eWeek's ten emerging technologies to track
Posted on 01/16/2007 01:36:08 | Link | Post Comment
1. Quad-code servers. Intel and AMD are making microprocessors -- the computing guts of a computer -- with two and four microprocessors. This is more efficient (and cooler) than simply making the microprocessor faster, which is what happened in the PC's first 20 years. The problem: Most of today's software has no clue about multiple core microprocessors.
2. Blog servers. There are zillions of blogs (like this one). Many do a much better job with providing up-to-the minute information via RSS feeds, etc. There's a huge business in improving and protecting the specialized computers which carry blogs.
3. RFID. 14,089 pieces of luggage disappear every day from airlines' baggage handling. By attaching a small radio frequency ID chip to the bag, you should be able to track it better
4. Encyrption. 50% of the best-in-class businesses surveyed by the Aberdeen expect to add encryption in the next 12 months to data that's sent to and from, and stored on portable devices, such as laptops and PDAs.
5. Enterprise service bus. Another new way of getting in and around and joining computers.
6. Software as a service (SAAS). You get and use your software over the Internet. SAAS generated only 5% of business software revenue in 2005, but will grow to 25% by 2011, according to Gartner consulting. Microsoft is starting Office Live.
7. IP Video. Video has a huge application in business -- from digital signage to on-line video auctions (why eBay bought Skype). Google bought You Tube for consumer video. We haven't scratched the surface of potential applications.
8. Applications accelerators. Make it faster and they'll buy. Make them wait, and you'll use them. The concept is easy to understand, not so easy to implement.
9. WiMax and mesh networks. Wireless is hot. WiMax promises broadband wireless to a community, offering a potential competition for cable modems and DSL. It seems to work. Intel is behind it.
10. United communications software. Think all the ways you can reach someone -- landline, cellphone, email, instant messaging, voice over IP, video IP, etc. Now, somehow, integrate that. You may be able to deliver better customer service. Cisco is playing around with the idea.
