We ask senior IT industry executives for their thoughts on the likely confluence of SDN, Cloud, Edge and Zero-trust in the near future.
In this the 12th in the cointroversial questions series, we wanted to hear the thoughts of industry executives regarding the next round of technology restructures.
This is the question we asked:
It seems that there are some technologies that are ripe for confluence. In this instance, I m thinking of Software-Defined Networking, Cloud Computing, Edge Computing and Zero-trust as a combined wave about to crash over a lot of highly-valued sand castles. Once everything is in the cloud, all anyone will need is a client computer (think Chromebook or Amazon Fire) - local execution (of anything) will be a thing of the past. There are some obvious winners and losers here.
