About EMC
3
The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe
  • An IDC White Paper – Sponsored by EMC


  • March 2008
4
The Rapidly Expanding Digital Universe
  • 281 exabytes (billion gigabytes of digital information created and replicated in 2007, 10% more than previously estimated
  • Close to two zetabytes of digital information in 2011
  • Over 95% of the digital universe is “unstructured data”
    • In organizations that number is 80%

The Digital Information World in 2011
6
The Enterprise Faces the Digital Universe
  • By estimating what percent of the content is generated by various device types or applications – such as e-mail, surveillance, or MP3 players – it is possible to come up with the share of total that is:
    • Security-intense – requires high standards of protection
    • Compliance-intense – is subject to government rules about retention, privacy, or protection
    • Preservation-intense – might reasonably be expected to be stored for 10 years or more
  • Note how all three categories are growing!

IT Imperatives for the Digital Universe Explosion
  • Dealing with the digital universe is not a technical problem alone
    • Transform existing relationships with business units
  • Development of organization-wide policies for information governance
    • Information security
    • Information retention
    • Data access
    • Compliance
  • Make the information infrastructure as flexible, adaptable, and scalable as possible
    • New tools and standards
    • Storage optimization
    • Management tools
    • Security tools

Challenges in Managing the
Expanding Digital Universe
  • Accelerating Growth of Information
    • Structured
    • Unstructured
    • Combined uses- Transactional Content


  • Data Classification
    • Rich meta-data
    • How many attributes to consider
      • Value?
      • Performance?
      • Availability?
      • Security?


  • Scaling the Physical Infrastructure
    • Storage, Network, Server resources
    • Protection (preservation) mechanisms
    • Costs? Complexity?
  • Information Retrieval
    • Finding the right information
    • At the right time
    • In a timely fashion

EMC’s Involvement with Information Preservation
  • Over $20 M donated toward information preservation projects:
    • Smithsonian Institution
    • John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum


  • In 2007 established the EMC Heritage Trust Project
    • Funding and resources for information preservation projects that protect invaluable information and improve access to that information.


    • Over $ 100K awarded, from $5K-15K per project to seven organizations
    • Herzogin Anna Amalia Library in Weimar, Germany, is preserving valued collections that survived a 2004 fire. Its holdings include a 20,000-volume collection of Faust first editions and Goethe documents, as well as maps and atlases from the 15th through the 19th centuries.
