Global Cloud Index is an ongoing effort to forecast the growth of global data center and cloud-based
IP traffic. The forecast includes trends associated with data center virtualization and cloud computing. This
document presents the details of the study and the methodology behind it.
Global data center traffic:
● Annual global data center IP traffic will reach 4.8 zettabytes by the end of 2015. In 2015, global data center
IP traffic will reach 402 exabytes per month.
● Global data center IP traffic will increase fourfold over the next 5 years. Overall, data center IP traffic will
grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33 percent from 2010 to 2015.
Data center virtualization and cloud computing transition:
● The number of workloads per installed traditional server will increase from 1.4 in 2010 to 2.0 in 2015.
● The number of workloads per installed cloud server will increase from 3.5 in 2010 to 7.8 in 2015.
● By 2014, more than 50 percent of all workloads will be processed in the cloud.
Global cloud traffic:
● Annual global cloud IP traffic will reach 1.6 zettabytes by the end of 2015. In 2015, global cloud IP traffic
will reach 133 exabytes per month.
● Global cloud IP traffic will increase twelvefold over the next 5 years. Overall, cloud IP traffic will grow at
a CAGR of 66 percent from 2010 to 2015.
● Global cloud IP traffic will account for more than one-third (34 percent) of total data center traffic by 2015.
3D printers, sensor networks, virtual humans and other technologies under development now will drastically change our world in the decade to come, according to Cisco chief futurist Dave Evans
"veryone talks about open innovation and external collaboration today, but we should not forget that the most important assets and opportunities lie within the organization.
In this interview, Matt Asman, who is responsible for leading the Innovation Management Office (IMO) at Cisco, shares his views and insights on employee driven innovation. The outset for the interview is that Matt previously led Innovation Europe, one of Cisco's strategic priorities within the European Theatre."
Le Palais des congrès de Montréal, en partenariat avec Bell Canada et Cisco, modernisera son réseau sans fil et sa signalisation électronique. Le projet inclut aussi un site Web compatible aux appareils mobiles, des applications mobiles personnalisées, une plateforme Web de gestion des événements et une infrastructure d'intelligence événementielle.

"The world's foremost internet traffic study and growth forecast, which historically has been proven very accurate, describes a further explosion of internet traffic around the world and in Australia. The findings illustrate a requirement for fibre optic cable "deep deep into the infrastructure" both for wired and wireless broadband connections."
