Data piles up, but it's badly disorganized, study warns |
December 16, 2012
Only 0.5 percent of the world's data is being analyzed, according to an IDC study that also identifies opportunities for companies that can protect and extract value from the massive amounts of data being generated daily by people and machines.
The EMC Corporation sponsored study shows that 2.8 zettabytes (ZB) of data would have been created and replicated in 2012 and the digital universe will reach 40 zettabytes (ZB) by 2020.
Machine-generated data is set to increase 15 times by 2020 and emerging markets will oust the developed world as the main producer of the world's data by this time.
The investment on the "infrastructure" of the digital universe that includes IT hardware, software, services, telecommunications, and staff will grow by 40 percent between 2012 and 2020.
