Making the news during the first few days of June was Cisco, predicting that the number of network connected devices will be more than 15 billion by 2015. The company’s fifth annual Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast also predicted that the total amount of global Internet traffic will quadruple by 2015, reaching 966 exabytes per year.
The projected increase that Cisco sees in Internet traffic between 2014 and 2015 is 200 exabytes in and of itself. That number alone is greater than the total amount of Internet Protocol (IP) traffic generated globally in 2010. This is on the verge of reaching 1 zettabyte, which is equal to sextillion bytes, or one trillion gigabytes, all astounding numbers.
Here are some other numbers from the Cisco report:
According to Cisco, four factors are driving global IP traffic growth:
Cisco is using the projected growth of the Internet and IP traffic as an opportunity to market its products. Says Suraj Shetty, Cisco’s VP of Worldwide Service Provider Marketing: “The explosive growth in Internet data traffic, especially video, creates an opportunity in the years ahead for optimizing and monetizing visual, virtual and mobile Internet experiences. As architect of the next-generation Internet, Cisco stands ready to help our customers not only accommodate this rapid expansion of Internet activity through the evolution of their networks but also help them thrive as a result of it."
