Using today’s architecture, it could cost cloud data centers:
> $240,000,000,000/yearin CAPEX + 1 Year OPEX
Cost of 6.5 Zettabytes
The World Has Changed: Dynamic Forces at Play
It’s an object-oriented world (e.g. photos, movies, Big Data), scale is unprecedented
Mobile + social drive new data center architectures
Cloud paves the way for disruption across systems and software
Open innovation enables cost-efficient scale
Full stack redefinition required and enabled by all of the above
The time is right for radical, collaborative new thinking; only leaders will win big.
