161 billion gigabytes

April 11, 2007

I found this article in EMC site last week about the size of our digital universe.

  • The 2006 digital universe was 161 billion gigabytes (161 exabytes) in size.
  • IDC projects a six fold annual information growth from 2006 to 2010.
  • While nearly 70% of the digital universe will be generated by individuals by 2010, organizations will be responsible for the security, privacy, reliability and compliance of at least 85% of the information.
