Sources of Data
•More users are coming online.
•They are online more portions of the day.
•More activities are going digital.
•The depth of that digital content is growing more dense.
•More items are the source of digital content.
•Many sources are moving from discrete to continuous sources of
data.
•The number of continuous sources is finally poised to grow
explosively.

The End User
•Multimedia content•More pictures• Larger pictures•Video• Increasingly cell phone driven, making video creation more accessible• Security cameras mounted everywhere•Web cams
•Web content•Clickstream activity•Social interactions•Mapping connections between people, and between people and systems
• Location information•Cell phones• 1 billion per year
•Consumer-oriented convenience devices• Toll devices• Payment devices

The Enterprise
•RFID and other electronic tagging.
•Sensor networks.
• Increased digitization of products.
• Increased creation of communicating products.
• Increased digital content in work processes.

Either EMC is the most undervalued company in the history of the computing industry

Or New Approaches are Required
• We will not be able to effectively or economically store all of the
data we are creating.
• Even if we could, the agile company will have to develop ways of
sensing and reacting in near real-time to effectively exploit the
business opportunities presented by this explosion of data.

New Questions
•What should we store and what is safe to discard?
•What are the legal and regulatory ramifications of selective data
retention?
•How do we define the triggers, events and conditions that mark data
as storage-worthy?
•Where in the computing and communications architecture do these
decisions get made?
•The edge?
•The core?
•The nexus?
•Everywhere?
• It depends?
