David Gobaud writes "Jason Sobel, the manager of infrastructure engineering at Facebook, gave an interesting presentation titled Needle in a Haystack: Efficient Storage of Billions of Photos at Stanford for the Stanford ACM. Jason explains how Facebook efficiently stores ~6.5 billion images, in 4 or 5 sizes each, totaling ~30 billion files, and a total of 540 TB and serving 475,000 images per second at peak. The presentation is now online here in the form of a Flowgram."http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=08/06/25/148203 (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/25/148203&from=rss)
