How big? Estimates from everyone from Gartner to the US Government foresee a 100X time increase — then a 1,000X increase — in Web traffic over the next few years. The world will need hundreds of billions of dollars of new servers, memory, storage, and data centers. The challenge to software developers will be increasing as never before…
