In the future, the current
trend to Widgets and end-user data integration will continue and user demands
will increasingly call for easy access to all data at any time and using any
device.
The functionality offered by cell
phones or mobiles will continue, with Apple’s iPhone
expected to maintain its position of leadership.
This situation is shown in
the following diagram, with four very different perspectives being seen by groups :-
1)
Suppliers
2)
Users
& Organisations
3)
University
Research Departments
4)
Students
In the future, Databases will
be accessible at any time and from any location using any Device.
This diagram shows how
real-time links can be provided to all Databases.
In addition, more data types,
built-in compatible Data Models in the Clouds, mix-and-match selection of
required Tables, with Platforms for Vertical Applications and creation of Data
Marts. generation of Data and built-in resolution of
the impedance mismatch between the Relational and Object approaches.
Conceptually, there will be an Integrated Data Platform, with a range of
superimposed Data Service Layers.
Databases will come equipped
with self-correction, self-monitoring and self-tuning.
This Architecture features
three Levels.
Gartner predicts that within
a few years, 80% of all Enterprises will have at least some involvement in
Cloud Computing.
Our thinking should therefore
encompass Scenarios where some of our data will be located in the Clouds.
Data Integration and Data
Quality must provide for integration with Cloud data.
This diagram shows that Data
Sources and Data Quality On Demand Services can be in
the Clouds.
