2014:NFV and SDN deployments accelerate, cloud computing develops rapidly, big data is not yet in control

There were a lot of events in the Annals of the 2013, such as American scientists using http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33738.html ">3d printer to produce the first body organ that grew up in the laboratory, Professor Peter Higgs, who was involved in the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN, won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and Microsoft's new Xbox One console sold 1 million units a day for its unmatched gaming and interactive user experience.

Whether it's scientific research or entertainment, these feats show how reliant we are on technology in our daily lives, especially as it networks that carry the weight of world data transport have a profound impact on everyone on earth. 2013 highlights the importance of technology, then 3721.html ">2014 years what is waiting for us?"

Mr. Lu Shaowen, general manager of Boko Greater China, has predicted 2014 years of noteworthy technical trends:

1 network function virtualization and software definition "Everything" will make great progress: globally, especially in Asia Pacific and Japan, Network functional Virtualization (NFV) and software definition technologies (networks, virtualization, data centers, storage, and infrastructure) will go out of the research labs; These technologies will begin to be deployed in a production environment. As more and more cases are used, we will see larger deployments. Through projects such as OpenStack and Opendaylight, the industry is moving towards more open, flexible, efficient, highly programmable, and highly resilient network infrastructure solutions to promote innovative technologies that are conducive to enterprise development. At the same time, we expect NFV to be more important. Because NFV truly implements cloud hosting services, dramatically reducing costs and improving service agility, this will bring new revenue opportunities to operators. A comprehensive SDN deployment may be premature, but the key decision-making criterion for infrastructure is how this infrastructure supports SDN forward. Open architecture will be the key.

2 Data center and Cloud Architecture Slimming Program: Technological breakthroughs force us to fundamentally rethink how to structure, design, deploy, and operate data center networks. The network is of unprecedented importance to delivery applications, and we believe that matrices will play an important role in accelerating the transition by dramatically increasing network efficiency, utilization, and performance. Data explosions have resulted in the end of the traditional three-tier network. Gartner predicts that by 2014, 80% of the network traffic will be traffic between servers. We expect to see companies continue to focus on flattening the network to achieve stronger, more resilient networks while ensuring that network capacity is scaled up as needed without disruption. The 40-Year-old Ethernet will continue to drive the cyber revolution.

3 The rapid development of cloud computing: According to Gartner, more personalized cloud technology will cause the cloud to turn to services and away from the device. In addition, 451 Research predicts that the global cloud computing market will maintain a 36% annual compound growth rate by 2016 and reach $19.5 billion trillion in 2016, indicating that CIOs are aware of new business models, consumption patterns, user expectations, security, and privacy protections associated with the cloud, And look forward to using cloud computing to promote enterprise growth and innovation. 2014, we expect the cloud to develop into a key business driver. As the private cloud matures, the demand for the elasticity of the public cloud will grow.

4 The Internet revolution continues: the inventor of the Ethernet Robert Metcalfe says the power of the network grows by the square of the number of nodes it connects to. According to IDC forecasts, the entire Internet market, including technology and services, will reach $8.9 trillion trillion in 2020 and the number of networked devices will reach 212 billion, which will change the network forever. While concerns about device security and interoperability persist, the Internet is about to bring a revolution in the medical, retail and transportation sectors and gain a foothold in 2014. Businesses need to begin to examine what impact the Internet of things will have on their business.

5 large data is not yet in control: BYOD and data explosions (especially video content) pose many challenges, because the volume of data is too large to handle, including how to derive value from it and develop strategies. Companies will return to basics in 2014 and answer the most fundamental data center infrastructure issues when dealing with unprecedented volumes of data-what are the goals? Are we collecting the right data? How do you use data to achieve business change? Businesses that cannot properly address these problems will struggle in the next 12 months. In addition, we expect to see one or two examples of network shutdowns due to data overload.
