HDS identifies Key 2014 Technology Trends in APAC

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS) has released its HDS 2014 Asia-Pacific predictions that will impact the use of technology among organizations.
 
Big data, cloud, and data encryption are some of the hottest global IT trends. As a region, Asia- Pacific has its own unique economic and infrastructure conditions. We believe these wider technology trends will combine with local business drivers to shape the IT and storage landscape in this region in 2014, said Adrian De Luca, CTO, Hitachi Data Systems Asia-Pacific.
 
De Luca predicted that Big Data analytics will go beyond the proof-of-concept phase and into production in established markets. As the cloud-broker model gains traction in Asia-Pacific, organizations will transform their IT departments from technology implementers to business innovators. Concerns over data security will reach a tipping point in 2014, not only for the mobile data that moves between devices and the cloud, but also for data in content repositories. The Asia-Pacific region will witness an explosion of unstructured data from mobile communications. Additionally, competition between different countries and regions to become the digital hub of Asia will enter a critical stage in 2014.
 
In addition to De Luca’s predictions for Asia-Pacific, Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer of HDS, also revealed his predictions on top 10 global IT trends for 2014.
