In this presentation, Vaishnavi introduces the concept of SMAC and current trends that she expects to make a major impact in the future. Her interest area is cloud where she wants to prevent data loss because of down times.

SMAC

2. INTRODUCTION
 SMAC is abbreviated as-Social, Mobile, Analytics
and Cloud.
 It is the concept that four technologies are currently
driving innovation in business.
 SMAC creates an ecosystem that allows a business
to improve its operations and get closer to the
customer with minimal overhead and
maximum reach.

3.  Every fifteen years or so, the IT industry has
witnessed new innovations in computing which
have changed the way IT services are delivered
to the business and end users.
 After the mainframe era, mini-computing era,
personal computer and client-server era, and
the Internet era , we’re now in what many call
the fifth wave of corporate IT.
This fifth wave is characterized by a new master IT
architecture comprised of Social, Mobile,
Analytics and Cloud technologies collectively
known as SMAC.

4.  I thought it might be interesting to look at the
trajectory of these evolutions in IT to see what
SMAC may bring over the next several years.
 One of the key changes over time, throughout all
these evolutions, has been the exponentially
increasing processing power of computers, and
the steady growth in the number of computing
devices, applications and users.
TRENDS IN SMAC

5. The current trends that will create a big impact in the
next five years are as follows:
 Social media is providing businesses with new
ways to reach and interact with customers.
 Mobile technologies is changing the way people
communicate, shop and work.
 Analytics allow businesses to understand how,
when and where people consume certain goods
and services.
 Cloud computing provides a new way to access
technology and the data a business needs to
quickly respond to changing markets and solve
business problems.

6. INTEREST AREAS
My topic that I have chosen is SMAC, this is because I
am currently working on my final year project and
the domain I have chosen is cloud computing.
 Enormous data is being transmitted over the network
every minute, all these data is stored on the cloud.
Some clouds experience short term failures or
foreseeable permanent failures.
I would like to improvise the cloud’s efficiency i.e.
data lost should be recovered from the existing
clouds available.
This can be achieved by stripping the data and storing
them in different clouds.

7. The example that I would like to cite is about
the media company Netflix is often cited as
an example of a business that has
successfully harnessed the power of
SMAC.
With the help of Netflix cloud, users can put
their ratings for a particular show using
different social media accounts like
facebook, twitter.

8. If given an opportunity to work as an intern I
would be working on a project that is going to
be the future.
Under the mentorship of senior leaders of the
prestigious organization, it will provide me
high learning ability which would help
me acquire more knowledge.
Aim at performing tasks with dedication,
responsibility and sincerity.
