In 2007, information created by humanity amounted to 281,000 million GB
widespread perception exists that the digital universe is infinite. Would be tantamount to think that digital storage media are also available and continually expanding infinitely capable of absorbing vast amounts of information produced daily. 
But what we mean when we refer to the digital universe? Photos, film, television and digital audio, plus a number hard to pin down all kinds of documents. To evaluate these figures: in 2007, generated 45 gigabytes per person on the planet, the study found The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe: An Updated Forecast of the Global Information Growth to Year 2011 
, developed by the consultant IDC. According to the source, in 2007, the total volume of information created, captured and replicated worldwide climbed to 281,000 million gigabytes. The number is so huge, so abstract, that the report calls for an almost poetic metaphor to explain: "We can only say that during 2007 the number of bits in the digital universe was greater than the number of stars in the physical universe" . And they say grow 10 times over 5 years. According to an IDC forecast, the digital universe will increase at a rate of 60% annually between 2007 and 2011
. And in the face of phenomena such as Web 2.0, in 2011, advance, users create 70% of the global digital information. However, data created by the public do not represent half the total, which is predominantly digital shadow
call. The concept refers to content that is not created by people, but about people. Examples? Security camera images, searched the Internet, credit card transactions, mailing lists, images of medical studies, and so on.
The digital shadow
The report also states that while corporate and government level produce 30% of the global digital information, are directly responsible for the safety of 85% of the information that must be protected issues confidentiality and regulatory compliance.
Your challenge is to manage a flood of unstructured information that is not indexed in any database, because according to IDC, 95% of the digital universe is unstructured data composed of organizations and these data add 80% of all available information. For everyone to do an analysis of their own fingerprint on this world of ones and zeros, is available a free software called Personal Digital Footprint Calculator .
To Henry Forbes, a former Oracle
is now manager of the Content Management area of EMC
-company-sponsored study, the explosion of unstructured information required by companies' use of all resources software intelligence to optimize their availability. "
According to the manager, "a solution that addresses these requirements are listed today from $ 30,000 in the country." In the future, perhaps the new and challenging ways as atomic storage, which aims to transform the hard-disk atoms can provide an answer to the Big Bang of data to be announced. Rafael Bini

great transformations "Deciphering
technology market is not easy. In a business where the only thing planned is the constant transformation of products and services are very few make standing in anticipating major trends. The IDC just to make their top ten predictions for this year in the regional market. among them is the emergence of a new wave of virtualization that will impose increasing market model both hardware and software in the format service tariffs. A business that has grown to create an important opportunity for new ventures that grow in the shade of major market players.
The first key is that the Latin American market will stand the test of the recessionary climate today seems to be the greatest threat to the global economy.

Virtualization 2.0 Sixth, a new generation of open source solutions will be released this year, leaving behind the idea that in this area everything is Linux. As seventh prediction, say the computer security market will focus less on technical issues for claims arising from the business itself. Eighth, we will open an opportunity for applications
Business Process Management, which are ripe for a shoot a large scale. A dynamic new technology businesses is the ninth prediction, the result will be what is called Virtualization 2.0. Translated: the hardware also is poised to become increasingly a service. 
BPO (Business Process Outsourcing). That is, the outsourcing of business processes of a company, also identified as back office and front office. Finally, IDC predicts that 2008 will be a year marked by great changes " and we will see in the course very marked change in the way that technology relate to their customers.

technology just to make known to Gartner.
As observers in the global IT industry, analysts clarify the impact of these trends to watch "may not be very visible in the course of this year" but warned that those who understand and can take advantage of them
gain a competitive advantage in their businesses . Gartner predicts that by 2012, 50% of business travelers will leave your notebook at home to take with other types of devices. According to the source, even though laptops have shrunk still generate the most discomfort when to move and carry them.
In four years, Gartner said at least one third of business applications will be sold as a subscription to a service instead of selling the product license. This model of software as a service is in operation and requires the user pays only for what you use. Already applying giants like Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, Google and Amazon. As expected, this model also known as SaaS (software as a service gain a competitive advantage in their businesses . Gartner predicts that by 2012, 50% of business travelers will leave your notebook at home to take with other types of devices. According to the source, even though laptops have shrunk still generate the most discomfort when to move and carry them.
The vendors are currently developing a solution for this: a new handheld continuously connected to the Internet with a market value of less than 400 dollars (about 1300 pesos). Would a new class of applications that encapsulate your personal information, allowing recreate in different locations or systems.
The forecast indicates that by 2011, Apple will double its share in the business computers by the United States and Eastern Europe, "reflecting more the fault of its competitors that the success of Apple itself," he says. Steve Jobs's company, they say, will challenge their competitors with a powerful integration with software products gives greater flexibility and ease of use, as well as an ecosystem in which multiple devices can interoperate as an iMac, an iPod or iPhone. All open
2012, says the consultant, 80% of all commercial software will include open source technologies. Gartner estimates that many open source technologies will be sufficiently stable, reliable and mature to generate significant business opportunity. "Ignoring it will be disadvantaged," analysts said in their report. also indicate that the major application vendors, engage in strategies that include open-source embedded development will only be the entry step in order to remain competitive in the next five years. Another critical issue for the entire industry will be the rational consumption of energy by the entire computing ecosystem. Something that is becoming a problem in many countries, including Argentina. Rafael Bini
