A Yottabyte of Storage Per Year by 2013

Slashdot: “”David Roberson, general manager of Hewlett-Packard’s StorageWorks
division, predicts that by 2013 the storage industry will be shipping a
yottabyte (a billion gigabytes) of storage capacity annually. Roberson
made the comment in conjunction with HP introducing a new rack system
that clusters together four blade servers and three storage arrays with
820TB of capacity. Many vendors are moving toward this kind of
platform, including IBM, with its recent acquisition of Israeli startup
XIV, according to Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Mark Peters.”
