Well, its the season for predictions and we are on time rolling out our Trend spotting dice for the new year 2012. I saw this which predicts trends out for next 5 years !
With big blue on their side, who are we to dispute that call ? A lot more has been said from various quarters for sure by now, but we simply had to throw our hat in the ring and add our 5 cents on the tech sector. So, here are our top five spinners for 2012.
1. Our Business Edition scores with SMB– The much whispered and soon to be baptized Business edition of Zukmo will blaze a trail in the SMB space. In fact, we envision our journey in 2012 to be toeing the lines of a similarly attempted voyage of an ‘Enterprise’ by borrowing from their famous observations.
“Cloud, the final frontier. These are the new deployments of our service Zukmo. Her one-year mission: to explore all SMB markets, seek out new segments, tap old channels and to boldly go where no Dropbox or Box has ever gone before.”
2. Hybrid clouds gather – Hybrid cloud pours cold water on the currently hot debate on whether on premise gets beat up by cloud or vice versa. MSPs dont fret the headlines this year. In 2012, after all the pros and the cons have evened out, everyone (on premise, public cloud, private cloud) and their grandmother will live happily ever after under one hybrid roof. The agility and scalability of cloud computing will not be outdone by the concerns over security, compliance, interoperability and vendor lock-in. Hence the hybrid settlements.
3. Desktop is dressed to kill: Desktop catwalks the ramp as a Size Zero model out-fashioning the thin client hipsters and will be the rage on stage for the first part of the year. we mean those derivatives of HP t5335z and t5565z will start looking up. But then sales will go anorexic once the hype cycle turns down and users begin to understand it still needs firmware upgrades to experience the future enhancements.
4. Big Data gets busted for nothing: Big Data, that untamed bully and cynosure of all eyes will certainly succumb to the elephantine crush of rising methodologies. However, results of successfully processing all that big data will deliver only reality checks and leave you wondering if you were Haduped ! The new question arises “Is humongous amount of data worth at all for harvesting precious insights or does it simply cloud the picture ?“ or rather the old question resurfaces “ will Eureka moments still be experienced in bathtubs ?”
5. A nursery rhyme is born. Doc now says “A million tablets a day will keep all the desktops sales away”
In case, none of this works out, we wont be a tad bothered.Since the goal has been always to
