Cloud computing growth will outpace network infrastructure growth

12/6/2011, according to a recent Cisco report, by 2016, the annual Global data center IP traffic will reach 4.8 million trillion bytes. Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37255.html ">2015 year, the Global data center monthly IP traffic will reach 402 million megabytes." Most importantly, global data center IP traffic will increase four times times over the next five years. From 2010 to 2015, all data center IP traffic will increase by 33% annually.

Cloud computing is the first big driver of its growth, which comes from business-class and consumer-level use. "One of the big drivers of cloud computing services is the expectation that users can access applications and content anytime, anywhere, through any network or device," The Cisco report said. Indeed, to 3721.html ">2014 years, more than 50% of the load will be migrated to the cloud."

What does that mean for you?

One is the larger bandwidth load. We want to access network resources anytime, anywhere, and this is not just a trend, it's going to be a sport. We also know that this is a change from 2G to 3G, and now it is to 4G. At the same time, there are constantly escalating communication pipelines within the data center, as well as the data center itself.

But while the bandwidth providers and data centers have grown their network capacity, I still suspect that we will not be able to reach the limits of our businesses and ISPs. Of course, cable operators think they will be able to do that. I also see some limitations in cloud storage vendors, including Box.net, Dropbox, Mozy, Carbonite, and even amazon.com\ ' sS3.

With the development of cloud computing, we have to solve the problem of bandwidth limitation, and to some extent, this problem can be solved. Cloud computing will grow faster than the growth of the network infrastructure, which means that both corporate it and consumer it will make difficult changes.
