International. Studies continue to confirm the trend on migration to the cloud for file storage and management, with video being an important segment. This is confirmed by the most recent study by the consulting firm Gartner, which indicates that by 2016 the space required for storage will reach 4.1 zettabytes, while it currently stands at 329 exabytes.
The report points out that this growth will be due, among other reasons, to the fact that every day there are more devices connected to the network and that is why it points out that a third of the files that are currently stored on computers and mobile devices will be in the cloud by 2016, a figure that today only reaches 7%.
Another reason for this growth, according to Gartner, is that most connected mobile devices currently have photo and video cameras, which makes consumers require more storage capacity, which they find in the cloud.
According to the consulting company, cloud storage will grow with the appearance of the personal cloud, which, it is expected, will be a product of mass consumption and estimates that storage per family will rise from 464 gigabytes in 2011 to 3.3 terabaytes in 2016, with social networks, such as Facebook, being the most used destinations.
Theorists of communication technologies begin to refer to the post-CP era, referring to the fact that it is less and less necessary to have a computer to access and store digital content, because other devices and the cloud are gaining ground.
