Hitachi Data Systems Corporation has announced its HDS 2014 Asia Pacific predictions around the 5 key IT trends that will impact the use of technology among organizations.
Announcing this at an Asia Pacific Media Summit in Sydney, Adrian De Luca, Chief Technology Officer, Hitachi Data systems Asia Pacific predicted that:
a) Big data analytics will go beyond the proof-of-concept phase and into production in established markets
b) As the cloud-broker model gains traction in Asia Pacific, organizations will transform their IT departments from technology implementers to business innovators
c) Concerns over data security will reach a tipping point, not only for the mobile data that moves between devices and the cloud, but also for data in content repositories,
d) The Asia Pacific regions will witness an explosion of unstructured data from mobile communications
e) Competition between different countries and regions to become the digital hub of Asia will enter a critical stage in 2014.
“Big data, cloud and data encryption are some of the hottest global IT trends and these will combine with local business drivers to shape the IT and storage landscape in the APAC region in 2014,” says De Luca.
Referring to the recent Economist Intelligent Unit APAC big data survey, in association with HDS, De Luca, observed that over 70 per cent of organizations in the region believe big data adoption will improve their profitability, productivity and innovation.
CIOs will extensively leverage the cloud-broker model that will help them transform their IT departments from technology implementers to business innovators. “Enterprises with high-demand IT infrastructure and application services will start exploring cloud-broker model, preferring to work with providers who act as vendor-neutral third-party cloud services brokerages
De Luca pointed that the organizations will have to re-examine their security polices and look to solutions such as enterprise file sync and share, data encryption, and audit ability to address these issues.
With unstructured data from mobile communications witnessing an explosive growth according to De Luca , the telecom operators will need to develop a scalable, high-performance and reliable IT infrastructure architecture that incorporates flash-based storage and intelligent content delivery networks to meet these high-bandwidth requirements.
