Cloud Computing Expo - rPath announced “Eight IT Predictions for 2010,” an animated short video that offers a lighthearted view of what the future holds for enterprise IT. The video is available now at http://bit.ly/6lCjug.
“For many organizations, 2009 was a painful year,” said Jake Sorofman, vice president of marketing for rPath. “But in IT, pain usually precedes progress, and that’s what we’re forecasting for 2010 — progress borne of necessity and informed by the struggles of 2009. For 2010, we’ll see many of the lessons of a down economy play out in the form of fundamentally leaner approaches to enterprise IT.”
Despite its comic tone and tongue-in-cheek depiction of IT personnel and chickens, “Eight IT Predictions for 2010” has a more serious purpose as context for shaping a strategic IT agenda for 2010 and beyond.
The video predicts that next year’s IT agenda will once again focus on cost reductions.
For 2010, however, they will be strategic — rather than tactical — cost reductions supported by the eight rPath predictions:
1. Virtualization rising
2. Clouds forming
3. Storm warnings
4. Self-service IT takes shape
5. Conquering complexity
6. Automation expands
7. IT roles shift
8. The application-centric data center emerges
