This year at many industry conferences the future of networks will be the topic of choice, this owes in part to key trends and the introduction of new communication based technology. At their annual summit, Britannic Technologies covered cloud-based technology and industry insiders like HP and Cisco have released what they think the future changes and motivating trends within the communication market will be.
With the emergence of cloud-based sharing technology, many professionals in the communications industry believe this is where the future of networking lays. The traditional network systems communication technology providers employ currently transmit information through packets over a unified network. This requires rigorous organisation, and with many network centres providing services for multiple clients, can prove to be too much for communication companies.
Many industry professionals see cloud-based sharing as the replacement for this service. It also comes with the potential to include other processes like running applications which traditional network systems can't provide.
What will happen to ethernet network systems? Since computers were introduced in the eighties to the consumer market this technology has been stalwart and has shown little change since. The current speed for an ethernet network is 10 gigabytes a second. However, industry experts warn that in the future it will need speeds of a least 40 gigabytes or more to be of use. Some other experts believe that ethernet networks will continue to remain in use, but will transmit information over core internet systems rather than wider networks.
It has continually been a concern that network system security is too weak. However with network systems mainly used by business professionals, any doubts on security have been pushed to the foreground. With network systems become a lot more commercialised and more professionals conducting business over the internet, the threat to network providers from hackers and viruses might be altogether more aggressive than experienced previously. Many industry experts predict more complex security plans as a result of this and these will be incorporated into the future architecture of network systems.
