The juke boxes have a capacity of 131 platters each. Assume that the time period is 10 months startig with June. Assume that we are segregating out the ENG and EDT data. Assume that no data compression will be done during this period. For now, this is the best I can do.
All numbers are in gagbytes.
I use these figures to get a ratio. If we assume that the platters in the juke box are all full of data and subtract out the 9 safe stores currently in the jukeboxes, then we have 413 otical disks full of data in the jukeboxes. So since we had 413 platters and we will replace them by 188 active platters, we will have 225 slots freed up in the juke box. The following figures use the tables at the end of this section and the ingest numbers from April of 96. This estimate includes the CAL, EDT and pod files.
