This shift will take place to change the traditional barriers attached with private and hybrid cloud techniques. Personal cloud would be preferred among Smartphone users to store and share files.
   
   
10. Fabric Data Centers
    In year 2014, we can expect this new innovative method to be used with data centers. These data centers will involve the integration of many I.T. elements that are commonly disaggregated, such as monolithic servers, storage and networks. These elements will enable the network to distribute the workload.
    
    
11. Internet of Things
    Internet of Things concept describes how the Internet will expand as physical items such as consumer devices and physical assets which are connected to the Internet. To expand these service different devices would be embedded into mobile phones like sensors, image recognition technologies and NFC payment. This will enable the smartphones to communicate via NFC, Bluetooth, LE and Wi-Fi to a wide range of devices and peripherals.
    
    
12. In Memory Database and Computing Applications
    Thanks to significant increase in RAM capacity, In Memory Computing in 2014 is predicted to become standard technology trend for purpose of transformation of data. Data exploration, analysis and sharing will find its way in In-memory database management systems in 2014 and years to come. In-memory option will accelerate database performance, speed and response time which would make it ideal for analytics reporting in mission critical applications.
