Take a carrier like Comcast that has ~20,000,000 subscribers. That's 660,000,000,000 or 660 Terabytes per day of log files. Now, imagine trying to keep that data set for 7 years worth of data. That's a 660*365*7 = 1,686,300 Terabyte (or 1.7 Exabyte) storage array.

On my side of the Atlantic pond 660,000,000,000 is 660 Gigabytes. --Johnny
