IDC has measured the size of the "digital universe" -- all the digital data stored globally -- and it is 10 percent bigger than first predicted and will be 10 times bigger again by 2011.
Data is the rising star of mobile communications according to an analyst's review of Australian telecom service providers' performance.
While IT executives can see the benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach, minimal budgets and a lack of mature technology are holding back adoption, according to the research house.
The number of Australian mobile phone users is expected to hit 17.2 million by 2007, up nearly 2.5 million from end-2003, according to analyst group International Data Corp.
IDC's "crystal ball" has revealed that a 3 percent growth is expected for the next operating period for the IT markets.

How can Australian businesses configure backup software so that it reduces rather than increases workloads, and perhaps even provides some return on investment in the process?
