The exabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage. The prefix exa (symbol E) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1018 (1 quintillion, short scale), and therefore 1 exabit = 1018 bits = 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 bits = 1000 petabits. The exabit has the unit symbol Ebit or Eb.
The exabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. In the International System of Units (SI), the prefix exa indicates multiplication by the sixth power of 1000 (1018). Therefore, one exabyte is one quintillion bytes (short scale). The symbol for the exabyte is EB.
