Gartner đưa ra 10 xu hướng công nghệ năm 2015

(PCWorldVN) Internet vạn vật, thiết bị thông minh, phân tích và in ấn 3D... nằm trong danh sách công nghệ chiến lược hàng năm của Gartner cho năm tới.
Bài trình bày của Garner tại Hội nghị chuyên đề/Itxpo hàng năm tập trung vào sự hòa nhập của thế giới thực với thế giới ảo, điều này giúp cho các nhà phân tích nhìn nhận rõ hơn về xu hướng của CNTT và có những chiến lược phù hợp.Dưới đây là danh sách 10 xu hướng công nghệ của Gartner cho năm 2015
1. Tính toán ở mọi nơi. Theo Gartner, điều này chỉ có nghĩa là sẽ phổ biến hơn nữa khả năng truy cập khắp mọi nơi vào các hệ thống mạng. Màn hình thông minh và các thiết bị kết nối sẽ rất phát triển, với nhiều hình thức, kích cỡ và cách thức tương tác.
Gartner cảnh báo rằng bộ phận IT truyền thống sẽ không còn thích hợp để đối mặt với những thách thức “mọi lúc, mọi nơi”, và các nhân sự IT phải cần đạt được những kiến thức chuyên môn hơn.
2. Internet of Things (IoT). Lời khuyên của Gartner cho các nhà quản lý CNTT là hãy thử nghiệm, lấy ý tưởng và trao quyền cho cá nhân trong các tổ chức CNTT để phát triển ứng dụng cho các thiết bị kết nối và cảm biến.
Gartner tin rằng IoT có tiềm năng to lớn, mang lại nhiều giá trị cho doanh nghiệp, và thậm chí cho biết những cảm biến nhỏ có thể phát hiện các vấn đề trong thiết bị trước khi hỏng hóc xảy ra, tiết kiệm cho doanh nghiệp.
3. In ấn 3D. Công nghệ này đã được khoảng từ năm 1984, nhưng bây giờ đã trưởng thành và đang gia tăng. Trong khi in ấn 3D được người tiêu dùng rất quan tâm, nó thực sự có giá trị nhiều hơn cho doanh nghiệp.
4. Phân tích dữ liệu sẽ được chú trọng và tăng cường hơn (Advanced, Pervasive and Invisible Analytics). Mọi ứng dụng đều có khả năng phân tích.
5. Hệ ngữ cảnh phong phú(Context Rich Systems). Thông tin về người sử dụng, vị trí của họ, những gì họ đã làm trong quá khứ, sở thích, quan hệ xã hội và nhiều thuộc tính khác đều trở thành đầu vào cho các ứng dụng.
6. Máy móc thông minh. Gartner đưa ví dụ về công ty khai khoáng toàn cầu Rio Tinto, đang sử dụng loạt xe tải tự vận hành, cho thấy vai trò của máy móc thông minh.
7. Cloud Computing và Client. Điều này nhấn mạnh vai trò trung tâm của đám mây. Một ứng dụng sẽ nằm trên đám mây, phục vụ mọi đối tượng khách hàng.
8. Software Defined Applications and Infrastructure - Ứng dụng và hạ tầng được xác định bằng phần mềm. CNTT sẽ không thể làm việc với chương trình, thành phần đã được được xác định trước, nó cần có một hạ tầng động, linh hoạt hơn.
9. Web-Scale IT - Web quy mô CNTT. Điều này giống như áp dụng một số mô hình được sử dụng bởi các nhà cung cấp đám mây lớn, bao gồm cả chấp nhận rủi ro và dàn xếp, hợp tác.
10. Bảo mật. Đặc biệt, Gartner nhấn mạnh nhiều hơn đến ứng dụng tự bảo vệ.

Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2015

Gartner, Inc. today highlighted the top 10 technology trends that will be strategic for most organizations in 2015.

Gartner defines a strategic technology trend as one with the potential for significant impact on the organization in the next three years. Factors that denote significant impact include a high potential for disruption to the business, end users or IT, the need for a major investment, or the risk of being late to adopt. These technologies impact the organization's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.

"We have identified the top 10 technology trends that organizations cannot afford to ignore in their strategic planning processes," said David Cearley, vice president & Gartner Fellow. "This does not necessarily mean adoption and investment in all of the trends at the same rate, but companies should look to make deliberate decisions about them during the next two years."

Mr. Cearley said the top trends for 2015 cover three themes: the merging of the real and virtual worlds, the advent of intelligence everywhere, and the technology impact of the digital business shift.

The top 10 strategic technology trends for 2015 are:

• Computing Everywhere 

As mobile devices continue to proliferate, Gartner predicts an increased emphasis on serving the needs of the mobile user in diverse contexts and environments, as opposed to focusing on devices alone.

"Phones and wearable devices are now part of an expanded computing environment that includes such things as consumer electronics and connected screens in the workplace and public space," said Mr. Cearley. "Increasingly, it's the overall environment that will need to adapt to the requirements of the mobile user. This will continue to raise significant management challenges for IT organizations as they lose control of user endpoint devices. It will also require increased attention to user experience design."

• The Internet of Things

The combination of data streams and services created by digitizing everything creates four basic usage models — Manage, Monetize, Operate and Extend. These four basic models can be applied to any of the four "Internets." Enterprises should not limit themselves to thinking that only the Internet of Things (IoT) (assets and machines) has the potential to leverage these four models. For example, the pay-per-use model can be applied to assets (such as industrial equipment), services (such as pay-as-you-drive insurance), people (such as movers), places (such as parking spots) and systems (such as cloud services). Enterprises from all industries can leverage these four models.

• 3D Printing

Worldwide shipments of 3D printers are expected to grow 98 percent in 2015, followed by a doubling of unit shipments in 2016. 3D printing will reach a tipping point over the next three years as the market for relatively low-cost 3D printing devices continues to grow rapidly and industrial use expands significantly. New industrial, biomedical and consumer applications will continue to demonstrate that 3D printing is a real, viable and cost-effective means to reduce costs through improved designs, streamlined prototyping and short-run manufacturing.

• Advanced, Pervasive and Invisible Analytics

Analytics will take center stage as the volume of data generated by embedded systems increases and vast pools of structured and unstructured data inside and outside the enterprise are analyzed. "Every app now needs to be an analytic app," said Mr. Cearley. "Organizations need to manage how best to filter the huge amounts of data coming from the IoT, social media and wearable devices, and then deliver exactly the right information to the right person, at the right time. Analytics will become deeply, but invisibly embedded everywhere." Big data remains an important enabler for this trend but the focus needs to shift to thinking about big questions and big answers first and big data second — the value is in the answers, not the data.

• Context-Rich Systems

Ubiquitous embedded intelligence combined with pervasive analytics will drive the development of systems that are alert to their surroundings and able to respond appropriately. Context-aware security is an early application of this new capability, but others will emerge. By understanding the context of a user request, applications can not only adjust their security response but also adjust how information is delivered to the user, greatly simplifying an increasingly complex computing world.

• Smart Machines

Deep analytics applied to an understanding of context provide the preconditions for a world of smart machines. This foundation combines with advanced algorithms that allow systems to understand their environment, learn for themselves, and act autonomously. Prototype autonomous vehicles, advanced robots, virtual personal assistants and smart advisors already exist and will evolve rapidly, ushering in a new age of machine helpers. The smart machine era will be the most disruptive in the history of IT.

• Cloud/Client Computing

The convergence of cloud and mobile computing will continue to promote the growth of centrally coordinated applications that can be delivered to any device. "Cloud is the new style of elastically scalable, self-service computing, and both internal applications and external applications will be built on this new style," said Mr. Cearley. "While network and bandwidth costs may continue to favor apps that use the intelligence and storage of the client device effectively, coordination and management will be based in the cloud."

In the near term, the focus for cloud/client will be on synchronizing content and application state across multiple devices and addressing application portability across devices. Over time, applications will evolve to support simultaneous use of multiple devices. The second-screen phenomenon today focuses on coordinating television viewing with use of a mobile device. In the future, games and enterprise applications alike will use multiple screens and exploit wearables and other devices to deliver an enhanced experience.

• Software-Defined Applications and Infrastructure

Agile programming of everything from applications to basic infrastructure is essential to enable organizations to deliver the flexibility required to make the digital business work. Software-defined networking, storage, data centers and security are maturing. Cloud services are software-configurable through API calls, and applications, too, increasingly have rich APIs to access their function and content programmatically. To deal with the rapidly changing demands of digital business and scale systems up — or down — rapidly, computing has to move away from static to dynamic models. Rules, models and code that can dynamically assemble and configure all of the elements needed from the network through the application are needed.

• Web-Scale IT

Web-scale IT is a pattern of global-class computing that delivers the capabilities of large cloud service providers within an enterprise IT setting. More organizations will begin thinking, acting and building applications and infrastructure like Web giants such as Amazon, Google and Facebook. Web-scale IT does not happen immediately, but will evolve over time as commercial hardware platforms embrace the new models and cloud-optimized and software-defined approaches reach mainstream. The first step toward the Web-scale IT future for many organizations should be DevOps — bringing development and operations together in a coordinated way to drive rapid, continuous incremental development of applications and services.

• Risk-Based Security and Self-Protection

All roads to the digital future lead through security. However, in a digital business world, security cannot be a roadblock that stops all progress. Organizations will increasingly recognize that it is not possible to provide a 100 percent secured environment. Once organizations acknowledge that, they can begin to apply more-sophisticated risk assessment and mitigation tools. On the technical side, recognition that perimeter defense is inadequate and applications need to take a more active role in security gives rise to a new multifaceted approach. Security-aware application design, dynamic and static application security testing, and runtime application self-protection combined with active context-aware and adaptive access controls are all needed in today's dangerous digital world. This will lead to new models of building security directly into applications. Perimeters and firewalls are no longer enough; every app needs to be self-aware and self-protecting.
