10 Must-Watch Futuristic IT Trends
The recent development with new and revolutionary technologies has led the world ofenterprise IT to undergo resurgence. The faster cell phone technology, cloud computing,
social media-networking technology, big data, BYOD, and SaaS are few technologiesbringing this change. These evolutions are largely happening despite the controls that the
IT normally places on the use of technologies.
Analyst David Cappuccio stated that IT was forced to support tablets, and end users
forced them to support IM and wireless networks a few years ago.
And more such technologies are on the horizon," he added.
The following list is taken from Cappuccios report, enclosed with 10 futuristic game-
changing forces in IT.
#1 Disruption:
Organizations need to increase the development of IT service skills and attributes with
appropriate investments in every sector. Business-user satisfaction can be a moving
target, but enabling higher levels of productivity at the IT service desk level demonstratesthat the IT organization cares about the business, and that it's committed to ensuring that
users meet their goals and objectives.
These users expect the same level of IT performance and support as they experience withconsumer-based applications and services.
Although most the focus still revolves around traditional training, procedures, securityaccess, knowledge management and scripts, its pretty clear that the next gen skills will
pave the payment for the expectations of the business more efficiently.

#2 Software Defined Networks:
Software Defined Networks (SDN) abstracts the system so that it can transform the
network topology from box/port at a time configuration to flow at a time, linked toapplication. Companies use SDN to get an overall topology of the networks within the
system, both internal and external. A SDN controller mainly comprises of switches,
firewalls and ADCs. These components provide the abstracted view to provisioning and
managing the network connections and services that the applications and the operatorrequire.
One best example is OpenFlow protocol. This protocol helps operators create their ownAPIs, control and management schemes, so that the application requirements of the
operator are met. Apart from these, some SDN protocols are primarily designed upon an
application level logic, rather than from the traditional network paradigm of protocol,device and link-based thinking.
#3 Bigger Data and Storage:
The next big trend across IT is data and storage. For the past couple of years, data

accumulation has made a significant impact on IT. From an IT perspective, one of the
main issues is not awareness of the issue, but prioritization of the issues.
Leading-edge firms have realized the problem and are beginning to focus on storage
utilization and management as a means to reduce floor space usage and energy usage,
improve compliance and improve controls on growth within the data center. It seems thatIT admins have finally realized the fact that for the next five years, the most of the
growth can be expected from unstructured data, which is the most difficult to manage.
#4 Hybrid Clouds:
A hybrid cloud is offered in one of two ways: a vendor has a private cloud and forms a
partnership with a public cloud provider and vice versa. At present, vendors increasingly
use cloud computing as a marketing label for many old technologies and offerings,devaluing the term and trend. This is a big mistake, and enterprises have to realize it fast.
Cloud computing has all the hype to drive revolutionary changes within enterprise
platform. The only missing piece is someone who can handle, design and manage thistechnology.
#5 Client Servers:

In the last quarter century, operating systems were mainly resident on the desktop, except
for some large and complex applications such as ERP were located on servers that could
be remote from clients. But as for now the scenario has completely changed. Everyapplication is compatible with every single operating system across the tech world. Even
users have the authority of choosing the right architecture and the time frame for
implementation.
#6 The Internet of Things:
We know that the internet has simply changed the landscape of technology. But now
looking into the future, there are several concepts that truly can be augmented as a true ITtrend of the future. Technologies that comprises identifying, sensing and communicating
are on the rise.
Key visions include embedded sensors (primarily for detecting and communicating
changes), image recognition (to identify objects, place and other related things) and NFC
payment (making payments with just a simple wave using mobiles).
#7 Appliance madness:

Organizations are generally attracted to appliances when they offer hands-off solutions to
application and functional requirements, but organizations are also repelled by appliances
when they require additional investments for management functions.
Despite of the continuous failure of appliances in the enterprise market, its pretty sure
that the appliance market wont go down in any near future. Vendors keep on introducingappliances to the market because the appliance model represents a unique opportunity for
a vendor to have more control of the solution stack and obtain greater margin in the sale.
#8 Complexity:
The sources of complexity within IT are easy to spot. The number of initialization
parameters for input into starting an Oracle database and the number of pages of manuals
to use a Cisco switch are just some among many. But what augments the complexity isthe fact that IT organizations actually use only roughly 20 percent of the features and
functions in a system. The only solution to this problem is better awareness and
appropriate funds that can boost the business and economy.

#9 IT Demand:
With the increased awareness of the environmental impact data centers can have, therehas been a flurry of activity around the need for data center efficiency metric. Methods
like power usage effectiveness (PUE) and data center infrastructure efficiency (DCiE) is
a constant and hot topic for discussion. Even though these factors provide betterperformance and compatibility, what they do not provide is the much needed efficiency
and improvement. Operators must try to make out the difference between power supplied
and power consumed, so that they can fulfill the appropriate IT demand.
#10 Evolution toward the Virtual data center:
With better infrastructure comes better possibilities and in the case of IT- its the best
solution. The tech world is undergoing a big revolution as more and more advancedinfrastructure is available. This has finally led authenticated a long liven dream- that is a
virtualized data center. X86 virtualization is effectively the most important technology
innovation behind the modernization of the data center, as it can improve in computation,networking and storage- from physical hardwired to logical and decoupled applications.
