It’s a I/O world
▪ IDC projects that the digital universe will
reach 40 ZB by 2020, an amount that
exceeds previous forecasts by 14%.
▪ In terms of sheer volume, 40 ZB of data is
equivalent to:
▪ There are 700,500,000,000,000,000,000 grains
of sand on all the beaches on earth (or
seven quintillion five quadrillion). That
means 40 ZB is equal to 57 times the
amount of all the grains of sand on all the
beaches on earth.

Offers a different balance or proportion
▪ Normal memory and input/output capability coupled with a reduced
processor execution rate
▪ The "shape" of the work should match the server
