Here Comes Another Buzzword
August 27, 2013
By reading the title, you might be asking what the new buzzword is. Take a look at Information Week’s article, “Big Data Ushers In ‘Virtuous Cycle Of Computing’” for the answer. The beginning of the article mentions that we are heading into an age of cloud computing that increase the amount of users and devices. Intel is responsible for the term “virtuous cycle of computing” that means a “system of events that reinforces itself in a continuous loop. Right now this refers to big data. Intel senior VP Diane Bryant that recent big data surge is because of the growing demand of end-user and machine-to-machine devices.
Business-to-business hardware is in high demand, which then causes the sharing of large data amounts of data.
“Bryant estimated that more than 14 billion devices will come online by 2016. Five billion of them will be consumer machines such as tablets and smartphones; the other 9 billion will be machine-to-machine hardware. ‘As those devices come online, they require a connection back to the data center,’ she said. ‘For every 600 phones, you’re going to need another server in a data center. For every 120 tablets, you’ll need a server.’ “
Data in the palm of your hand with reliable Internet services everywhere. Can anyone else say magic? At least it feels like it. The perpetuation of the virtuous cycle of computing only means more reliable devices and better transference of data. Wait until they develop the holographic UI.
