Global Data Centre Traffic To Triple By 2018 : Cisco

Traffic data center is ready to triple online in 2018 compared to current levels, with almost half the world's population, according to a study by Cisco. Network Solutions fourth annual US giant Cisco Global Cloud Index (2013-2018) predict strong growth in workloads in the cloud and storage traffic with private cloud segment Emerging significantly higher than the public cloud.

Cisco said traffic data center study projects to triple in the next five years, almost, with the cloud that 76% of all traffic data center. In 2018, half the world's population will have residential Internet access and more than half of these users (53%) the content will be support services personal cloud storage.

The study predicts that traffic overall data center is almost three times from 2013-2018, with annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23%, from 3.1 zettabyte / year in 2013 to 8.6 zettabyte / year in 2018. a zettabyte like a trillion gigabytes company added.

The 8.6 terabytes of center traffic forecast data for 2018 is equivalent to the transmission of all movies (approximately 500,000) and TV shows (3,000,000) ever made in Ultra High Definition (UHD) 250,000 times according to the study. Global cloud traffic is growing faster than the overall traffic of global data centers.In 2013, the cloud represents 54 percent of total traffic in the data center,and in 2018, the cloud will represent 76 percent of total traffic in the data center.

The data center traffic includes traffic data center to the user along with traffic data center to data center traffic stays within data centers, he added. In 2018, 53% of all residential Internet users worldwide use storage in the personal cloud and the average traffic cloud storage to the consumer by user will be 811 megabytes per month in 2018, compared to 186 megabytes per month in 2013, according to the study by Cisco.

When people talk of the cloud, which often focus on public cloud services or services of public cloud storage. However, a significant majority of workloads in the cloud today are transformed into private cloud environment, Cisco senior VP (service provider business, products and solutions), said Kelly Ahuja. Even with workloads public cloud has a significant growth in 2018, almost 70% of the workloads in the cloud will remain private cloud-related, requiring the ability to close workload through a public / private hybrid cloud environment, he added.
