Gartner's Top 10 Technologies for 2009
Gartner has nominated its top ten technologies for 2009:
Virtualization
Business Intelligence
Cloud Computing
Green IT
Unified Communications
Social Software and Social Networking
Web Oriented Architecture
Enterprise Mashups
Specialized Systems
Servers – Beyond Blades
As usual, the list contains broad concepts that are no surprise like "Green IT", some hot technologies like "
Enterprise Mashups", and some cryptic references that required further reading of Gartner's material to understand. Sadly, no mention of
Database Sharding, although the general area is covered well by Web Oriented Architecture - the driving force behind
Database Sharding.
