There has been a tremendous increase in the volume of internet-based digital data communications over the past decade, with global cloud data center traffic reaching 8.2 zettabytes (8.2 x 1021 bytes) in 2017 alone. This is the equivalent of streaming 2.7 trillion hours of high-definition movies. Both consumer and non-consumer demand are driving this growth. On the consumer side, internet traffic arising from social media, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, etc., has exploded, as has the use of streaming media platforms such as NETFLIX, Hulu, YouTube, and others. E-commerce platforms like Amazon, Alibaba, Ebay and others have gained significant acceptance in a very short period.
