Personal clouds will also play into the mobility theme for enterprises. Why? Bring your own device will yield to bring your own service as employees bring services like Dropbox to work. "The personal cloud will replace the personal computer," said Cearley.
In other areas, the Internet of things will digitize all businesses. The challenge will be making sense of all the data from image recognition, embedded sensors and other information related by physical objects. Cearley said that by 2015, 70 percent of companies will have one executive in charge of overseeing Internet-connected devices and objects. The payoff will be in the supply chain, control and information services. "The Internet of things has applications across multiple industries," said Cearley.
Cloud computing is a no brainer and Gartner has pitched for years that brokers would emerge to manage services. So far, these predictions haven't panned out completely.
On the big data and analytics front, Cearley noted that there's a difference between "strategic big data" and a flow of information. Among the key items:
- Sensor data will become dominant.
- Hadoop and NoSQL gain momentum.
- Pilots will move to production.
- The social and mobile graphs will be critical.
- Data warehouses will be revamped into new models.
- Analytics will be real time courtesy of a man-machine partnership.
These analytics tool will be enabled by mainstream in-memory computing. "In-memory will be in your world across multiple applications," said Cearley. "This will open new opportunities."
