This year marks a decade in the existence of the
smartphone. This period has revolutionised our relationship to information.
Our expectation in our private lives is for whatever information we want, where
ever and whenever we want it. This expectation has become a demand, one that
hardware and software vendors have responded to, providing ever greater tools
for living and enjoyment.
This demand is spreading into all aspects of our lives.
Accessibility and flexibility is becoming the norm at work. The anticipation by
2020 is that more people will be connecting wirelessly than by wire in
business. Not only does this mean that hardware needs to be of a higher
performance and feature level to meet this increased data requirement, but the
server, storage and networking infrastructure needs significantly more advanced
levels of security to safeguard this new way of working.
