Complex Big data market

It has become very difficult to choose a better suitable Big Data vendor from the list, as it is not a technology for one single application but it impacts business model. Though data security and analytics functionalities being very critical functionalities while choosing the right vendor. Now cloud and Big data technologies going hand in hand and it has been found that Azure is the best cloud vendor for Hadoop. So it’s difficult to choose a Big data vendor because of the cost associated with it and also the kind of benefits this will have for the business is more important. Most of the small vendors are getting lost in the competition from the big players in such a competitive Big data market.

Marriage of DevOps and PaaS

PaaS market is growing rapidly and we can see it growing up to $14B by 2017 , it was predicted that PaaS will replace DevOps but this has never happened in fact both are working interdependently. The ops team focuses on providing a stable and reliable environment that in turn allows developers to focus on creating code. Maturing PaaS systems recognize and enhance this marriage by enabling an environment of rapid iteration towards a better product. The attraction of managed private PaaS for small, medium, and even large companies is that they can start faster, and with reduced costs —their partners operate the infrastructure, set up security, install patches, perform backups, and manage many other operations, leaving the company to focus on agile, high-velocity development, test and deployment. DevOps’ continuous innovation principles—fast fail, rapid cycling, high-velocity agile development–become much more possible when building on the cloud. Agility and speed to innovation will drive the technology for businesses in future.

Demand for Enterprise Video Collaboration

Most of the enterprises use audio, video or mailing/chatting applications for communication among the colleagues and for that most of the companies use Lync which is a Microsoft application and recently it’s called as Skype for business. Until now most of the enterprises were using the audio mode for interaction but it has been observed that video collaboration is getting more popularity. There are some constraints for the use of video collaboration tools such as bandwidth, dedicated infrastructure resources etc. There are analytical applications which are used to analyze the use of the video collaboration tool with the help of dashboard.

Enterprise mobility and security

Use of Mobile applications for business purpose is increasing day by day and many employees use number of devices for their work related activities so the data getting generated on these devices is large in terms of size, even now Internet of Things and BYOD has given birth to lot of devices and lot of data. There are three major aspects which are very important while studying the security of the business applications as well as data associated with it which are People, Processes and Technology. Most of the employees are not aware about the kind of security norms followed within the organization also the kind of processes which needs to be followed are not structured and the technology which is being used for enterprise mobility applications might not be full proof for data security purpose. So these three most important aspects every organization needs to be addressed by every organization for their enterprise security.

Big data adding to Keyboard functionality

We have seen use of Big data extensively in social networking due to the large size of data handling and processing but now people have explored various ways to make use of Big data in big way to help their systems and one of them is Keyboard. All of us use keyboard on daily basis and we get the suggestions on the keyboard based on the words we type and these words are pulled out from the dictionary which are there running in the background of the application. So these type of word suggestions we get based on a particular language and if try to put in some word in different language then we may get some weird result , so big data plays an important role in adding to existing keyboard functionality by creating a pool of words from where all these relevant words are fetched.

Cloud being a cheaper way of storing data

There are various factors involved in selecting a type of data storage technology such as tiering, flash caching, thin provisioning, deduplication  etc. whether we should use cloud or we should keep this data in-house in our own racks or we should outsource this data storage facility to third party.

Data security and data retrieval time are the two major aspects to be looked for while choosing the right technology for data storage and it has been proved that cloud data storage is the cheapest way as they charge on pay per use basis with limited or unlimited GB storage plans.

Collaborate with Virtual Reality

Many companies started their own research on VR enabled devices which can be used for 3D interaction with the objects and users. After Facebook bought Oculus Rift the actual importance of VR technology in non-gaming industry understood to most of the industry experts and then we can see many new VR products getting built for new purposes & with innovative functionalities. Microsoft came up with HoloLens is a head-mounted, holographic computer that provides a mixed-reality experience for a range of commercial and consumer applications and they are currently working with many companies one of them being Trimble which is working with Hololens on the Windows 10 platform, where it is intended to improve the quality, collaboration and efficiency in the design, construction and operation of buildings and structures of their products.
