Cloud statistics

Studying someone else's cloud experience, I came across a curious report for 2011 and at the same time a forecast up to 2016 for cloud technologies. The most interesting facts are:

NB: part of the “illustrative” examples was made by me, part is taken from the report.


About now:
So, in 2011, 1.8 Zettabyte information was created (the report states that “it will be created”, but now it is already 2012, so we take it for fact). Zettabyte is 2 70 . Who remembers the fairy tale about chess, then there is a speech about 2 64 .
')
Since discs of 2 TB (terabytes) are already a commonplace phenomenon, 1.8 zettabytes are approximately 1,000,000,000 (billion) disks of 2 TB each or 425 billion DVDs. 25,000 (twenty-five thousand) kilometers of double-byte disks or 540,000 (five hundred forty thousand) kilometers of DVD (without a cover). A little further than the moon.

In a more “consumer” aspect, this is 57.5 billion iPad 2, with 32GB on board, worth 34.4 trillion dollars.

In 2011, the average monthly traffic of the entire Internet was 80.5 exabytes (exabyte = 2 60 ) or 28,000,000 DVDs)

48 hours of video is uploaded to youtube every minute.

The area of ​​the largest data center in the world is 92,903 square meters (17 football fields)

Each year, data centers grow on 5.75 million servers.

Electricity consumption by an average data center is equivalent to energy consumption of 25,000 houses (meaning an average American house, which according to statistics consumes 18 MWh of 6,000 KWh of actual electricity and another 12,000 KWh of heating for fuel oil or gas, etc.)

In total, data centers consume 80,000,000 MWh, which is 1.5 times more than the whole of New York

At the same time, 30% of electricity is spent on cooling (if in money, then 281 million dollars for heating the air outside)

15% of data centers do not have a backup / restore strategy, and 30% back up data within themselves (that is, if a local happens, but the full pe - the probability of data recovery is small)

About then:
In 2015, the total traffic transmitted by networks will be 966 Exabytes (if you look at the current monthly rate, it turns out that there will be no growth)

In 2015, the average monthly traffic per user is 24.8 GB.

Considering the current costs of electricity, by 2015 the volume of investments in energy efficiency of data centers will be about $ 42 billion.

About clouds:
Some average users claim that they save about 21% of the money after migrating their applications to the cloud, and 81% said: “Well, of course, we save, in general, of course, yes.”

Most popular cloud applications: Gmail (34%), Google Docs & Microsoft Live Meeting (29%) and WebEx (28%)

Potential cloud users are divided into the following groups:

But at the same time - 74% of the surveyed companies use clouds anyway. (the clouds themselves, or services running in the clouds), and 79% of the SRT claim that some of their combat applications are running in the cloud.

49% of clients first developed a strategy - what and how are they doing in the clouds, and 51% immediately took up checkers.

4% of companies use clouds to store backup data.

Cloud Rating:
Who uses the clouds like: For data storage - 30% of clients, for databases - 28, Computational power: 27%, search - 12%, and 2% - for everything else, everything is at 24% sitting in closed clouds, at 37 % in open and 39% in mixed.

43% of companies use closed clouds

Almost 40% of companies do not monitor their cloud resources, 53% do not have adequate tools to manage their cloud infrastructure, and 64% expect that they will need new tools in the process of transferring their services to the cloud.

About the rest:
The delay in loading the page by 1 second leads to a decrease in conversion by 7%, a decrease in the number of pages viewed by 11%, and the “satisfied users” becomes less by 16%.

UPD: Thanks to the user mgn and, special, amarao for pointing out two clinical errors in translation.
