2 Petabytes = 2000 Terabytes.
Current rate of adding 100TB per month.
Therefore, they will need to add another 2 or 4 Petabyted in another 18 months.

The Archive Wayback machine is second only to Wikipedia as the most useful web site on the Planet.

Once a good site dies, it's gone for ever and all its useful data is lost.

Many a time I've found a good article, then discovered later that the makeover the site has had means that the useful stuff has been discarded in favour of a pretty Flash panel.

Many thanks to Archive.org. Long may it continue.

The title doesn't state that the Internet Archive is new, but rather a new data center is opening - big difference. The Internet Archive IS allowed to have more than one data center, isn't it?

Folks this is simply expansion of the bog-standard archive that has existed for years and years... I've used the wayback machine many times and yes it is neat and valuable but it ain't new as the title implies.
