Digital archive capacity will increase nearly tenfold between 2005 and 2010. Spurred on by regulatory compliance, corporate governance, litigation support, records management, and data management, total worldwide digital archive capacity in commercial and government sectors will grow to more than 27,000 petabytes - or 27 exabytes - by 2010. (Quote by Enterprise Strategy Group) Unstructured content - such as office documents, web pages, digital images, and audio and video files - will continue to constitute the bulk of archived digital assess for the foreseeable future, although semi-structured (i.e. e-mail) and structured (i.e. database) will grow at a faster rate over the next 5 years.
