- In 2010, the Digital Universe will grow by about 60% to 1.2 million petabytes a.k.a., 1.2 "zettabytes"
- By 2020, the Digital Universe will grow to 35 trillion gigabytes as all major forms of media - voice, TV, radio, print - are fully migrated from analog to digital
- By 2020, the Digital Universe will be 44 times as big as in 2009 and the theoretical stack of DVDs will reach halfway to Mars
Maintaining Privacy
With extreme size and growth of the Digital Universe, we can expect more than a few headaches in managing, storing, securing and protecting this data as mandated by laws in 46 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Indeed the IDC found that while information is growing at a pace of 50% a year, unprotected yet sensitive data is growing more than twice as fast!
A Digital Landfill
Fueling the growth of the Digital Universe is digital junk. In fact, we're informed that 75% of the Digital Universe is made up of copies; only 25% is actually unique.
A Digital Breakwater
Safe-T, eTouchware's secure managed file transfer solution, is a digital breakwater that can be used to protect your company from the upcoming tsunami. Safe-T offers security and privacy protection for data in transit and data at rest.
- For data in transit, Safe-T lets you transfer files of any size using Outlook with a variety of security measures including secure protocols, encryption, one-time passwords, and more.
- For data at rest, the Safe-T directory can be configured so that data remains on the network and cannot be copied to the consumer devices invading the workplace.
Safe-T can also be used to stem the growth of digital junk for both data at rest and data in transit.
- For data at rest, the use of Safe-T can avoid primary duplication by centralizing the storage of data files in virtual "Safe-T directories" and cleaning up digital junk at scheduled intervals.
- For data in transit, the use of Safe-T eliminates even more digital junk since secure links are sent out while a single attachment is centrally stored for download.
