Neurons vs. chips
From the nature of view, we still have a long way. Especially when we look at the concentrated brainpower of our brains look. Gray matter, consisting of neurons with connections between sounds a bit like what we build chips with physical components: gate arrays. Only neurons are biological cells instead of dead matter and again orders smaller than our processor technology.
A few years ago, scientists have a artificial organic brain built on the neurons of rats. This brain consisted of forty to sixty neurons and had short term memory of twelve seconds. A smart piece of biological tinkering. And just as with the Moore’s Law, this artificial brain will also be increased little by little, and be accelerated by scientists. So there is still future is worked out as the technological Moore’s Law.
Artificial Intelligence
Just as we our strength replaced – and even enhanced – by all kinds of actuators that can develop mechanical forces, so we try to replace our own brainpower and strengthen. The microelectronics are the neurons, the intelligence we are using software
Moore’s Law has ensured that the computing power of chips -. At ever lower costs – grew gigantic. This gives us incredible amounts of cheap digital brainpower available we clever and fun things to do with it. Because of low processor cost challenge at this time is mainly to develop software and use that most of the computing power can use. Our mobile devices are now more computing power than the largest computers 20 years ago.
Software Defined
Therefore, the concept is “Software Defined” in recent years become popular. We have much more features to control us by translating our own brainpower to software. We can automate processes and make ourselves a lot smarter than we are by nature. The smart home, digital car, digital world is the result. This takes spiked since the tipping point in 2010, when the smartphone and iPad hit the market. There are at present actually more opportunities than we can come up with are all around the world to make us more digital and intelligent. A very innovative period so.
The digital ‘power plants’ of our information are data centers. They provide the large, reliable, always available computing power and data storage for the mobile world in which we live. The two worlds in that vast mobile computing and data centers of large flow into one another. We call also called a bimodal information world, a term that Gartner has named. They are two essentially different information environments: one is traditional, efficient, secure and accurate while the other is non-sequential, graceful, simple and very fast

Big vs. small, robust and fast
Characteristic for mode 1 – the large and robust IT – software development are large computer systems that are especially designed for stability, security and continuity. The heart rate and digestion of the organization, this requires specialized software developers and traditional development processes, while business needs to be sufficiently involved in the development
The other mode -. Mode 2 – is distinguished by the speed and commitment of the business in the development of new functionalities. It is focused on speed and innovation, and business is naturally very closely involved, because who wants the software directly and should use. They are the eyes, ears and mouth of the organization. Important here are short development times, fast and can make improvements in minutes rather than hours. Time-to-market is the driver here.
2 mode are fast Development Environments required. New, young companies put it on the market, mostly in open source environments. Due to the functionality in a large community of developers to bring under, creates the force of the crowd. Many think and develop it, which quickly creates a high-quality tools and reusable basic building blocks are developed. Here so simple apps are developed with, without having to be itself a highly skilled programmer or developer. The business can, if necessary, itself, as they have mastered the basics. So IT is finally back in business!
Fast, faster, fastest
To speed application support, infrastructure development must also there are capable. You are then looking for automated data centers that can quickly deliver all the required services: standard cloud services that can be rapidly deployed, new storage forms on flash arrays that can read data faster many times and writing, converged systems that speed capacity as data center building blocks supply
In addition to speed in both app-development such as infrastructure, another area also calls for speed:. the world of cyber security. The better you can control and defend real, the safer the infrastructure can be and remain. Rapid detection, defense, and if necessary attack is crucial. The attack remains the best defense.
Speed is the driver of innovation that we currently see. Many, if not all, what we do, can quickly than before. Even so much faster that if you’re not in there lasts, you quickly lags far behind your competitors. Users are spoiled and usually end choose for speed and not necessarily for something better quality or lower price. Smart and fast software increasingly makes the difference.
Software Eats the World “was the title of a book five years ago. The writer Marc Andreessen when it correctly predicted: everything is Software Defined
