Top Tech Trends 2016

   In my role technology distribution can it’s important to love five years out to see what industry is headed in the long term but much of my attention is focused on the near future identifying the technology and trends that are ready to be put to use a tablet over the next 12 months. With that in mind her for the top IT trends that I believe a poised to gain real traction in 2016.

   My number for trend is the software-defined data center. From the beginning data centers will be made up of silos of servers storage and networking hard way but that model is redundant and expensive and it makes it difficult to allocate resources quickly. That’s a problem for IT teams that are feeling pressure to improve responsiveness and decrease maintenance costs. In a software-defined data center all the essential elements of a computing platform a pool together virtualized and managed to a common set of application programming interfaces. With all of the data centers resources pulled together it’s easier and faster to monitor and reallocate computer storage network in and even security resources according to the needs of the business.

    Production-ready software-defined data center offerings and now available from established vendors vendors as well as from new cameras and I tea shops are looking for safe and proven ways to movie to a software-defined-environment. That delivers the stability and the agility that their businesses require. My number three top trend is what I call a mobile first approach until now most mobility initiatives will focus on providing mobile devices with the same access and security that we find on desktop and laptop PCs. The mobile versus approach turns out world view on its head.

   It’s not about matching the PC experience and a small device anymore. It’s about getting the most of the unique advantages that mobile platforms have to offer. Such as the ability to easily capture pictures documents and also knowing the precise location of device as mobile devices get more convenient security with a broader adoption of biometrics.

   I expect more businesses will be thinking mobile-first in 2016 for both customers and employees. My second top IT- tried 4 2016 is machine learning. I see machine learning is a logical evolution of the exponential growth of data and data analytics. That we’ve been seen over the last few year big data and data analytics today are mostly concerned with mine in large quantities of data to provide insights that leaders can use to make informed decisions with speed.

   However those results of focus on helping business leaders interpret past activity. A machine learning on the other hand is about using the same data sets to predict future behavior. Today Google, Facebook and Amazon or relying on machine learning to deliver content ads and products that use your past activity to predict what you’ll be interested in next IBM’s Watson initiative extends its significant machine learning capabilities to IBM customers.

   A machine learning is also at the heart of Google’s efforts to develop self-driving vehicles. As the engineers at Google will tell you it’s easier to drive a car when you can predict what’s around the corner rather than having to focus on the road behind you and running the businesses is no different. That’s why I believe machine learning will be one of this year’s top trends to gain traction as organizations like to predict the future as well as they can analyze the past.

   My top IT trends for 2016 is the internet of things specifically the industrial Internet of things. One study from the mckinsey global institute estimates that IOT will deliver up to 11 trillion dollars of global economic impact on an annual basis just 10 years from now and a significant proportion of that was going to be made up the industrial IOT.

  For example, one of a minute industrial equipment customers has begun in bed in connected sensors into the field based equipment. This gives our customers the ability to let maintenance teams know when a component is about to break down but before it actually happens. This happens this simple warning helps avoid costly downtime and emergency repairs. It also ensures that the service technicians have exactly the right parts they need when than arrive on site.

   2016 will be the year the IOT hits critical mass. The opportunity is simply too large for that but the building blocks for the ecosystem and now in place. Making it easier faster and less expensive to prototype and roll out real world IOT solutions. That’s why it’s my number-one trend for 2016. To find out how these and other top technology trends are being applied inside the enterprise in the year to come.
