I came across an interesting article yesterday in eWeek. Analysts believe that once we get past the current recession an unprecedented period of data growth is going to take place. They predicted thousands of exabytes (1 exabyte = 1,000 petabytes) will created by individuals and companies beginning in 2011. The article explores whether today’s business continuity products and services – and IT staff — will be able to cope with this growth. Food for thought.
