The advancement of technology continues to evolve to respond to the new needs that continue to arise in the new era of data. The rise of hyperconnectivity will drive the proliferation of data that will become especially relevant in the new cloud and Edge environments.
The data They have become a fundamental piece in all business strategies. That is why the technology adopted by organizations seeks to get the most out of the data and optimize performance to achieve the desired objectives.
For Dell Technologys vice president and co-chief operating officer Jeff Clarke, technology will move forward seeking to meet these new expectations based on data. Consequently, CIOs must take into account four trends that will mark the development of their businesses.
Technology will define the work experience
The future of work It is evolving, and as a hybrid world takes hold, technology will increasingly define the employee experience. This is a perfect opportunity to design what works best for each worker, their company, and their culture.
If at the beginning of the pandemic, work “from anywhere” was prioritized, in the next phase it is about improving the quality of work. We need the right tools, devices and workspaces that facilitate the colaboration for the job to work.
The walls of “closed” technological ecosystems will fall
In 2022 we have started to see a shift in the industry towards true multi-cloud architectures. These architectures use the services of whatever cloud is adopted, but will also make important capabilities “horizontal” across the multicloud environment.
A good example is storage and data as a common service that can be accessed by all clouds. Even the focus on Zero Trust security it should be about making sure that the multicloud security architecture is a common horizontal service, not a collection of silos.
The digital transformation of every company should benefit from greater openness and faster innovation in communication systems
Another interesting aspect is the digital transformation of telecommunications networks. Even wider adoption of virtualization, software-defined architectures, open systems, and open interfaces is anticipated with the early adoption of concepts such as OpenRAN.
In this way, the digital transformation of each company should benefit from greater openness and faster innovation in communication systems. With this, it is expected that, in 2023, innovation will focus on making the entire technological ecosystem work as a platform for digital transformation.
And there’s a good reason: no single solution, platform, or vendor will meet all of the technology’s expectations. That means that the “walls” of “closed” ecosystems will come crashing down.
Artificial Intelligence will reach a tipping point
we’ve been talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI) for years, and now, companies are making more and more use of these Technologys in their business. In 2023 the use of AI and machine learning will accelerate and we will begin to see more real impacts from their use.
This means that we will also need more infrastructure optimized for these highly demanding workloads. Advanced servers and storage to drive AI already do this, but by 2023 there will be an even wider range of acceleration chips on the market, bringing increased performance and efficiency.
Rise of Zero Trust architectures
The digital transformation of the global economy is significantly increasing the number of potential attack surfaces. Many companies around the world are transforming their security strategies and looking for Zero Trust architectures to better protect their environments.
The real challenge is that Zero Trust’s design and integration are too complex for most customers
The three fundamental principles of Zero Trust are based on universal continuous authentication of all, a firm and authoritative behavior driven by policies, and a very integrated threat management.
The real challenge is that the current state of the industry and technology makes Zero Trust design and integration too complex for most customers. That is why it is necessary to ease that burden and simplify the process.
This includes assessing the current state of an organization and providing actionable insights to mature its cybersecurity programs and align with Zero Trust. Through the continued development of roadmaps, best practices, and standardization, we can make adoption much faster and easier.
Ultimately, Zero Trust will become the foundation for a new level of data security and trust in a multicloud world highly distributed where everything is connected.
