The New Generation Of Storage Vendors

The total amount of data created and replicated, worldwide, will grow at a 23 percent CAGR from 79 zettabytes in 2021 to 181 zettabytes in 2025, according to market researcher IDC.

While most of that data isn’t saved, enough is stored to drive sales of data management and data storage systems that meet the need for ever-increasing capacity. IDC calculates that the “Global StorageSphere” – the total installed base of data storage capacity – reached 7.9 zettabytes in 2021 and will grow at a CAGR rate of greater than 19 percent through 2025.

That’s generating demand for leading-edge technologies for storing, managing, protecting and moving growing volumes of data. And that’s fueling a new crop of startups developing the next generation of data storage and disaster recovery systems.
