Have you ever got a doubt that where a pic or a post that you posted 5 or 10 yrs back in Facebook get stored and how we are able to read them back after many years🤔🤔.......
Simple answer for this question is that all the data/information is stored in Facebook server
Server:
--->In general definition of server is which serves the purpose. Server in Internet language can be defined as either hardware or software which can store data and can give access to data whenever it is required.
--->Whenever we send a mail or a pic to someone who is not in online the pic or data should be stored somewhere so that it can be delivered to target person when he is in online. The data will get stored in server and it keeps a copy of the data with it and sends it to target whenever he is in online.
--->The capacity of server depends on the traffic of that particular website. Facebook has admitted that its users utilize around 7PB (PB = 1e+15 bytes) of photos storage from its facility every month. Data centers are maintained all over the world and they require continuous power supply. Google's data centers use around 260 million watts of power which account to 0.01% of global energy. This power is enough to consistently power 2,00,000 homes.
Add on :
Processed data is known as information.
If we say 5 its data
If we say 5 Kg its an information. Any thing that has some meaning is known as information.
Server's is of 2 types
1. Dedicated servers: Works 24 x 7 and have high end capacities and capabilities to handle traffic
2. Non Dedicated servers: Even we can make our laptops or desktops as servers by installing software's and these comes under Non Dedicated servers.
