"New year, new technology? On the eve of 2011, we wanted desgranaros the predictions made by Deloitte in a forthcoming report on the trends that govern the technology sector in 2011.
predictions is not closed, of course, but points to consider products and concepts that have come to stay and continue their development in the coming year. This is a debate on the technological needs required by the new market.
The hot spots are:
- Growth of cloud computing
Although based applications externally hosted services, in the website, not yet act as dominant companies, the "cloud computing will grow exponentially. This is the great challenge of high technology. The main obstacle to its take-off final is the fear of companies for safety, reliability and portability of data.
- The return of the terminals "dumb"
For reasons of cost, return to the companies the concept of virtual desktop or thin client. In other words, this is the return of the terminals "dumb" or "gregarious", ie the tendency to centralize the processing power and storage on central servers that are accessed from very basic PCs. This is due to the confluence of priorities such as cost reduction, energy efficiency, safety and personal productivity, which will promote the concept of thin client.
- more powerful and expensive processors
Moore's Law, which states that computer processors double in power every two years, remains in force, but according to Deloitte's becoming more expensive your application, so that the next generation will cost 50% more than today. The price of these chips in turn means more expensive computers, especially laptops. And this can cause problems, because the processors are sold for netbooks and smartphones, and both are more focused on price than speed.
- Bet on clean technologies
growth of clean technologies will remain for one or two years mainly due to the encouragement of governments that promote environmental care and ecology. The Cleantech Index, which measures the evolution of clean technologies during the last crisis fell by 61%, even below the overall market, as the S & P 500, for example, fell by 49%. This year, the trend is reversing, according to consultant Deloitte.
- Plans to entice consumers
technology companies will target the consumer more than the corporate market. Large manufacturers are using more advanced techniques for consumer devices and not the company. The corporate market, por ejemplo, compra paquetes por la reducción de precios. Según Deloitte, este tipo de acuerdos podrían desaparecer.
- La incógnita de las Net Tablet
Ya instaladas en el mercado desde el lanzamiento del iPad, las tabletas digitales (Net Tablets o netTabs), causarán furor y se instalarán como un dispositivo intermedio entre los smartphones y las laptops. Casi todas las tecnológicas y fabricantes de móviles y ordenadores tienen previsto lanzar su tableta en los próximos meses… Sin embargo, Deloitte advierte que la aceptación de estos dispositivos está siendo limitada.
