GEC NEWS WIRESDN to be the future of networking and security, big data and analytics to gain more attention
As 2015 draws to a close, Yarob Sakhnini, Regional Director, MEMA at Brocade looks into the crystal ball to outline the top transformative technology trends in networking to watch for in 2016 and beyond. Some of the crucial predictions to highlight are;
The cloud will gain even greater traction: The migration of old, legacy IP network architectures to New IP networks will accelerate.
Software-based networks are clearly the future: ADCs have already begun transforming to a virtual (vADC) model to help enterprises and services providers scale capacity on demand to handle peak workloads.
The importance of security will skyrocket: Security services can be virtualized, enabling organizations to distribute security wherever it is needed and customize security at various levels—by geography or location, function, group or individual, or application.
Big Data and analytics will get even bigger: The ability to derive intelligence from Big Data in real time will create a distinct competitive edge for any business.
Machine learning takes off: This process is already underway, as facial and speech recognition are changing the worlds of consumer electronics and the cloud services that use them, and anomaly detection is quickly becoming a crucial part of network security. The rise of the telco with virtual architecture: The risk of falling behind is set to intensify with each passing day as carriers and service providers that embrace change will become the winners in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem and 5G race by 2020. The technical talent crunch gets serious:. The talent crunch issue will become increasingly acute, and organizations will have to rethink their human resource strategies and policies in order to attract, develop, and retain strong talent.
