Yahoo Breakout: Data Explosion Underway! Buy “Big Data” Storage Stocks: Brown

  • Josh Brown going with big data.  People spending money on it.
  • Don't understand extent of data and its uses
  • Data mining? Now a terrific thing called data basing.
  • CPU prices plummeted as well as bandwidth
  • in 2008, 180 exobytes, by 2020 by 35000 exobytes- exponential growth - mindblowing
  • freebies, commoditization, being paid for by Apple- not that expensive to add storage
  • why we are able to create data- every trans is store \ yikes
  • Biggest customer is Facebook; flash storage- non volatile memory- likes speed of recall, info has to come from somewhere, from flash storage is faster
  • EMC; at one point is storing data is bad cause of hacking?  no 100 percent security
  • best is outside vendor who's job it is do that ; EMC doing well; gotten on software side, benefit of rising tide- rattled off some names NTAP (  I think was one)
Privacy issues, anyone?
