3. Personal Cloud
Personal cloud will gradually replace the PC as
the location where individuals keep their personal
content, access their services and personal
preferences and center their digital lives.
The unique collection of services, Web
destinations and connectivity that will become the
home of their computing and communication
activities.

4. Hybrid IT and Cloud Computing
Cloud will increasingly be hybrid, managed, and
brokered.
Taking private clouds and building a management
platform for them, and then using that to manage
both internal and external services.

6. Personal Cloud : Replacing PC
The era of the personal cloud.
The specifics of devices will become less
important for the organization to worry about.
Users will use a collection of devices, with the PC
remaining one of many options, but no one
device will be the primary hub.
Access to the cloud and the content stored or
shared in the cloud will be managed and secured,
rather than solely focusing on the device itself.

You define your own terms of service for anybody
interacting with the data or the apps on your
personal cloud. You can easily move your
personal cloud to a competing hosting vendor if
you so desire.
PC: You decide when to turn your computer on
and off. Nobody can use your computer, your
data or your apps, unless you let them. You can
easily exchange one vendor's hardware with
another's if you so desire..

17. Personal Cloud : Peripherals
The set of personal devices that are "hooked up"
via the personal cloud, i.e., registered with and
permissioned to use the personal cloud (e.g.,
laptop, smartphone, smartTV, smartcar, life
tracking device, blood pressure monitor etc.).
PC: The set of devices that are "hooked up" to
the PC in order to input and output data (e.g.,

18. Personal Cloud : Network(s)
What the personal cloud is connected to in order
to communicate with other personal clouds and
servers to exchange messages and share data.
This is not just the Internet, but will include one or
more trusted data interchange networks designed
expressly for personal cloud connections..
PC: What the PC is connected to in order to
communicate with other PCs and servers to
exchange messages and share data. For most
PCs, this is a local network connected to the
Internet. 18

20. Megatrend No. 1: Consumerization
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.
Users are more technologically savvy and have
very different expectations of technology.
The Internet and social media have empowered
and emboldened users.
The rise of powerful, affordable mobile devices
changes the equation for users.
Users have become innovators.

21. Megatrend No. 2: Virtualization
Changing How the Game Is Played.
Virtualization has, to some extent, freed
applications from the peculiarities of individual
devices, operating systems or even processor
architectures.
This provides low-power devices access to much-
greater processing power.

22. Megatrend No. 3: App-ification
From Applications to Apps.
the way that applications are designed, delivered
and consumed by users changes.
raise the prospect of greater cross-platform

23. Megatrend No. 4:
The Ever-Available Self-Service Cloud
Every user can now have a scalable and nearly
infinite set of resources available for whatever
they need to do.
Users can now store their virtual workspace or

applications, services and content, selecting from
a nearly limitless collection on the Internet.

24. Megatrend No. 5: The Mobility Shift
Wherever and Whenever You Want.
Today, mobile devices combined with the cloud
can fulfill most computing tasks, and any
tradeoffs are outweighed in the minds of the user
by the convenience and flexibility provided by the
mobile devices.
Touch- and gesture-based user experiences,
coupled with speech and contextual awareness,
are enabling rich interaction with devices and a
much greater level of freedom.

25. Consumers spend over $2 trillion a year on
content, devices and services,
and the emergence of personal clouds reflects
their desire to access content
on any device without
complications or restrictions.
