For the past decade, object storage has replaced many legacy enterprise storage platforms like tape, virtual tape library (VTL), purpose-built backup appliances, and others due to its inherent advantages with performance and scale. IDC estimates that by 2025 the sum of all data in the world will be in the order of 175 zettabytes (one zettabyte is 10^21 bytes), and of this data, IDC expects 80% to be unstructured data like objects.
