What type of storage area network (SAN) devices does the Church use and how big are they?
I recently ran across an article call “The Worlds Biggest SANs” the writer of the article is in search of the Biggest SANs.
It got me thinking and wondering how much storage the LDS Church has know that they have some big databases. The church has a technology website where they want to share their technologies and are open for comments and questions. The purpose of the tech site is outlined here.
I posed a question about a week ago asking what type of SAN devices and how much storage the church has.
Today they posted a response to my question. The Church has about 380 TB of storage across 3 separate SAN architectures.

Excel 2007 Multiplication Bug
From Slashdot Article: “tibbar66 writes with news of a serious multiplication bug in Excel 2007, which has been reported to the company. The example that first came to light is =850*77.1 — which gives a result of 100,000 instead of the correct 65,535. It seems that any formula that should evaluate to 65,535 will act strangely. One poster in the forum noted these behaviors:
“Suppose the formula is in A1. =A1+1 returns 100,001, which appears to show the formula is in fact 100,000… =A1*2 returns 131,070, as if A1 had 65,535 (which it should have been). =A1*1 keeps it at 100,000. =A1-1 returns 65,534. =A1/1 is still 100,000. =A1/2 returns 32767.5.”"
