No End in Sight to the Digital Data Deluge

Аннотация

The world’s information is doubling every two years, according to IDC, with 1.8 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes) created and replicated this year alone. That’s enough information to fill 57.5 billion 32GB iPads. The 2011 IDC Digital Universe Study sponsored by EMC includes the vast amount of data that is created and stored, as well as transient data that is typically not stored, including digital television signals for shows watched, but not recorded.
