Top 10 Technology Trends

Gartner is great in predict the trends in technology since 2007. It is not an easy task

Gartner defines a strategic technology trend as one with the potential for significant impact on organizations in the next three years. So Gartner analysts suggest some top 10 technology trends.

1- Computing Everywhere:

As mobile devices continue to proliferate, Gartner predicts an increased emphasis on serving the needs of the mobile user in diverse contexts and environments, as opposed to focusing on devices alone, leading to further management challenges. a positive trend to generate more data and its exploitation.

2- The Internet of Things (IOT):

Trends in IOT are increasing rapidly every year. The scope of internet of things (IOT) is much more in future. Digital business processes and products focus will be on internet of things. Gartner has identified four basic usage models: Manage, Monetise, Operate and Extend. Enterprises should not limit themselves to thinking that only IoT has the potential to leverage these four models. For example, the pay-per-use model can be applied to assets (such as industrial equipment), services (such as pay-as-you-drive insurance), people (such as movers), places (such as parking spots) and systems (such as cloud services).

3- 3D Printing:

3D Printing is yet another one in latest technology trends. Everyone is expecting the growth of 3D printing in an incredible rate in the near future. Business section must be alert on 3D printing trends as the impact of 3D printing on their product and cost will be great. Worldwide shipments of 3D printers are expected to grow 98% in 2015, followed by a doubling of unit shipments in 2016. 3D printing will reach a tipping point over the next three years as the market for relatively low-cost 3D printing devices continues to grow rapidly and industrial use expands significantly.

4- Advanced, Pervasive and Invisible Analytics:

Embedded system growth by IOT will insure the need of more data analysis. As the data stream will increase in the latest technology trends, more advanced top analytics is needed to process these data’s. So IT trends will be more focusing on creating data reservoirs and processing them. From the analytics trend we are able to give right information to the right user at right time.

5- Context-Rich Systems:

Embedded intelligence combined with analytics will drive the development of systems that are aware of their surroundings and able to respond appropriately. Security alert trends will be more in these systems. By understanding the user request context, application can adjust security response; adjust how info is delivered to the customers by simplifying a complex computing.

6- Smart Machines:

Smart machine trends in this latest word are increasing to reduce the human effort, cost of production, increase efficiency and speed etc. Smart machine is deep context-driven analytics combined with advanced algorithms will allow systems to understand their environment, learn for themselves, and act autonomously. Prototype autonomous vehicles, advanced robots, virtual personal assistants and smart advisors already exist and will evolve rapidly.

7- Cloud Computing:

Next technology trend cloud or client computing helps in intelligent data storage to reduce the bandwidth cost. Latest technology trends favors top cloud computing platforms.

8- Software-Defined Applications and Infrastructure:

Physical hardware controlled network don’t have much flexibility. So software controlled data centres, storages, security and network needed to make it possible. To deal with the rapidly changing demands of digital business, computing has to move away from static to dynamic models. Rules, models and code that can dynamically assemble and configure all of the elements needed from the network through the application are needed.

9- Web-scale IT:

Trends of Web-scale IT is almost same as last year. Web-scale IT is a pattern of global-class computing that delivers the capabilities of large cloud service providers within an enterprise IT setting. More organizations will begin thinking, acting and building applications and infrastructure like Web giants such as Amazon, Google and Facebook.

10- Risk-Based Security and Self-protection:

Last one in the top 10 latest technology trends of 2015 is Risk-Based Security and Self-protection. Challenge in the latest digital technology growth is providing complete security. It is not possible to provide 100% security top risk factor is always there. And perimeters and firewalls are no longer enough; every app needs to be self-aware and self-protecting. So self-protection is an important factor in every application. Security assessment and risk management is needed to provide a minimum level of security in this latest technology world.
