Cisco
in its latest fourth annual Global
Cloud Index (2013 – 2018) forecast growth in cloud traffic, workloads and storage
in the Middle East and Africa (MEA), reports ITRealms.
The
Cisco Index also showed to ITRealms
that with private cloud significantly outpacing public cloud, experts foresee
that in the next five years, data center traffic will nearly triple, with cloud
representing 76 per cent of total data center traffic.
“By
2018, half of the world’s population will have residential Internet access and
more than half of those users’ (53 per cent) content will be supported by personal
cloud storage services,” the study revealed.
ITRealms recalls the United Nations
disclosed recently that the world’s
projected population by 2018 will be 7.6 billion people.
Equally,
the project study indicated that African enterprises are steadily embracing
cloud computing as the next big step in the advancement of the Internet.
This
trend, ITRealms gathered is
definitely being witnessed on the continent as more and more individuals as
well as companies are embracing cloud-based solutions.
Further, ITRealms
notes some key highlights from the study
for the region to include that from 2013 through 2018, Middle East and Africa
is expected to have the second highest cloud workload growth rate.
Even as Asia Pacific (45% CAGR); Middle East and
Africa (39% CAGR); and Latin America (34% CAGR).
Just as in the Middle East and Africa, data center
traffic will reach 366 exabytes per year (30 exabytes per month) by 2018, up
from 68 exabytes per year (5.7 exabytes per month) in 2013, a CAGR of 40% from
2013 to 2018.
