IP traffic to reach zettabyte status

Cisco has released an update to its visual networking index, predicting that global IP traffic will increase fivefold by 2013 to reach two-thirds of a zettabyte (a trillion gigabytes), reports Network World.

Cisco claims that a lot of the growth will stem from interactive media and video content delivered across multiple devices. Cisco predicts that by 2010 Internet video traffic volumes will surpass peer-to-peer and by 2013, Internet video will be 700 times what the US backbone was in 2000.

Cisco predicts that by 2013 mobile audio will account for 7% of global mobile traffic, followed by peer-to-peer traffic at 10% and mobile data at 19%. Mobile video will be responsible for 64% of worldwide mobile traffic by 2013.

Autonomy, a global provider in infrastructure software, says its flagship document management solution, iManage WorkSite, now supports the Apple iPhone, states PR Newswire.

This marks the latest addition to iManage's extensive list of mobile support, including the BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile, and Symbian.

The integration allows WorkSite users to access and manage their e-mails and content from anywhere and enable them to stay productive to client needs.

Wireless technologies innovator Qualcomm expects emerging markets such as the Philippines to drive growth in 3G, says GMA News.

The Philippines is expected to have 70% of the expected increase in 3G users around the world, according to the World Cellular Information Services.

Qualcomm president for Southeast Asia, John Stefanac, says: “We see consumer electronics convergence taking place, convergence of computing platforms and devices. We want to ensure a whole plethora of devices. We don't think of 3G as just being these handsets. It is more than that in terms of capabilities.”
