1. 6 Technology Trends for
2015 & Ahead
By Shamit Khemka

2. Introduction
Originally, We figured we'd reel off some
predictions about the coming year. But
we're at one of those rare junctures
when a bunch of trends have begun to
crystallize and We're pretty sure many
of them will persist for more than 12
months.

3. 1. Cloud is the new hardware
All big industry shifts have been driven
by new computing platforms, from the
PC to client-server to the Internet. For
servers, storage, and networking
equipment to behave like one big
"machine," where applications can
assume massive scalability, the entire
infrastructure must be virtualized and
centrally controllable that is, software-
defined.

4. Ultimately this trend goes beyond SDN to
include every system in the data center, all the
way to HVAC. Advanced software control
schemes pioneered by public cloud providers
will continue to trickle down to the enterprise.

5. 2. Customer Engagement leading the
priority list
Optimizing the customer interaction has become
the hottest area of technology, driving the
development of elastic infrastructure, new
database technologies, and the collection and
analysis of big data (mainly Web clickstreams and
other user data).
Big data analysis using Hadoop-based applications
may be the single biggest advancement in
enterprise technology in the last decade. Not far
behind are NoSQL databases such as MongoDB,
Cassandra, and Couchbase, which scale out like
crazy and enable on-the fly changes to data
models.

6. 3. Big data gets ahead of itself
Big data analytics hold enormous
promise, but in the near term there are
simply too many big data solutions
searching for problems. In the long
term, the potential for big data goes way
beyond optimizing e-commerce to
embrace all kinds of verticals, from
manufacturing to transportation to the
electrical grid.

7. 4. Identity is the new security.
A wild exaggeration, but the fact is that identity
must now stretch to fit both on-premises and
SaaS applications. Managing who has access
to what -- and de-provisioning employees when
they leave the company -- is becoming both
more essential and more complicated.
Microsoft, Okta, Salesforce, and others are
rolling out solutions. Without cloud identity
management, enterprises can't adopt public
cloud solutions safely and effectively.

8. 5. Memory is the new storage
Big memory is exploding on two fronts. On the
software side, every relational database vendor
is adding in-memory capabilities, primarily for
analytics, and dramatically reducing the time
required for big processing jobs.
On the hardware side, solutions from the likes
of PernixData assemble a large, distributed
cache using flash memory in servers, thus
vastly reducing the percentage of reads and
writes that must travel all the way to the SAN.

9. 6. The future is powered by JavaScript.
No one likes maintaining a separate, native
client app for each platform. If you dream of
maintaining a single code base, your app must
run in a browser -- in other words, it must be a
JavaScript/HTML5 app.
Small wonder a new JavaScript framework
seems to pop up every week, with such wildly
inventive plays as Famo.us pushing the
envelope of what JavaScript can do. Plus,
cross-platform mobile development
environments such as PhoneGap allow easy

10. Conclusion
Meanwhile, the way software is delivered has changed
forever. IBM, Oracle, SAP, and other traditional vendors
are so deeply embedded in organizations they can
continue to extract huge sums from customers that must
maintain those wares. But the exciting new stuff? It's
mainly open source or SaaS or cheap mobile apps. It
seems to me that the industry may need to recalibrate its
revenue expectations, even if many of the startups get
acquired.
How enterprise IT will deal with a cloud and mobile world
where it no longer has a monopoly over business
technology remains an open question. In many
organizations, there's a growing realization that to stay
competitive, you need to deploy all kinds Web and mobile
applications for customers and see what sticks.
