The Social Bowl
Being a couch potato is no longer a lonely existence! And as the social media universe expands, the volume of conversations generated from events like a major television show can be staggering. The Super Bowl is a perfect example. In the 2012 Super Bowl on Feb. 5 between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, the number of online conversations involving viewers was more than 6.6 million, leading to more than 39 gigabytes of tweets alone. After the game the conversation had only just begun: Videos uploaded with the words "Super Bowl" in the title amounted to more than 96 hours. No longer from emails, family pictures, and documents only, our digital footprints are growing in leaps and bounds. That's why Mozy helps protect what's most important to you. And make sure to check out Mozy's new file syncing feature called Stash, because whether you're a couch potato or always on the go, we all need access to the latest versions of our stuff from wherever we are!
The Past, Present, and Future of Data Storage
As we approach the end of 2011 and look forward to another year, we pause to reflect on the long history of data storage. Mankind's ability to create, process, store, and recall information is light years ahead of the days of cave paintings and engravings on stone tablets. Vast amounts of information can be stored on drives smaller than your thumb, and data centers are cropping up at an increasingly high rate.
What does the future of data storage hold? Are we really that close to holographic drives? Is 2012 the year SSDs become mainstream? Will our data continue to leap from our desktop to the cloud? One thing is for sure: people want their information stored securely and accessible whenever they want it and wherever they are. Mozy, for one, is doing its part to make that possible.
When Will We Run Out Of Space?
Space … Are we really running out of it already? Information is being created, shared and stored on computers at an explosive rate, with nearly 8 years worth of content being uploaded to YouTube every day*. It seems like yesterday when all our 8-track tapes and spring break photo albums fit on the shelf over our dresser. How ironic that now we accumulate so much more music and photos in much less physical space. But where do we keep it all? And is there a limit to the amount of available space? With more attention on how to store all our growing volume of stuff, storage options abound. It's easier and more critical now than ever to have a safe, secure, and automatic way to back up your files. Mozy is not running out of space, and the trusted leader in the online backup industry gives you peace of mind, so you know that your files will always be available when you need them.
