Big changes in technology and communication that will move the market in 2014

At each end of the year, the IT market begins to speculate on future developments.

For 2014, many companies specializing in the sector have drawn up a ranking of the main trends. However, attention remains focused not only on the trends but also on the changes that should mark the evolution of the sector in that year and in the coming years.

All are linked to improving the quality of life through access to basic services and communication in general, as well as having a great ability to help generate new business, improve the quality of customer service and optimize production processes.

• WebRTC (Real Time Communication) technology will allow the exchange of videos, voice calls, instant messages and sharing of content in real time and over the Internet, without the user having to install any plug-ins.

• Creating services based on each user’s context is a reality that is already changing the way people interact with devices and the way companies work to anticipate their customers’ needs. In that case, Big Data must be used in a real way. Private companies and government organizations did not opt ​​for complex products and solutions and used the computational resources they had at their disposal to extract information from the immense mass of data existing in the digital world. The good initial results are encouraging more and more companies to seek value for their businesses through data analysis implemented every second in the various bases existing on the planet. Based on this reality, 2014 will be the year in which suppliers will have to demonstrate their flexibility and agility to offer the availability of new products/solutions that are in line with this new culture, which most companies who now perceive that the question “Big Data Analytics x Value for my business” are starting to consider is a reality.

• Growth of M2M communication, i.e. Machine-to-Machine, Mobile-to-Machine and Machine-to-Mobile communications, which permeate our daily lives. M2M facilitates communication between people and machines, between people and products. Studies suggest that by 2022, M2M connections will be responsible for 45% of total calls, while person-to-machine (P2M) and person-to-person (P2P) will account for the remaining 55%. To date, companies are already delving into this problem.

• Ultra-high definition video will definitively pervade smartphones, augmented reality glasses, tablets and other camera-equipped devices. With up to 16 times the resolution of today’s HD TV (1080p), its impact on the network requires the adoption of new technologies.

• Real-time analysis capability is another commitment of specialists. It is based on different technologies for processing data in seconds or minutes, offering the possibility of data analysis with information in motion.

• The Web is not strong enough to support the exponential growth of connected devices. There are already proposals to replace the IP protocol-based infrastructure with a new Named Dice Networking (NDN) paradigm, which will enforce information using names and not addresses of hosts. Another approach is defined by software technologies (SD – X, Software Defined – Any), which must turn to virtualization networking (SDN and NFV) to increase their reach across physical and virtual resources.

• Network of autonomous systems: networks can be self-managed in terms of configuration, security, optimization and troubleshooting using technologies such as Contract Network or Self-Organizing Networks (SON).

• The cloud provider’s service will be consolidated and strengthened in 2014. Both clouds in public, private or hybrid environments will have space in the market, offering new technologies that enable discovery in various environments, adopting common service level agreements (SLAs) and creating actions to strengthen the most cost-effective service. Since servers, storage and networking equipment behave like a large “machine”, where applications can reach large scale, all infrastructure must be virtualized and centrally controlled – i.e. software-defined.

All these trends, or already realities for 2014, are directly linked to security issues, where the vulnerability of machines and devices will be confronted with new technologies and techniques, and companies will be forced to make ever-increasing investments in security products and solutions designed and oriented towards mobility. which will represent an excellent year for suppliers who already have the products, solutions and skills to meet the needs of this increasingly mobile individual and business world.
