Data explosion to hit in next 4 years - Data and Server Racks

Data explosion to hit in next 4 years - Data and Server Racks The data explosion predicted by Cisco to take place in the next three to four years could see companies investing in server racks and accessories.

According to the company, cloud data traffic is to rise 12-fold by 2015 and will account for half of data centres' workloads by 2014.

The volume of data will increase from current annual levels of 130 exabytes to 1.6 zettabytes by 2015.

It is expected that around 76 percent of data centre traffic will remain within the data centres themselves.

"The vast majority of the data centre traffic is not caused by end users but by the data centres and clouds themselves undertaking activities that are largely non-transparent to end users – like backup and replication," Cisco's report stated.

Earlier this week, figures from Gartner revealed that global server sales are almost back at pre-recession levels thanks to a stronger than expected performance in the third quarter.
