Dot Hill’s US Army contract reported by Byte and Switch points to a big increase in data collected and exploited by the military over the next few years. A key driver will be integration of surveillance data into battlefield and strategic decision making.

- Higher resolution video analytics can up that to 44 terabytes.
- Most casinos use a lot more than sixteen cameras.
