If there is one thing the global tech community is waiting with bated breath, it has got to be the Google Glass. Initial reports suggest that people seem to either love it or loathe it. Some are already developing apps to do amazing things with the glass. Some want to punch anyone wearing google glass in the face!
We have read numerous overzealous articles and seen videos of Google Glass in an archery range, a toddler wearing Google Glass and Robert Scoble taking a shower with the glasses on. People have documented their date wearing the glasses. But how is Google Glass going to affect the way we work?
When the day comes, I’m pretty sure organizations will be generating tonnes and tonnes of data through ways never even dreamed of. Imagine your organization’s sales head walking into the conference room and saying, “Ok glass, present Q2 sales deck!” and the projector lighting up the dim lit room. I’m sure there are more endless possibilities where Google Glass is going to change the way the world works.
Last year around this time, Domo told us that each minute, we send around 204,166,667 emails, consumers spend $272,070 online and Twitter users send around 100,000 tweets. This was last year and in an era when there was no wearable technology. There is still no consumer wearable technology. But once Google Glass and the equally awaited iWatch happens, as technology pundits foresee, it might just change the way we generate and consume content.
So what does it mean for MSPs and CSPs?
For starters, there is going to be a humongous surge in the scale of cloud services required by organizations, especially in the field of data storage, disaster recovery and sync. And then there is always the necessity of data centers where all infrastructure (including storage, network and security) is virtualized and delivered as a service.
So as an MSP, are you ready to cater to the exponential rise in demand for cloud services? These are newer avenues and the best way for MSPs and CSPs to explore these avenues is to first creating the demand.
How else do you think wearable technology is going to change the enterprise landscape or change the cloud services scenario? Please feel free to share the same in the comments below.
