I know that I can upload videos to YouTube, constantly, but I’m curious, how does YouTube store all the videos? Like where are they all held?
In: Technology
Youtube has multiple datacenters located around the world. Each of these contains a lot of servers and storage.
This in turn is copied to multiple datacenters to protect from data loss.
Youtube also uses caching services that storage popular videos near the edge (at ISPs) the speed up performance and reduce bandwidth usage. Akamai is one such common caching service that Youtube uses, they also use Google CDN.
