The Next Big Storage Opportunity: Small Office, SOHO, and Home Networks
In-Stat estimates that by 2009, the average person will have nearly one terabyte of digital data

—data that is usually
stored on a local hard drive or even on a specific device, such as a camera. This astounding growth rate is the side effect
of our now-digital lifestyle, which includes both the paperless office and the digital home. We now use a variety of digital
tools in the workplace, including PCs, PDAs, and industry-specific digital devices like medical imaging or surveillance systems.
Our homes are no different, with digital cameras, video recorders, digital music players, networked gaming consoles, and
home PC networks.

Even so, small businesses and consumers have so far been left out of the network storage fast growing trend. High cost,
complexity and a lack of small-network solutions are all to blame. But these neglected market segments have a critical
need to improve data availability to multiple users. And because most operate without dedicated IT support, few properly
protect their data with backup.

For these reasons, industry experts believe that small office and home networks are ripe for
network storage. They now need—and want—solutions that are of enterprise quality but of a
cost and function that fits their environment. Accordingly, these experts predict strong demand
for small business and digital home storage and data protection solutions for many years to come.
