In my roled istribution canit's important to love five years out to see what industry is headed in the long term but much of my attention is focused on thenear future identifying the technology and trends that are ready to be put to use a tablet over the next 12 month swith that in mind here for the top IT trends that I believe a poised to gainreal traction in 2016 my number for trend is the software-defined data center from the beginning data centers will be made up of silos of servers storage and networking hardware but that model is redundant and expensive and it makes itdifficult to allocate resources quickly that's a problem for IT teams that are feeling pressure to improve responsiveness and decrease maintenance costs in a software-defined data centerall the essential elements of a computing platform a pool together virtualized and managed to a common set of application programming interface swith all of the data centers resources pulled together it's easier and fasterto monitor and reallocate compute storage network in and even security resources according to the needs of the business production-ready software-defined data center offerings and now available from establish edvendors as well as from new cameras and I tea shops are looking for safe andproven ways to move to a software-defined environment that delivers the stability and the agility that their businesses require my number three top trend is what I call a mobile first approach until now most mobility initiatives will focus on providing mobile devices with the same access andsecurity that we find on desktop and laptop PCs the mobile versus approach turns out world view on its headit's not about matching the PC experience and a small device any moreit's about getting the most of the unique advantages that mobile platform shave to offer such as the ability to easily capture pictures documents andalso knowing the precise location of the device as mobile devices get more convenient security with a broader adoption of biometricsI expect more businesses will be thinking mobile-first in 2016 for both customers and employees my second top i t-tried 4 2016 is machine learningI see machine learning is a logical evolution of the exponential growth ofdata and data analytics that we've been seen over the last few years big data and data analytics today are mostly concerned with mine in largequantities of data to provide insights that leaders can use to make informed decisions with speed however those results of focus on helping business leaders interpret pastactivity a machine learning on the other hand is about using the same data setsto predict future behavior today Google Facebook and Amazon or relying onmachine learning to deliver content ads and products that use your past activityto predict what you'll be interested in next BM's Watson initiative extends its significant machine learning capabilities to IBM customers a machine learning is also at the heart of Google's efforts to develop self-driving vehicles as the engineers at Google willtell you it's easier to drive a car when you can predict what's around the corner rather than having to focus on the road behind you and running the business isno differentthat's why i believe machine learning will be one of this year's top trends togain traction as organizations like to predict the future as well as they cananalyze the past my top IT trends for 2016 is the internet of things specifically the industrial Internet of Things one study from the mckinsey global institute estimates that I OT will deliver up to 11 trillion dollarsof global economic impact on an annual basis just 10 years from now and asignificant proportion of that was going to be made up the industrial IOT forexample one of a minuteindustrial equipment customers has begun in bed in connected sensors into thefield based equipmentthis gives our customers the ability to let maintenance teams know when acomponent is about to break down but before it actually happens this simple warning helps avoid costly downtime and emergency repairsit also ensures that the service technicians have exactly the right partsthey need when they arrive on site 2016 will be the year the IOT hits criticalmass the opportunity is simply too large for that but the building blocks for theecosystem and now in place making it easier faster and less expensive toprototype and roll out real worldI OT solutions that's why its my number-one trend for 2016 to find outhow these and other top technology trends are being applied inside theenterprise in the year to comestay tuned to this text and series and to my blog behind the firewall and don't forget to give us a thumbs up or post a comment below this video is a value to you thank you for watching and see you next time
