4. Gartner‘s Nexus of 4 Forces
Converging Technologies: one comprehensive data model for OSS and IT automation
Gartner‘s Nexus of 4 Forces
About the Nexus of Forces
The Nexus of Forces is the convergence and mutual reinforcement of social, mobility, cloud and information patterns that drive new business scenarios. Although these forces are innovative and disruptive on their own; together they are revolutionizing business and society, disrupting old business models and creating new leaders. The Nexus is the basis of the technology platform of the future.
We have a strong growth story for the datacenter and connect systems group because the underlying drivers are dynamic and compelling:
Gartner Group published a report in June 2012 regarding the Nexus of Forces: social, mobile, cloud and information. As a result of consumerization and the ubiquity of connected smart devices, people’s behavior has caused a convergence of these forces.
Gartner also flagged a warning to all IT leaders at their annual Symposium/ITxpo 2011: Their existing architectures are becoming obsolete!!
What’s happening in this convergence of social, mobile, big data and cloud?
Big Data is the context for delivering enhanced social and mobile experiences.
Mobile devices are a platform for effective social networking and new ways to work.
Social links people to their work and each other in new and unexpected ways.
And, cloud enables delivery of information and functionality to users and systems.
The forces are intertwined to create a user-driven ecosystem of modern computing.
The nexus is the point at which two or more of four major IT forces converge to create new patterns of outcomes in technology use, business reality, market dynamics and changes to the lives of people.
“The Nexus of Forces Works Its Way Into the Enterprise”
Gartner September 2013

5. new Photos on Facebook Each Day

Million
new Photos on Facebook Each Day
Facebook Users Are Uploading 350 Million New Photos Each Day
Facebook revealed in a white paper that its users have uploaded more than 250 billion photos, and are uploading 350 million new photos each day. To put that into perspective, that would mean that each of Facebook's 1.15 billion users have uploaded an average of 217 photos apiece. These numbers do not include photo uploads on Instagram.
Facebook is the world's largest photo-sharing site, and the acquisition of Instagram solidified its place at the top of all photo-sharing activity on the Web. However, Snapchat, despite being much smaller than Facebook, has proven to be a serious contender and drives incredible photo-sharing volume. Snapchat has also reported that its users share an average of 350 million photos daily.

by 2016
Mobile phones are already well on their way to replacing cameras, cash, maps, remote controls, handheld gaming systems, boarding passes, tickets, cash registers, calculators, notepads, and much more. And they’re becoming globally ubiquitous: with over 6 billion subscribers, 1.6 billion phones were actually shipped last year; and by the end of this year, 1.4 billion smartphones will be in use.
Mobile platforms will catalyze next-generation connected experiences.
Per Cisco: The proliferation of tablets, mobile phones, and other smart devices as well as machine-to-machine (M2M) connections are driving up the demand for connectivity. By 2016, the forecast projects there will be nearly 18.9 billion network connections compared with 10.3 billion in By 2016, there are expected to be 3.4 billion Internet users about 45 percent of the world's projected population (7.3B). Works out to 2.6 devices per person or 5.6 per internet user. Advanced economies will be above this average: A report from the OECD on the internet of things estimates that a family of four will go from having an average of 10 devices connected to the internet now to 25 in 2017 (6.25 per user)
On the intelligent systems side – there’s a very wide range of estimates on the device to server ratio. In energy, we have pilots in which intelligent systems are placed in the energy substation to optimize and balance energy in real time at a local level, while servers aggregate and analyze data across the entire energy grid.  In this case, there is about 1 server for every 65 intelligent systems at the edge. Digital signs and kiosks drive 1 server for every 20 devices. Other high end example digital camera = 6:1 ratio for facial analysis.

EXABYTES
OF DATA CREATION
For years, technologists have discussed the ubiquity of information without realizing how to take full advantage of it. That time is here now!
Social, mobile, cloud make information accessible, shareable and consumable by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Knowing how to capture the power of the ubiquity of information and use that information at the right time, will be CRITICAL!
It took 1,000 years to create 5 Exabytes of data by Today, it takes 10 minutes!
Big data is a business driver, not just an IT driver.
Big Data:
It is said that over €3 Trillion will be spent in IT by One big growth factor is Big Data!
The overall market for Big Data technology — hardware, software and services — is projected to increase to $23.7 billion by 2016, from $8.1 billion last year, according to IDC
More than 75 percent of midsize to large businesses are implementing big data-related solutions within the next 12 months — with customer care, marketing and sales departments increasingly driving demand, according to new Microsoft Corp. research (
Per Morgan Stanley CIO survey: 34 % of surveyed CIOs expect to increase analytics spending over the next three years (vs 13% that said they would decrease analytics spending)
Der Anteil der Video-Daten am gesamten Internet-Verkehr wird laut einer Studie von Cisco Systems 2017 weltweit bei mehr als 70 Prozent liegen. Das bedeutet, dass nicht nur die Netzwerke, sondern auch die Rechenzentren von Service-Providern so flexibel ausgelegt sein müssen, dass über sie Video-Services nach Bedarf in der gewünschten Qualität bereitstellen können.
Laut Cisco wird das IP-Datenvolumen in Cloud-Data-Centern im Jahr 2016 weltweit an die 6,6 Zettabyte betragen (2012: rund 2 ZByte).
Hinzu kommen Services, die Privatanwender aus Clouds beziehen, etwa Videos und Musikdienste. An die 62 Prozent der Workloads werden der Cisco-Studie zufolge 2016 in Cloud-Data-Centern angesiedelt sein, nur 38 Prozent in herkömmlichen Rechenzentren.
Der Trend in Richtung "Mobile Data": Der Cisco Visual Networking Index geht davon aus, das 2017 weltweit 11,2 Exabyte Daten pro Monat von mobilen Geräten wie Smartphones und Tablet-Rechnern aus abgerufen werden. An die 7,4 Exabyte entfallen davon auf Videos.

Cloud services in 2016
The Personal Computer will be replaced with the Personal Cloud
Gartner believes the personal cloud will replace the PC as the center of our digital lives sooner than you might think: 2014.
Major trends in client computing have shifted the market away from a focus on personal computers to a broader device perspective that includes smartphones, tablets and other consumer devices.
Emerging cloud services will become the glue that connects the web of devices that users choose to access during the different aspects of their daily life.
Cloud:
Gartner estimates total cloud services spending at $200B in 2016 is more than double that of 2011 ($~90B).
Global cloud IP traffic will increase six-fold over the next 5 years. Global cloud IP traffic will account for nearly two-thirds of total data center traffic by 2016. 
Fastest growing DCSG business segment: >25% CAGR is our last public forecast Beyond the CPU, we have 2X attach rate of non-CPU revenues than average in cloud – for every $1 of CPU revenue, we garner up to $.50 of non-CPU revenue
