\nHe identified the others as robotics, next generation security and Internet of Things (IoT).
\nThe Tide\u2019s source reports that the third platform is the next phase of the IT revolution.
\nThe first platform is the mainframe computer system, which began in the late 1950s.
\nThe second is the Personal Computers (PC) which dominated the IT landscape from 1985 to 2005.
\nThe third platform is being built on mobile computing, social networking, cloud services, and Big Data analytics technologies.
\nLalchandani said that the key trends would bring about disruption in businesses evidenced in the datacenters\u2019 transformation from 2013 to date.
\nAccording to him, datacenters transformed from standards managed in 2016-2017 and to cloud in 2018-2019.
\nHe described the IT trends as a game changer for organisations.
\nAccording to the official, two-thirds of IT firms would be driven by the third platform with this transformation by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
