The scale of the Internet is awe-inspiring. By 2021, there will be 4.6 billion people and 27 billion devices connected to the Internet, and Internet traffic will reach 2.8 trillion Gigabytes (or 2.8 Zettabytes) per year.
Even with multiple Zettabytes crossing the network each year, there are some things that dwarf even the Internet. We started the Global Cloud Index (GCI) seven years ago in order to capture the scale of data more generally, as it relates to the advent of the cloud. In our most recent report, there are five categories of data that meet or exceed Internet traffic volume by 2021.
