Within the technology sector, we often see promising technologies and companies fail, and frequently see seemingly inferior technologies beat out superior products and approaches. This will continue.<\/p>\n<p>The wide-ranging input and insight I receive from hundreds of speakers and other colleagues can be confusing. Most people have a favorite technology or two, strong voices can be found on many sides of particular issues, and I&#8217;m convinced there is no such thing as absolute truth.<\/p>\n<p>However, the big ideas are clear.

It describes &#8220;<em>the physical layer of hardware, facilities, and networks that extend beyond the walls of the traditional data center environment and that together form the foundation of the digital economy<\/em>.&#8221; The ZettaStructure encompasses everything else on the list above.<\/p>\n<p>The Internet will carry one million petabytes of data this year\u2014i.e., one zettabyte\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/solutions\/executive-perspectives\/annual-internet-report\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to Cisco<\/a>, and we will create a few more zettabytes just for grins for internal use. The amount of data will double in periods of less than 3 years, according to a research by Cisco.<\/p>\n<p>The ZettaStructure has arrived, and is growing by more than 100 terabytes each second.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Cisco-Global-IP-Traffic-Growth-2014-2019.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Cisco-Global-IP-Traffic-Growth-2014-2019.jpg\" alt=\"Cisco Global IP Traffic Growth 2014-2019\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16069\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A century from now, this amount of data will seem trivial.

They are working to make their services faster with a better customer experience. We&#8217;ve reached the point that stable owners faced in the 1930s, when they realized they needed to convert from supplying horses and hay to supplying auto service and gasoline.<\/p>\n<p>This is how fast things are moving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>The zettabyte of data crossing the Internet this year breaks down to about 140 terabytes for each person on earth.<\/li>\n<li>That&#8217;s about 16 megabytes per hour for each person on earth.<\/li>\n<li>Netflix grabs about 35% of prime-time traffic in the US<\/li>\n<li>Even so, gargantuan user Netflix is hogging only a few percentage points of overall global Internet traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_does_this_fit_into_the_big_picture\"><\/span>Where does this fit into the big picture?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can be concerned about the effect of data centers on the environment. Although data centers use only 2 to 3 percent of the electrical grid in most countries, they do have a significant footprint, and a growing one.<\/p>\n<p>My opinion is rather than\u2014or maybe in addition to\u2014incorporating some sort of certified green program, your better bet is to support ongoing basic research into the use of light and organic materials in creating the systems of the (near?) future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_up_blockchain\"><\/span>Next up: blockchain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>My next piece will take a look at the latest developments within the key blockchain technologies and communities.
