Buzzword Blizzard: The Storm Approaches

January 14, 2014

I marveled at the buzzword to English ratio in “Your 2014 Heat Map for Enterprise Technology.” You must read the article yourself. My focus is upon the jargon in the InfoWorld article. I must admit I don’t have the faintest idea what some of the terms mean, but I would bet 25 cents that most of the azure chip consultants, unemployed middle school teachers, and recent spate of unemployed grads with JD degrees don’t know either. You, gentle reader, are in full command of Baloneyglish. You will have no problems using and defining these terms. The alphabetical selected list of 2014 hoohah is:

analytics
application lifecycle
auto-scaling
back ends for cloud services
Big Data
cloud baseline
cloud data integration
Cloud IDE
cloud operating systems
cloud scale hairball
cloud services
cloud test infrastructure
configuration management
consumerization of IT
control logic
core application code base
data layer technologies
deep layer technologies
deployment solutions
dynamic enterprise systems
event stream processing
ground zero of enterprise innovation
Hadoop frameworks
HAWQ
hydra-headed personal computers
hyper connected cloud
infrastructure technologies
inventive technology
mobile app lifecycle Mobile back end as a service mobile computing
native wrappers
NoSQL
Notifications one large distributed cache
orchestrating data centers
platform as a service or PaaS
public cloud
real time
responsive UI

semi structured data
SDN
SDx (You may want to think of CxO)
server side storage caching
siloed enterprise
social networking
software defined infrastructure
software defined storage
software defined data center
Squoop
switches into drones
systems of engagement
systems of record
the third platform
virtualized infrastructure resources
vsualization
YARN.

What’s my favorite?

Cloud scale hairball.

I might even be able to define that concept with a few references to HealthCare.gov and the UK Ministry of Defense’s Recruitment Partnering Project.
