Video is now the fastest growing type of data in the world. According to Cisco's recent Visual Networking Index Report, “It would take an individual over 5 million years to watch the amount of video that will cross global IP networks each month in 2019. Every second, nearly a million minutes of video content will cross the network by 2019.”
A recent Gartner report seems to agree. It says that “People and organizations are inundated by video, from surveillance images to media content and home videos.”
