7 Hot Technologies To Watch At Interop New York

Technology changes fast, and today it's changing faster than ever. Cloud computing, software-defined networking, DevOps, and mobile computing are all transforming the enterprise and shaking up the status quo.

There's no escaping these growing trends. For example, even though it's still early days for software-defined networking, the data center and enterprise SDN market grew a whopping 192% from 2012 to 2013, according to Infonetics Research. That includes SDN controllers and SDN-capable Ethernet switches. The growth puts an end to any question of SDN playing a role in data center and enterprise networks, according to Cliff Grossner, directing analyst at Infonetics.

Infonetics predicts the market for SDN Ethernet switches and controllers will reach $18 billion by 2018, when it expects SDN adoption to go mainstream.

Meanwhile, a Puppet Labs report on DevOps, based on a global survey of 9,200 IT pros and software developers, found that organizations are adopting DevOps at a faster pace and reaping competitive benefits.

DevOps, SDN, and other hot technology trends like containers and the Internet of Things will be in the spotlight at Interop New York Sept. 29 to Oct. 3. Don't miss your chance to get clarity on these trends (featured in this slideshow) that promise to alter the IT landscape forever.
