Growing Storage Requirements
I read some interesting facts regarding the globally increasing demand for storage:
- Walmart adds a billion rows per minute to its database.
- YouTube contains as much data as all commercial television networks broadcast in a year.
- The Large Hadron Collider can generate terrabytes of data per second.
These facts are from a speech given by Jim Held, who is the Director of Terra-Scale computing in Intel.
