On end of last year, Gartner published the report, that top 10 technologies and trends for most organizations in 2011. David Cearley, vice president at Gartner said: companies should factor these top 10 technologies in their strategic planning process by asking key questions and making deliberate decisions about them during the next 2 years.
The top 10 strategic technologies for 2011 include:
1. Cloud Computing. Cloud computing services exist along a spectrum from open public to closed private. Vendors will offer packaged private cloud implementations that deliver the vendor's public cloud service technologies and methodologies in a form that can be implemented inside the consumer's enterprise.
2. Mobile Applications and Media Tablets. Mobile devices are becoming computers in their own right, with an astounding amount of processing ability and bandwidth.
3. Social Communications and Collaboration. Social media can be divided into: (1) Social networking —MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn and Friendster (2) Social collaboration —wikis, blogs, instant messaging, collaborative office, and crowd sourcing (3)Social publishing —YouTube and flickr (4) Social feedback -YouTube, flickr, Digg, Del.icio.us, and Amazon.
4. Video. 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.
5. Next Generation Analytics. Increasing compute capabilities of computers including mobile devices along with improving connectivity are enabling a shift in how businesses support operational decisions. It is becoming possible 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.
6. Social Analytics. Social analytics describes the process of measuring, analyzing and interpreting the results of interactions and associations among people, topics and ideas.
7. Context-Aware Computing. Context-aware computing centers on the 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. The end user may be a customer, business partner or employee.
8. Storage Class Memory. Gartner sees huge use of flash memory in consumer devices, entertainment equipment and other embedded IT systems. It also offers a new layer of the storage hierarchy in servers and client computers that has key advantages — space, heat, performance and ruggedness among them.
9. Ubiquitous Computing. The work of Mark Weiser and other researchers at Xerox's PARC paints a picture of the coming third wave of computing where computers are invisibly embedded into the world. As computers proliferate and as everyday objects are given the ability to communicate with RFID tags and their successors, networks will approach and surpass the scale that can be managed in traditional centralized ways.
10. 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.
Nice Article on technologies.
ReplyDeleteYou are right in 2011 cloud computing is one of the focused technologies. It is helpful to sectors, private as well as public. It is not easy to monitor the performance of cloud computing but by measuring the cloud computing performance, you can increase the efficiency in transaction and deliver the high productivity.
Thanks for sharing such insightful information.
Its really a great post.The online affiliate marketing allows you to make a lot of money fast particularly if the products you sell are expensive, branded and much sought after.
