There’s so much happening in the video surveillance market in 2011. From A (analytics) to Z (zettabytes), continued advancement in key areas means the best video has to offer just keeps getting better.
Do you know what a zettabyte is? A zettabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one billion terabytes. When the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast was released in 2010, it projected that international Internet traffic would increase by more than four times to 767 exabytes (an exabyte is 1 million terabytes), or by more than three-fourths of a zettabyte, by the year 2014. This increase was equivalent to 10 times of all the traffic traversing Internet Protocol (IP) networks in the year 2008.
In fact, the report indicated that video would continue to dominate the IP traffic, exceeding 91 percent of global consumer IP traffic by the year 2014, while the increasing popularity of high-definition television (HDTV) also would be a key factor helping quadruple IP traffic from 2009 to 2014.
