2015 Top Ten IT trends forecast: The Internet of things will continue to expand

October 8 News, according to foreign media reports, market research company Gartner's IT team of experts recently released the 2015 Ten it trend forecasts, including computing everywhere, the internet of Things, 3D printing and so on. Gartner believes that these strategic technological trends could have a significant impact on businesses over the next 3 years. Here's a summary of them: 1. Computing is everywhere Gartner estimates that as smartphone technology continues to rise, companies will focus more on meeting the needs of mobile users in a variety of contexts and environments than just focusing on devices. Gartner argues that smartphones and wearable devices are part of the deployment campaign for computing devices that lay out networking screens in workplaces and public places. User experience design will be critical. 2. The Internet of Things (IoT), driven by a ubiquitous user-oriented computing device, will continue to expand. Gartner predicts that this will happen in both the industrial and operational environments, and will be the focus of digital commercial products and processes. Embedding technology more deeply will bring users everywhere. This will form the basis of digital commerce. 3. The cost of 3D print 3D printing will drop in the next 3 years, prompting a rapid expansion of the low price 3D printer market. Its industrial use will also continue to expand. Gartner stressed that the expansion of such technologies is particularly prominent in industrial, biomedical and consumer applications, highlighting the real existence of this trend, proving that 3D printing is a viable and cost-effective way to reduce costs by improving design, simplifying prototyping and short-term manufacturing. 4. Invisible Advanced Data analysis permeates the trend of embedded devices due to networking and sustainable development, data analysis technology will continue to improve. There will still be a large amount of structured and unstructured data in the future organization structure. Gartner points out that each application needs to be an analytical application. It also concludes that big questions and big answers are more important than big data itself. 5. The pervasive embedded intelligence that is associated with an environment-aware system that is accompanied by penetrating analysis techniques will facilitate the development of systems that are alert and responsive to the environment around them. Gartner stresses that environmental-aware security is an early application of this trend, and that other applications will come in the future. 6. The combination of Intelligent machine data analysis technology and environmental awareness technology will generate intelligent machines. Advanced algorithms will generate systems that can learn and act on their own. The machine assistant will continue to evolve on the basis of current unmanned vehicle prototypes, advanced robots, virtual personal assistants and intelligent consultants, Gartner said. It also predicts that the era of intelligent machines will be the most disruptive of all time in it history. 7. Cloud/Client Architecture mobile Computing and cloud computing will continue to converge, triggering the development of centrally-coordinated applications that deliver to any device. Gartner points out that cloud computing is the basis for flexible extensions and self-service computing capabilities for applications, whether they are internal or outward oriented. Applications that effectively use smart and client device storage will benefitTo reduce bandwidth costs, coordination and management will be based on the cloud. Gartner also notes that over time, applications evolve to the point where multiple devices are being used at the same time. In the future, game classes and enterprise-class applications will use multiple screens and use wearable devices and other devices to provide a better experience. 8. Software-defined infrastructure and agile development methodologies that apply everything from basic infrastructure functionality to applications are essential to the flexibility that enterprises need to provide the efficient operation of digital commerce. Software-defined networking, storage, data centers, and security technologies are maturing. The application interface (API) calls the cloud service software to become configurable, and applications have a rich API to access their functionality and content. Gartner argues that the need to deal with the ever-changing needs of digital commerce requires computing from static to dynamic mode. 9. Web size Itgartner points out that more companies will think, act and build applications and infrastructure in the way of technology giants like Amazon, Google and Facebook. As commercial hardware platforms embrace the new paradigm, cloud optimization and software definition approaches become mainstream, and businesses will tend to web-scale it. Gartner points out that a combination of coordinated development and operations is the first step in web-scale it. 10. risk-based Security and self-protection technology Gartner concludes that security will remain an important consideration during the evolution of the digital future, but that the technology should not be too harsh or that progress will be suppressed. Since many businesses are aware that 100% of security solutions are not achievable, risk-based security and self-protection technologies will become more mainstream, and more advanced risk assessment and risk mitigation approaches will be implemented at the process and tool levels in the future. Gartner points out that the perimeter defense system will be widely regarded as an unworkable technology as the advent of multiple-faceted solutions. Security knowledge application design, dynamic and static application safety testing, runtime application of self protection, and active environmental awareness and adaptive access control will all be essential.
