WikitipBusiness in the Clouds in 2012The year 2012 is quickly approaching, and I would like to add my thoughts about what we might see. I have nothing to add about the supposed end of the world in 2012. My daughter was frantic about it several months ago but now even the teenagers seem to be moving on to the next big thing. I personally believe it will be a new beginning for computing technology, a big year for the cloud. Of course, the advance of the cloud is well and truly underway, as an infographic from CEO.com suggests: 70% of business are already using cloud computing solutions, and this is expected to increase, both in the number of companies and the number and type of solutions used. So what will happen in 2012?
Cloud computing, mobile devices and social networks will drive the development of applications for both business and personal use to incorporate and take advantage of all three. These are just a few of the developments I expect for 2012. Of course, there are more to mention, and I would like to hear from my readers to hear about their predictions. I believe it will be an exciting year, and I am looking forward to a few surprises as well, maybe amazing new technologies or new players in this space. |
Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. |
