2013 's nine major technology trends predict big data to grow

Recently, IDC, a market research firm, surveyed four of the 2012 trends in technology trend movement, cloud computing, social networking and large data, and predicted nine major technology trends in 2013 years. IDC said that 2013 global IT spending will be as high as $2.1 trillion trillion, data centers will be replaced by new technology, mobile manufacturers will break through the status quo or live or die.

1. Global technology spending as high as $2.1 trillion in 2013

Companies are ready to adopt the latest technology, and consumers are opening their wallets to buy smartphones, tablets and apps. Overall, it spending will grow 6% per cent year-on-year.

2. Technology development in emerging countries is more rapid

Overseas emerging markets need the nourishment of technology. Latin America, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Middle East will spend 730 billion of billions of dollars on technology, an increase of 9% per cent last year. One-third of it vendor customers are from these areas.

3.2013 Some mobile manufacturers will break through the status quo

2013, the move will bring us three things:

A mini tablet with a screen less than 8 inches will be rage, accounting for 60% of the tablet market.

The smartphone and tablet market will grow by 20%.

The 2013 will be a year of breakthrough or decay for mobile platforms, and a platform that cannot attract at least 50% application developers will not survive. Apple and Google have passed the threshold, and Microsoft currently attracts only 9% of 33%,rim.

4. Large IT companies will buy small cloud computing companies

Software service models have been phased in, and over the past year, large manufacturers such as Oracle and SAP have paid 1 billion of dollars to enter the market.

IDC thinks we haven't seen anything substantial yet. It said, "in the next 20 months, the cost of the acquisition of SaaS companies will be more than 25 billion U.S. dollars, compared with the first 20 months of 17 billion dollars higher than 8 billion." ”

Some companies are too overvalued to be acquired, such as Salesforce.com, which is already on the market, with a market value of about $22 billion trillion. The unlisted box valuation has also reached $1.2 billion trillion. But most companies are eligible for acquisitions, such as Okta, Zenoss and ServiceMax.

5. Small, professional cloud will be exposed

Many new cloud technologies were born in the 2012, making it easier and simpler for people to build cloud services. This means that in 2013, there will be a large number of new cloud technology services for specific industries. Such as: hospitals, construction companies, banks and so on.

6. Everyone will be an IT person

People who are not engaged in it work are also contributing to technology companies, such as their mobile devices, file-sharing cloud services and social applications. Some call this the Dropbox effect. Box, Asana and Yammer also established their own business model in this area. IDC says the 2013-year business model will make a profit, with some non-it business managers buying 80% of new technology products for their teams.

7. Larger data will grow

As in the 2012, mobile devices and cloud services became essential for every business. More users will be using large data in 2013. The big data market will grow at a rate of 40% a year, IDC said. 2012 Big Data market size of about 5 billion U.S. dollars, 2013 will double, 2017 will reach 53 billion U.S. dollars.

8. The end of the data centre

The new data center technology in the 2012 is entrenched and will grow again in 2013. These include "converged systems", where computing, storage, networking, and software purchased by a company are bundled onto a single device. Another is the software definition network, which is a new way to build a network. These are great opportunities for Cisco, Dell, HP and Oracle, but at the same time there are risks.

9. Office computer will be your brain ID

The bring-your-own-device trend, also known as BYOD, will evolve into Byid (Bring-your-own-id). That is, you can use your office computer anywhere, on any device, simply by logging in correctly.
