Zettabytes, projected size of global datasphere in 2025

2025

Streaming a World of Data

Our world is saturated with data.

In 2018, humanity created 33 zettabytes (ZB). By 2025, it’s estimated

that we’ll create 175ZB.

But that shouldn’t come as a shock if you consider how much of our

personal and professional lives depend on the digital world. Almost

everything is data-driven. As a civilization, we store entertainment in

the cloud and employ smart devices at the edge of the network in

places like autonomous vehicles and agricultural environments. All of

that data deserves enablement.

At Seagate, our global team is leading the way toward advanced data

enablement with unrivaled technology that harnesses the datasphere.

New Approaches for a New Age

An insatiable desire for greater capacity and performance has kept

our innovators busy. The result? Pure brilliance, as showcased in our

HAMR and MACH.2 advanced technologies.

These advanced data storage solutions are designed to turbo charge

our Exos

enterprise hard drives. Data center architects and IT

professionals rely on Exos enterprise hard drives to deliver extreme

performance, solid reliability, and ironclad security while lowering TCO

in demanding 24×7 operations.

(heat-assisted magnetic

recording)

delivers the next big leap in areal

density by enabling 20TB+ by

2019 and 40TB+ by 2023.

(multi-actuator

technology)

doubles IOPS via parallel data

ow in each drive, which offsets

reduced data availability.

Smart Manufacturing

Proactive, cognitive systems will demand

greater analysis. In 2025 the amount of

analyzed data that is ‘touched’ by cognitive

systems will grow by a factor of

100 to 1.4ZB

Intelligent mobility

Proliferation of embedded systems and IoT is

generating more data. By 2025, a connected

person will interact with a connected device

nearly 4800 times per day.

The number of embedded system devices

feeding the data center per person:

Use Cases

Life-critical applications

Data is shifting from business background to

life critical. 20% of all data will be life critical

data by 2025.

Actionable communications

Data is evolving from consumer-led to

enterprise-driven.

Seagate is changing how Enterprises use

data. Unlike IT 3.0, in IT 4.0, data ow is

no longer predictable and limited. It is uid,

and the model of endpoints to cloud no

longer works. A “cloud plus” model is on the

horizon and that is where trillions of endpoints

produce zettabytes of data that will change

the way we live.

Video surveillance

Data is a vital business asset that needs to

be protected. Data generated by surveillance

will increase as much as 20% by 2025.

Autonomous cars Remote monitoring

Power grid operation

In 2017, less than In 2025, more than

Yesterday’s storage solutions can’t contain tomorrow’s data. IT 4.0 has

ignited the need for massive storage capacity that grows easily. Learn

about the use cases that drive this data demand.

Cloud Building Blocks

High capacity efcient enclosures

that easily grow with enterprises

of any size. Now up to 106 16TB
