Etymology
The word Eb is a short form of exa + bit, where bit is the smallest piece of digital information and exa comes from a Greek word meaning 'six' because it marks six groups of three zeros. So an Eb is a huge number of bits — one followed by 18 zeros — and is used to talk about very large amounts of data, like whole internet traffic or big data centers.
