Digital Universe to Add 1.8 Zettabytes in 2011

Article by Rich Miller, posted on datacenterknowledge.com.  According to the article, which sites the most recent IDC study of the Digital Universe, it is expected that 1.8 Zettabytes of data will be stored in 2011.  That is over 1 Billion Terabytes.

To put this in some type of rationale perspective, if we looked at all the communications taking place in Twitter this year...it would take 100 years of tweets, at the current rate, to create 1 Zettabyte.

It is not a bold statement to say that eDiscovery and ESI will be important to the legal profession for quite some time to come.  If you don't agree, you can feel free to respond, and add even more data to the digital universe.
