P2P networks as a predominant technology for data management

Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
P2P (Peer-to-Peer) is a technology that fosters self-deployment and self-organisation, thus, it is reducing operational costs, while it achieves optimised resource utilisation for the deployed applications and services.Therefore P2P network became the predominant technology for the data sharing, storage and management worldwide. Everybody counts on that that the data are situated somewhere in the net, but nobody takes care where exactly it is and wheather it is infallible and secure enough. Nevertheless, potential failure of such system, techical or intentional, may lead to irretrievable loos of data in global scale.

Keywords

ICT, P2P network, Peer-to-Peer, data storage, data management, data loss

Mini-description

(max. 250 characters)

Everybody counts on that that data are situated somewhere in the net, but nobody takes care where exactly it is and wheather it is infallible and secure enough.

Likelihood

Closest timeframe for at least 50% likelihood

Features of life if the wild card manifests

Feature 1: business models and industrial environment
The market of free space and auctions to offer the best price
Feature 4: technology and infrastructure
Best usage of resources - sharing processors half used, sharing free hard disks Process & thrust
Feature 7: security and defence
A big opportunity for a real time big data exchange, but on the other side there is a big risk hacking and on purpose dissemination of viruses.

Type of event

Unplanned consequence of events/trends/situations (e.g. financial crisis, accidental breakthrough)

Type of emergence

please select (if any) describe related trend or situation
A counter trend/development/situation
(e.g. There is a massive decline in mobile phone usage due to fears of health hazards; Considerations of privacy lead to the banning of video surveillance in public spaces

Type of systems affected

Human-built Systems - E.g. organisations, processes, technologies, etc.

Classification

Mixed

Importance

please specify:
