Cloud computing is one of the 10 strategic technology trends for 2015, according to analysis from Gartner.<\/p>\n

The findings were presented by analysts at the Gartner Symposium\/ITxpo earlier this week. Gartner defines a strategic technology trend as one “with the potential for significant impact on the organisation in the next three years.”<\/p>\n

David Cearley is vice president and Gartner Fellow. He says there are three main themes with 2015 tech trends; the merging of the real and virtual worlds; the technology impact of the digital business shift; and ‘intelligence everywhere’.<\/p>\n

The latter point can be seen in a few of the trends; computing everywhere, the Internet of Things, and smart machine learning. In other words, computational power is moving away from the device.<\/p>\n

Naturally, cloud and client computing will be a key element of this. For 2015, Gartner argues, the focus will be on promoting centrally coordinated applications that can port across multiple devices.<\/p>\n

“Cloud is the new style of elastically scalable, self-service computing, and both internal applications and external applications will be built on this new style,” said Cearley.<\/p>\n

“While network and bandwidth costs may continue to favour apps that use the intelligence and storage of the client device effectively, coordination and management will be based in the cloud.”<\/p>\n

This more sophisticated definition of cloud computing is in stark contrast to cloud’s position in the latest Gartner hype cycle, where it was stuck firmly in the ‘trough of disillusionment’.<\/p>\n

Gartner has made various predictions about cloud computing in the past, with varied degrees of success. By 2015, the analyst house predicts the death of the traditional sourcing model<\/a> of IT, as well as well as a move to cloud office systems.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other trends include software-defined apps and infrastructure, web-scale IT, advanced analytics, and 3D printing.<\/p>\n
