I have no idea what is or isn’t a lot of data for a university beyond scaling how much stuff is on my own PC

Yeah, judged on a "home user" scale 150TB may seem like a lot but it really isn't when you're talking about Government / University / Enterprise.

Just one of the servers I have under management is currently using 49TB and there's another one in that rack using 40TB. That ~90TB (over half of what's in the article) for just two servers in a single rack at a single company.

BIG data amounts are measured in Petabytes or Exabytes.
