Genuine question, is Exabyte-scale small in the context of cloud? Is Amazon stacking yottabytes?

Edit: 'Exabyte scale' was from a Forbes article in 2013

If you think this is a large datacenter, you are mistaken. You could fit this inside any cloud datacenter, and there are hundreds of those. The NSA thing draws 65MW. Google alone has over 7000MW of first-party energy generation resources, that doesn't begin to account for what they draw from the grid, and they're not even the biggest datacenter owner.
