The correct SI prefix is "peta" for 10^15 ( with "exa" for 10^18).
As for peta storage, I believe that there is a Sony video archival system called PetaSite.

But its been a long time ago, so my memory could flock me. > > The next number (2^50) is Exabyte. > > After that the story becomes somewhat mysterious, but there seem to be > at least to more entities - zettabyte and yottabyte (sic).
