Data is growing at an unprecedented rate. Within the next decade, the amount of data managed by data centers is expected to increase by over 60 percent, as projected by the Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). By 2020, data centers were estimated to store 14 times more data than in 2010. During this period, the […]
