Yahoo stores more than 250 Billion objects and half an exabyte of perpetually durable user content such as photos, videos, email, and blog posts. Object storage at Yahoo is growing at 20-25% annually. The growth is primarily driven by mobile, images, video, and user growth. Yahoo is betting on software defined storage to scale storage cost effectively along with the durability and latency guarantees.
