Next year's technology: mobile apps, cloud computing and new security

Lead: Science and technology information website Computerworld UK Sunday published the Rio Kim (Leo King) article. The article argues that the application of the Internet (app Internet) and mobile electronics will spawn the rapid development of mobile applications, cloud computing and new security technologies in the 2012.

The following is an overview of the article:

The rise of the application Internet will revolutionize consumer demand for technology products in the 2012.

What is the application Internet? The definition is roughly that people can use the Web or cloud resources to smooth the application on PCs, smartphones, and tablets.

Technology experts say mobile apps, cloud computing and new security threats will force 2012 years of technological development to change dramatically.

Mobile applications

The web, which dominates the internet's software architecture, has died, and the application-led new internet is emerging and putting pressure on the science and technology that underpins it, according to the market research firm Forrester (Weibo).

The app Internet will open the next generation operation model, Forrester said. The rapid growth of personal electronic products will be the driving force behind the strategic changes in mobile platforms.

In response to this change, Forrester says, a flexible application platform will emerge. With the development of virtualization technology, business will further promote the rise of private Cloud (clouds).

In addition, Forrester added, business leaders are also working hard and are always ready to develop existing networks to meet consumer demands.

Cloud

Gartner, a market research firm, says Low-cost Cloud services will show rapid growth and contribute 15% of its total revenue to top outsourcing companies over the next three years. In addition, this kind of industrialized service will change people to the IT industry price and value of the established understanding.

The global market value of cloud services will reach $36 billion trillion in 2012, according to IDC, a market research firm.

IDC says 8% of new apps target cloud technology. Amazon has joined the 1 billion-dollar seller's club, which will compete head-on with Google, IBM, Microsoft (Weibo), Oracle (Weibo), Salesforce.com and VMware.

Although financial analysts are pessimistic about the future of the world economy, according to IDC statistics, 2012 IT industry investment will increase by 6.9%, and its important impetus is from mobile electronics.

Next year will be a decisive year for major tech companies vying for the commanding heights of the IT industry. For Microsoft, RIM and HP's mobile electronics, next year is a critical moment for success, because the success of manufacturers depends heavily on tablets such as Windows 8 and BBX, IDC said.

The US investment firm CCS Insight analyst predicts that RIM will restructure its business model, service and hardware, in two ways. Both will play a key role in RIM's success or failure.

Meanwhile, Gartner predicts that bubble-style investment in social software companies will continue to expand next year until the bubble bursts in 2014. This is because there are so many repeated investments.

As the data scale of enterprise consumption is increasing, its analysis requirement needs to be upgraded correspondingly. IDC predicts a large number of large data-maker mergers and acquisitions next year will focus on "visual discovery, predictive analysis, and Hadoop analysis".

New security threats

Software tester SQS Group says the change in IT industry will require higher requirements for software analysis and real-time inspection, as well as a good opportunity for the development of the industry.

Analysts say the growing sophistication of business science and technology will promote the development of security technologies.

Qualys, an information security company, said cloud computing would lift the security level of mobile services to a whole new phase. Cyber criminals have shown that the development of mobile electronics will be a simple way to invade the company's network.

However, while the maturity and security of many cloud services are improving, the development of cloud services next year will make existing security technologies difficult to cope with and may cause problems beyond imagination.

Gartner says the maturity of cloud technology means more robust security evidence is needed. By 2016, 40% of commercial cloud services will have independent security testing prior to use.

The new era of social networking will redefine the boundaries of privacy, says Trend Micro, the world's top security software maker Trend technology. In the near future, privacy-conscious individuals will be the ideal target for attackers.

In addition, people using their own electronic products to enter the company's data can have serious security problems. Smartphones and tablet platforms, especially Android, will be hit by more cyber criminals.

Validsoft, a provider of network payment solutions, says the risk of being attacked next year is rising after a 2011-year boom in mobile payment models.
