In 2014, there were some technological innovations with the potential to change history – from smart glasses to connected watches – and we saw that some technologies have come out of science fiction movies in the past year; these achievements show that our desire for innovation is still strong. And our world is becoming more and more dependent on the networks that support these technologies. With the upcoming draw of 2014, our question is: What can be developed in 2015?
Looking forward to 2015, Shi Longxin, general manager of the network solution provider Brocade Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, put forward the following technical trend predictions worthy of observation:
1. The rise of new IP networks
We have been at the forefront of the new network. From the past experience, the transfer of computing will inevitably lead to the evolution of the Internet. Everyone knows that the new computing model symbolizes the future, such as action, cloud computing and the Internet of Things, which will drive the major evolution of the Internet.
The traditional network is built on the "open but substantive" agreement, and is designed for non-mission critical applications. The future is bound to support these new technology trends. We will see these changes happen in 2015 and drive the rise of the new IP network (New IP). The new IP network can more closely match the evolution of the rest of the IT technology, and adopts open platform and software-driven and hardware-optimized high-extension features.
2. Openness has contributed to the gradual advancement of SDN and NFV
In the past year, we have seen Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network FuncTIons VirtualizaTIon (NFV) evolved into the foundation of the future. We have seen some early adopters use these technologies, but we expect to see SDN and NFV really affect the entire network community in 2015.
The industry is rapidly moving towards openness and open source, while data centers are moving toward software definitions and high levels of virtualization. Many network services and applications are implemented at the edge of the network or at the terminal. Future networks will have features such as multiple services, multi-tenancy, hardware acceleration and software control.
The industry understands that in order to ensure that the company's information base can truly match the business needs, customers must be free to choose the solution that best meets their needs, and not limited to those manufacturers. Customers demand greater choice and flexibility, making open standards the most versatile, and truly open and interoperable standards will become more popular in 2015.
3. The Internet of Things will begin to impact businesses
In 2014, I saw that the Internet of Things has begun to take shape, and this trend will increase rapidly in 2015. Frost & Sullivan predicts that the number of machine-to-machine connections in the Asia-Pacific region will reach 116.6 million in 2015, and companies will need to be prepared to face the data generated and captured by the growing network of devices.
Many of these IoT technologies will enter the enterprise or the public network, so it is absolutely necessary to invest in the network infrastructure to support these developments. Most of these new data volumes are unstructured, and companies will soon need more flexibility and dynamic control to manage the Internet of Things.
4. Virtual workspace becomes a necessity
Employees demand greater flexibility, but as the budget will remain tight in the foreseeable future, companies are actively seeking ways to meet user needs and enhance productivity. In order to respond to this trend, the company adopted a virtualized workspace, which made the virtual network become the mainstream in 2015. IDC predicts that by 2015, the 838.7 million people in the Asia-Pacific region will use mobile technology to perform remote work, and its growth rate is the highest compared to other regions.
Virtualized workspaces allow employees to work the same way as they do at work, regardless of where they are and what devices they use, providing them with greater freedom to help them increase productivity. However, the increase in user flexibility will inevitably put more pressure on the core foundation, and the company must ensure that the network used is truly free for employees to work remotely.
5. Information leader faces greater pressure on innovation
In addition to the information (informaTIon), the “I†in the CIO of the information-long English abbreviation means innovation (innovaTIon). In addition to being the foundation of the company's management of the technology, it also enhances the company's competitive advantage and enhances service agility. Sexual pusher. If they want to exert their influence, they must abandon the traditional methods and adopt new technologies, from the role of IT maintenance alone to the key to the company's business transformation.
