Dell at Dreamforce: Brave the economy or prepare for the rebound?
"Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Inc., made an interesting observation during a brief appearance on the main stage at the Dreamforce conference. Today’s headlines tell us that, around the globe, things are slowing down – the economy, IT spending, investments in new technology and so on. But not everything is slowing, he said as statistics flashed across the screen behind him. Thousands of people log on to the Internet for the first time every day. By 2011, the amount of data being transmitted is expected to reach 1.8 zettabytes (for those doing the math, that’s 1 billion terabytes.) And energy consumption is expected to grow by 76 percent by 2010."
Zettabytes? Most of us are still wrestling with Terrabytes. ;o)
