The Internet tilts the tables in favor of digital processing power, bandwidth and software products that scale.

FORBES: Digital rules

With ever-greater precision (processing speed) and transportability (bandwidth), the triumph of digital was complete.

FORBES: Computing Desire

Red Storm is a high-bandwidth, massively parallel processing supercomputing package, priced much lower than its flagship Cray X1 system, which it sells mostly to the government and military.

Put simply, this means creating pools of processing power, storage capacity and network bandwidth.

ECONOMIST: Moving up the stack

Numerous digital data sources are becoming available because of a combination of increasing data storage, data processing and data transmission productivity (effective available bandwidth appears to double approximately every 21 months).

FORBES: Three Ways To Make Big Data Make Money

Limited bandwidth can jam up traffic, forcing some slices of processing to wait in long queues.

FORBES: Sharing Power

Incremental quantitative advances in bandwidth, video frames per second, cloud based storage and processing and other technologies have reached a tipping point, with qualitatively new opportunities for learning now emerging.

FORBES: A New Kind of Distance Learning

Storage is evolving faster than processing--doubling every 12 months versus silicon's every 18 months--and bandwidth is zooming fastest of all.
