20,130 Big Science and technology strategic trend: consumer Cloud competition intensifies

Recently, Gartner, a market research institute, published the report "10 Key technology trends for the next five years (unacknowledged tech trends for the next Hep Perton)".

In addition, Gartner provides a more detailed report, "The 2013 10 Technology strategic trends (top strategic Marvell Trends for 2013)". This article will make a simple introduction to these 10 aspects.

1. Mobile device battle

The user experience on mobile devices has eclipsed desktop devices. Consumption (consumerization) has allowed tablet computers to enter the corporate market. Cloud computing and mobile computing are interacting with each other, making the trend more pronounced and equipment being upgraded faster. In 2013, mobile devices will surpass PCs and become the most widely used internet access device for human use. By 2015, more than 80% of handheld devices will be smartphones in the mature market, with 20% of smartphones running the Windows Phone operating system. On the other hand, tablets will be shipped in half by 2015, with Windows 8 tablet computers ranked third in shipments, with the top two being Apple and Android respectively. Microsoft's share of the client platform will fall to 60%, or even below 50%. In the smartphone world, Windows will overtake rim as the third-largest company, with shipments likely to be as many as Apple in 2015. Windows 8 is likely to become a "relatively small" product, and basically only business users will be interested.

2. Mobile Apps and HTML 5

Throughout the 2014, JavaScript performance will make HTML5 and browsers a mainstream platform for application developers. As HTML5 is more and more compatible with browsers, the transition from local application to HTML5 will be a big trend for developers. However, local applications do not exit the stage, and their experience is best.

3. Personal Cloud

Cloud computing will be the center of Digital Life for hosting applications, content, and parameter settings. It makes it possible for synchronization between devices. Services become more important, and devices become less important.

4. Internet of Things

The internet of Things is not a new thing. At present, half of the Internet traffic is generated by IoT. In 2011, there were more than 15 billion entity objects on the Internet, with more than 50 billion connections. By 2020, there will be 30 billion entity objects, and the number of connections will be more than 200 billion. Key technologies include: embedded sensors, graphic recognition and NFC technology. By 2015, in more than 70% of companies, one executive would be able to monitor all Internet connection entities. The internet will be truly ubiquitous by then.

5. Hybrid IT and cloud computing

The role of it is changing a lot. IT departments will need to do more work to adapt to it-related tasks.

6. Large Data strategy

In the future, enterprises will need to focus on non-traditional data types and external data sources. Hadoop and NoSQL are becoming the darling of the market. The relationship between big data and social networks will become more and more intense. The largest large data sources on the Internet include: social maps, intent maps, consumption maps, interest maps and mobile maps. A single enterprise Data warehouse is obsolete. Many systems need to be connected together.

7. Feasibility Analysis

Cloud computing, analytics and large data will be rapidly developed in 2013 and 2014, and are now applied to all aspects of business. Mobile devices will access data more frequently, making it easier for people to make business decisions.

8. In-memory computing will become mainstream

The idea, design, and architecture of it will change a lot in the future. This can greatly improve the system performance, shorten the response time, and make the real-time self-service business intelligence possible. From 2012 to 2013, with in-memory computing, SAP and other companies will be able to deliver applications faster.

9. Integrated ecosystems

The combination of software and services will enable people to better deal with the problem of infrastructure or application traffic. Equipment shipments will be larger, the software will be shipped with the hardware. New trend: Virtual devices will be favored by the market in the next 5 years.

10. Enterprise Application Store

By 2014, the App store will have more than 70 billion downloads per year of mobile applications. Also in this year, most businesses will provide mobile app downloads to employees through the in-house app store.
