Silver Peak, a company that operates in the distance data acceleration segment, released some of its predictions related to Information Technology for this year.
 
1. Multiple Data Links – MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) links are not the only options to achieve 99.99% availability in your telecom services. The combination between two internet links can be more agile, with lower costs, more quality and can offer equivalent or even better availability. New route-controlled WAN solutions make dual-link connectivity simpler to deploy and even manageable. It will be the year of dual branch links and the adoption of the single approach through MPLS will decline.
 
2.4G LTE – Many companies are already looking at the issue of 4G LTE, as it can offer the necessary bandwidth, with usage-based pricing. Because it is immediate, it is a quick way to reach new locations.
 
3. Software Defined WAN – SD-WAN moves quickly, from the beginning of knowledge of its concept, in 2013, to the implementation of its technology. In 2015, there will be an increase in the adoption of this WAN model – also virtual. While SDN remains elusive in terms of connectivity in data centers, Software Defined WAN is real and revolutionizes the way companies connect their branch office users to applications.
 
4. Networking as software – The software revolution continues in 2015, with companies releasing software versions of their legacy products. More visionary organizations already offer more than 75% of their products in the as a Software model. IT network engineers then realized that virtualization changes everything. Many are already moving towards software-based networking solutions and are realizing the benefits of flexibility and cost savings. 
 
5. SaaS Performance Optimization – The need to optimize SaaS applications will go beyond, for example, Office 365, Dropbox and Salesforce.com in 2015. Companies are increasingly looking for comprehensive solutions for their applications in software format rather than products and/or partnerships that address single SaaS. The Software as a Service model is increasingly sought after by organizations as it supports massive access without compromising performance.
 
6. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – SaaS adoption has become mainstream over the past five years, and now, in 2015, IaaS is expected to follow suit. Companies leave smaller departmental projects to pursue strategic, broad cloud deployments. The biggest challenge for IaaS adoption is the initial process, but a new generation of products and services emerge to solve this issue.
 
7. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) – Although there is still some frustration with SDN, one of the bright spots is NFV – Network Functions Virtualization. Service providers don't have to wait for SDN adoption to reap the benefits of virtualizing network functions. Providers can start virtualizing network functions with software available today. In 2015, we will see more adoption of NFV, independent of SDN.
 
8🇧🇷 Supplier categories – In 2015, we will likely review how we build IT infrastructure. The blurring of boundaries between the Internet, the cloud and corporate networks forces the convergence of these concepts, with CDN and network management and cloud services. Products and services will gradually stop being delivered in boxes to be implemented as software within companies.
 
9. Neutrality – A big change in terms of telecommunications concerns the idea of neutrality. Consumers have already realized, for example, that they buy a video from a company that does not own the material, it is just a content provider. Likewise, software defined WAN (SD-WAN) makes companies rethink the way they build their WAN network. In 2015, more companies will migrate to the SD-WAN model.
 
10. Cloud intelligence services – As companies move to SaaS and IaaS adoption, they become increasingly reliant on the internet. Data traffic performance becomes even more important. In 2015, more cloud intelligence services will emerge to detect the level and quality of internet service.
