In October 2004, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) installed over 1.1 Petabytes of DataDirect Networks high performance storage on BlueGene/L. The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in the USA has a 1 petabyte hard disk store and a 6 petabyte robotic tape store, both attached to the National Science Foundation's TeraGrid network.
