I published this infographic on the Rackspace blog yesterday. We received some really awesome statistics about data stored online from various whitepapers published. After reading through all the research, a few things came to mind:
1- If you’re looking for a field to jump into, data storage technology is the place to be
2- Companies aren’t necessarily responsible only for the data they generate, they’re partially liable for the data their employees, clients and partners generate as well
3- Today it’s exabytes, tomorrow it’s zettabytes
Excellent infographic. The comparison by region is quite surprising.
