As 2014 draws to a close, it is time to look at the trajectory of the High-tech industry and forecast its development in the new Year.
Market Research Institute Gartner, IEEE Computer Society and MIT experts say the High-tech trend is particularly hot in 2014 and will remain hot in 2015.
Through the selection of information, we have come up with a list of 9 technology industries that are thought to continue to develop rapidly in the 2015.
9, 3D Printing
3D Printing will usher in a breakthrough in 2015, which will make this form of manufacturing attractive to almost any business. According to MIT information, this breakthrough technology is micro-size 3D printing.
This means that "inks" made from different materials can be loaded into the 3D printer, allowing them to print out a large size object.
8. Commercial Wearable equipment
In 2015, wearable equipment will begin to infiltrate the workplace slowly. Smart watches will make it unnecessary for employees to stare at their phones.
The Wellness wrist strap facility will encourage employees to participate in group fitness classes. The company will also begin testing custom applications on smart glasses, such as maintenance guides, video conferencing, training videos, and more.
The human resources software company Kronos and the Labour Institute recently surveyed 9000 people worldwide and found that 73% said they believed wearable devices would help in their work.
7, Highly confidential equipment
Computer security has entered a new phase. Passwords will still not die in 2015, but our devices are becoming more secure and private. More devices will be fitted with fingerprint sensors.
Although the hacker profession will still exist, your office software will be embedded in a security layer (similar to sandbox). So, when hackers attack an application, other applications will monitor and enable self-protection. Hackers will only get limited information and will not get data stored in other applications.
"Every application is self-aware and self-protection," Gartner says. ”
6, Devops
IT departments used to work in stages. They will first write a new application in the test machine, only when the application is perfect, they will formally launch the application, so that the application will not crash.
But the IT department wants to work like Facebook, and they want users to be able to participate in testing and validate new features and collect the data they want through the user's use of the current network. This allows them to make changes quickly.
This trend is called "Devops", which blends "development" and "Operation" together. DevOps requires IT departments to buy a lot of new technology and change the way they do things.
5. Data center defined by software
Today, if a company wants to make a big change after its network switch or storage device is deployed, it can be a daunting task.
The new trend is to add software to the top level of these devices and control everything with software. This allows these companies to easily modify and transfer these devices.
Software-defined networks and storage devices can make digital business work more flexible when delivered.
4, Cloud
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has given the term "mobility (adroit)" A new definition, which no longer means that you take a tablet or smartphone while you're out.
This new definition means that your "identity" is stored in the cloud, and as you pass between different devices and devices, between the network and the network. As long as there is a network, information related to yourself can be accessed anytime and anywhere.
Microsoft is one of many companies that are implementing the idea. This will create a new generation of Office applications that will not only store data locally, but also allow you to work with co-workers.
3, intelligent data
Everyone has got a lot of data, sometimes called Big data. The focus in 2015 will no longer be to collect and store data at low cost, but rather to shift to the question of how that data can be exploited.
In today's competitive environment, the business manager is the one who needs this data most in the company.
With this data, you can answer a simple question raised by a senior executive: "Why didn't sales reach the expectations of last month?" "They can respond to this problem with data such as charts, graphs, details and their reasons."
2. Intelligent machine
The industry is now arguing about what the next-generation networked device is called: "Internet of Things", "Internet of Modifiable", "web of Things".
But it's not all about the Internet, it's about having sensors and chips for everyday items that suddenly become smart. It also involves providing some behavioral monitoring capabilities for applications that are already in use, and making applications smarter.
For example, your Office application will understand your work style and habits and automatically display the corresponding data in front of you when you need to view the data.
1. Cloud Computing
In the past few years, companies have been slowly moving from buying software and hardware, and they are starting to rent the appropriate hardware and software from others, and deploy them to the appropriate locations as needed, which only pay for the products they actually use. This is cloud computing.
By the end of 2014, the trend in cloud computing had shifted from a trickle to a stream. In 2015 years it will grow further and become a waterfall.
IDC predicts that all companies in the world will spend 56.6 billion dollars in the cloud in 2014, and the cloud computing market is growing 22% per cent a year, 6 times times faster than the overall IT industry. By 2018, global spending on the cloud could be as high as $127 billion trillion.
