Size of the digital universe by 2020.That’s 500 quadrillion “files,”

nearly as many bits of information as stars in our physical universe.

The current size of the digital universe:

Percentage of unstructured data in the digital universe.

By 2015, nearly 20% of the information will be “touched”

by cloud computing service providers (a byte will be stored

or processed in a cloud at some point).

Information in the digital universe that can be said to have at least minimal security or protection.

Digital information that should be protected, and actually is.

In 2010, 28% of the digital universe required

some level of security.

Increase in the number of servers worldwide (virtual and

physical) over the next decade.

Increase in the number of enterprise data centers.

Over the next decade:

The number of files data centers will have to deal with will grow by a factor of at least 75.

Today nearly 10% of the information running through servers is doing so on virtualized systems. This is expected to grow to more than 20% by 2015.
