Hello,
I have a question regarding Figure 20 (Global data center storage capacity) in the 2016-2021 GCI, page 21:
The y-axis scale of Figure 20 seems to disagree with the text. The text indicates total installed storage capacity values of 663 EB and 2.6 ZB in 2016 and 2021, respectively. However, reading from the graph one might estimate around 900 EB and 2.3 ZB in 2016 and 2021, respectively. Would it be possible to get the Figure 20 yearly data in tabular form to avoid any misinterpretation due to this discrepancy?
Many thanks for your consideration!

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your interest in Cisco's Global Cloud Index (GCI).
Yes, somehow in the white paper rendition of the graph the y-axis has become a little off in relation to the actual numbers that are reflected in the text. Following is the data in tabular form with installed storage capacity in exabytes, as requested:
Column1 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
Compute (28% CAGR) | 154 | 196 | 259 | 322 | 413 | 534 |
Collaboration (33% CAGR) | 90 | 120 | 160 | 210 | 284 | 379 |
Database/ Analytics / IoT (31% CAGR) | 128 | 168 | 219 | 280 | 370 | 487 |
ERP and Other Business Apps (32% CAGR) | 148 | 213 | 277 | 344 | 449 | 582 |
Video Streaming (36% CAGR) | 48 | 67 | 95 | 123 | 165 | 220 |
Social Networking (37% CAGR) | 29 | 40 | 57 | 76 | 105 | 140 |

Other Consumer Apps (29% CAGR) | 43 | 56 | 74 | 94 | 123 | 156 |
Total | 664 | 891 | 1,180 | 1,496 | 1,971 | 2,574 |
