(VLBI) has 16 telescopes, each of which
produces 1 Gigabit/second of astronomical
data over a 25-day observation session
storage and analysis a big problem
Growth Trends
Moores law
Computer Speed doubles every
18 months
Storage law
total storage doubles every 9
months
Consequence
very little data will ever be looked
