With growing populations and booming economies, Asian businesses are preparing for a data explosion. Earlier this year, a study by data storage giant EMC revealed some alarming data growth rates. In the region, digital data is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 57 percent between 2006 and 2010. By 2010, the data volume for Asian businesses is projected to reach 1.8 zettabytes or 1,800 billion gigabytes. This creates a serious concern for the region's businesses because the estimated data volume will exceed the total available storage space by nearly 50 percent.

From Singapore to Vietnam, large organizations are increasing efforts to improve storage management. Companies are establishing their backup data centers in different countries to alleviate some of the enterprise risk. While large corporations are taking extra measures to secure and support their valuable and rapidly growing data, small businesses and consumers have yet to experience the "storage crunch" and are not safeguarding their data from the impending explosion.
