Do you know what happens in one minute on the Internet? In just
one minute, more than 204 million emails are sent. Amazon rings up about
$83,000 in sales. Around 20 million photos are viewed and 3,000 uploaded on
Flickr. At least 6 million Facebook pages are viewed around the world. And more
than 61,000 hours of music are played on Pandora while more than 1.3 million
video clips are watched on YouTube.
Computing is transforming and touching more people in a wider
range of devices. From smartphones to tablets, netbooks and notebooks and even
automotive; it can often seem like every one of us is connected. But while it’s
hard to miss the proliferation of portable devices, it’s what we don’t see
that’s the bigger issue.
What many don’t see is that the increase in mobile devices has had
a tremendous impact on the amount of data traffic crossing the network. It’s a
little easier to comprehend once we think about all that’s done on a connected
device like a smartphone. Listening to music, watching videos, downloading
photos, playing online games, refreshing Twitter feeds and status updates – all
of those activities generate network traffic. Following is an infographic
illustrates just how much data passes through the network in 60 seconds. Nearly
640K Gb of global IP data is transferred in just one Internet minute!
Today, the number of networked devices equals the world’s
population. By 2015, the number of networked devices is expected to be double
the world’s population. And by the time we reach 2015, it would take five years
to view all the video content crossing IP networks each second.
So can our existing networks handle this explosion in network
traffic and maintain consumer expectations for immediate access from multiple
devices? And if the networks can expand to accommodate this growth, can they do
it while maintaining security? Telco equipment manufacturers and service
providers will be on the hook to ensure that we continue to enjoy access to
information and entertainment on our mobile without any interruption to service.
Intel is working with equipment managers and service providers to
help them do just that. Just recently, Intel announced its next-generation
communications platform, code named “Crystal Forest,” that will boost
performance and beef up network security to handle the increasing network
traffic. By enabling equipment manufacturers and services providers to deliver
platforms that grow along with the network, Intel is also enabling consumers to
stay connected on intelligent devices every Internet minute of the day.
