Top 10 strategic technologies for 2011
- Cloud computing:
- Mobile devices:
Mobile devices are became the key player, with a surprising amount of processing ability and bandwidth. There are already hundreds of thousands of applications for platforms like the Apple iPhone, in spite of the limited market (only for the one platform) and demand rising for the unique coding system. In Gartner estimation, by the end of 2010 1.2 billion people will carry handsets capable of rich, mobile commerce providing an ideal environment for the convergence of mobility and the Web.
- Next-gen analytics:
Growing compute capabilities of computers including mobile devices along with improving connectivity are enabling a shift in how businesses support operational decisions. Possibly, it is required to run simulations or models to predict the future outcome, rather than to simply provide backward looking data about past interactions, and to do these predictions in real-time to support each individual business action. It will impact the significant changes to existing operational and business intelligence infrastructure, this existing potential helps to unlock significant improvements in business results & other successive records.
- Fabric-based infrastructure and computers:
A fabric-Based computer is a modular form of computing where a system can be aggregated from separate building-block modules connected over a fabric or switched backplane. Fabric-based computer consists of a separate processor, memory, I/O, and offload modules (GPU, NPU, etc.) that are connected to a switched interconnect and, importantly, the software required configuring and managing the resulting system. FBI helps to model abstracts physical resources – processor cores, network bandwidth and links and storage – into pools of resources that are managed by the Fabric Resource Pool Manager (FRPM), software functionality. Vending service still waited to open.
- Context-Aware computing:
Context-Aware computing is the basic concept of using information about an end user or object’s environment, activities connections and preferences to improve the quality of interaction with that end user. Aware system can foresee the user’s needs and proactively serves up the most appropriate and customized content, product or service.
- Storage Class Memory:
Gartner mentions Storage Class Memory as huge operated & well oriented consumer devices, entertainment equipment and other embedded IT systems. It offers a new layer of the storage hierarchy in servers & client computers that has key advantages in space, heat, performance and ruggedness among them. It places a new explicitly addressed layer, not part of the file system, and permits targeted placement of only the high-leverage items of information that need to experience the mix of performance and persistence available with flash memory.
- Social analytics:
Social analytics is procedural method of describing the process of measuring, analyzing and interpreting the results of interactions and associations among people, topics and ideas. Here most of classical interactions occur on social software applications used in the workplace. It is specialized analyzing technique that can be used for social filtering, social-network analysis, and sentiment analysis and social-media analytics.
It basically involves collecting data from multiple sources, identifying relationships, and evaluating the impact, quality or effectiveness of a relationship.
- Ubiquitous computing:
Ubiquitous is the third wave of computing where computers are invisibly embedded into the world. Sounds like omnipresent senses, but it actually approaches and surpasses the scale that can be managed in traditional centralized ways. Apart from traditional computing, it also provides us important guidance on what to expect with proliferating personal devices, the effect of consumers on IT decisions, and the necessary capabilities that will be driven by the pressure of rapid inflation in the number of computers for each person.
- Social communication and collaboration:
Social networking is became the demand of growing world, about one-third of world’s population connected across the social platform. Sharing & Other collaborating applications are attracting the large scale of users’ esp. youngsters. Social networking analysis (SNA) is the leading technology that employs algorithms to understand and utilize human relationships for the discovery of people and expertise. Social publishing-technologies will assist communities in pooling individual content into a usable and community accessible content repository such as YouTube and flickr.
- Video (HD/Normal):
Nothing new as such, Technology trends in digital photography, consumer electronics, the Web, social software, unified communications, digital and Internet-based television and mobile computing are all reaching critical tipping points that bring video into the mainstream. Gartner believes that video will become a humdrum content type interaction model for most users by 2013.
