Storage Report Predictions
April 3, 2010
Lots of “expects” and “estimates” in a report published by Coughlin Associates.I scanned a summary of some of the findings reported in “2010 Digital Storage for Media and Entertainment Report Released”. You can fill out a somewhat tedious form and get a copy of the full document by pointing your browser here. I found these three “factoids” interesting:
- Total revenue for storage media will increase about 4X from 2009 through 2015 ($415 M to $1,642 M)
- About 93% of the total storage capacity will be used for content archiving and preservation in 2009. (Good news for search I think.)
- Digital storage requirements are exploding due to use of higher resolution and stereoscopic content in the media and entertainment industry. (Maybe, maybe not).
