[Year 12 IT Apps] Some high powered reports , trends and technologies

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Ken

 

Thanks for the update. I do confess the site was introduced by a corporate friend so it is consistent with your evaluation.

My friend often uses it to try to settle arguments about Hyper-V vs VMWare J.

 

So the top 10 technology trends for 2014 are :

o    Mobile Device Diversity and Management 

o    Mobile Apps and Applications 

o    The Internet of Everything 

o    Hybrid Cloud and IT as Service Broker 

o    Cloud/Client 

o    The Era of Personal Cloud 

o    Software-Defined Anything 

o    Web-Scale IT 

o    Smart Machines 

o    3D Printing 

 

Fascinating …

Thanks Kevork,

 

Gartner Group are also a reasonable source of more general technology trend/prediction information. eg https://www.gartner.com/doc/2667526/top--strategic-technology-trends

 

However they do tend to be very corporate-focussed, and probably now there are more relevant  sources of trends. Oh yes, Gartner sell their data - but conveniently they are quoted a lot by others...

Hi Folks

 

Sorry for repeats of this message.

I have been browsing the Horizon Report ( final report to be published in June 2014 ) specially with the new Study Design

Some interesting reading specially looking  out the 1, 2 and 5 year windows.

III. Important Developments in K-12 Educational Technology

Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less

• BYOD

• Cloud Computing

Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years

• Games and Gamification

• Learning Analytics

Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years

• The Internet of Things

• Wearable Technology

 

Another great source of high powered technology trends is Gartner’s Magic Quadrant. If you wish to compare technologies eg. Microsoft Hyper-V vs VMware vs Parallels vs Citrix

See http://virtualization.info/en/news/2013/07/gartner-releases-its-2013-magic-quadrant-for-x86-server-virtualization-infrastructure.html 

 

Interested in secure email gateway options and not sure to go with Barracuda, Symantec , Mcafee etc see

Enjoy 

 

Kindest Regards
