Quantum computers work with qubits that can exist in superposition and be entangled. They have enormous computational power compared to digital computers and could solve problems like prime factorization rapidly. This poses risks to current encryption methods and allows for perfectly secure quantum communication. Several types of quantum computers are being developed, from quantum annealers to analog and universal models, with the latter offering exponential speedups but being the hardest to build. Significant progress is being made, with quantum computers in the tens of qubits now and the need to transition encryption to post-quantum algorithms within the next decade.
Converged infrastructure groups multiple IT components like servers, storage, and networking equipment into a single optimized package. It provided a single support model but fell short in management, automation, orchestration, and flexibility. Hyper-converged infrastructure tightly integrated storage similar to how virtualization integrated servers, allowing simpler and denser infrastructure. However, both converged and hyper-converged infrastructure only made infrastructure marginally easier and did not support the goal of treating computing resources like utilities. True cloud-native applications that are serverless, containerized, and code-focused will require software-defined infrastructure to fully realize the fourth computing paradigm.
