Der steinige Weg neuer Technologien - Report 09

Gartners Hype Cycle-Darstellungen (unten) sind populär (s. auch ältere Beiträge). Der "Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2009" widmet sich insbesondere den IT-Trends:

• Cloud Computing. Cloud computing is the latest super-hyped concept in IT. Although cloud computing is about a very simple idea — consuming and/or delivering services from "the cloud," there are many issues regarding types of cloud computing and scope of deployment that make the details not nearly so simple. In other words, it is a subject that is ripe for a Gartner Hype Cycle.


• Data Center Power and Cooling Technologies. The increase in high-density IT equipment (servers, storage and communication), the growing cost and scarcity of power, and the move toward a greener environment are requiring new technology to meet growing needs.


• Enterprise Information Management (EIM). EIM is an integrative discipline for structuring, describing and governing information assets across organizational and technological boundaries to improve efficiency, promote transparency and enable business insight. The Hype Cycle covers the broad range of technologies and capabilities used to effectively manage information as an asset and deliver information as part of a business service inside or outside the enterprise.


• Media Broadcasting. The first Hype Cycle published for the television broadcasting industry focuses on technologies that support the digital distribution and monetization of video content. It is relevant to traditional terrestrial broadcasters and other TV service providers, including cable, satellite and IPTV.


• Mobile Device Technologies. Advances in key mobile technologies — such as manufacturing processes, wireless, chip fabrication, processors, memory, displays and user interfaces — will dramatically change the size, shape and capability of mobile devices during the next 10 years.


• Photovoltaic Solar Energy. Solar energy is an area of great interest and opportunity for enterprises. Growing worldwide demand for clean energy is coming at a time when solar panel prices are declining due to improved manufacturing technologies and less-expensive raw materials. The complete photovoltaic solar value chain is represented in this Hype Cycle.


• Virtualization. Virtualization is the process of decoupling layers of IT function so the configuration of the layers becomes more independent of each other. Virtualization changes the way enterprises package and deliver computing. It is disruptive to both IT users and providers, leading to significant levels of hype.
