2016 is ‘year of the zettabyte’
To put things into perspective, 1ZB is around 1.1 trillion GB – yes, 1.1 trillion gigabytes. The infographic, above, says that according to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index, the “world will cross the Zettabyte threshold of data transferred annually via the Internet by the end of 2016”. To put things into an even scarier perspective, 1PB (Petabyte) is 1024TB (Terabyte), and 1EX (Exabyte) is 1024PB, so 1ZB is an insane 1024EB, which is just scary.
