By 2025 it’s estimated that there will be 7 petabytes of data generated every day compared with “just” 2.3 And it’s not just any type of data. The majority of it (80%) is now estimated to be unstructured data such as images, videos, and documents — a resource from which enterprises are still not getting much value.
