Data creation is occurring at a record rate. In 2010, the world generated over 1ZB of data; by 2014, we will generate 7ZB a year. Much of this data explosion is the result of a dramatic increase in devices located at the periphery of the network including embedded sensors, smartphones, and tablet computers. All of this data creates new opportunities to "extract more value" in human genomics, healthcare, oil and gas, search, surveillance, finance, and many other areas. We are entering the age of "Big Data." (source IDC/AMD white paper 2011)
