Parikh said that Facebook currently stores its entire live user database in a single data center, using its other data centers for redundancy and other data, and when the main database outgrows one data center, it is moved to another that has been expanded to support it, according to TechCrunch, adding that Project Prism will allow the social network to split up the live user database and host it across all of its data centers.
