Fast Track
60% of CIOs say their data will outpace their company’s storage solution in 12 months.
Keeper League
46% retain data for six to 10 years due to regulation and compliance.
Information Overload
37% are storing between 500,000 and 1 million gigabytes of data. An additional 19% are storing 1 million to 499 million gigabytes of data.
Grand Plan
47% anticipate storing one petabyte to one exabyte of data in two years, up from 34% today.
Price Quote

Tough Call
46% say they’ll have to get selective about which data they keep if their budgets remain unchanged.

Three of four say they can access only 50% or less of their data within 30 seconds.
