Global IP traffic has increased eightfold over the past five years and will increase threefold over the next five years reaching 1.3 zettabytes (ZB) per year by the end of 2016. Data available for storage are predicted to reach 3.3 ZB in 2015. This growth in data usage and storage is fuelled by critical business applications, high-speed internet, multimedia networking applications, and “Big Data” causing applications to become more data-intensive, and thus, requiring higher data throughput, availability, processing speeds, and storage capacities.
