Hardware and Network are the two major elements that constitute a computing system, but networking is known as a support layer to travel any kind of data and to establish communication between two hardwares. The software performance could directly benefit from the advancement of hardware, but it is also limited by the characteristics of the hardware. The development of data management and analysis systems largely benefits from the advancement of the hardware and software technologies. IT Hardware and Networking is always one of the most well-established fields in technology, making it easier to plan ahead for advancement in your chosen career. It is also a very broad field that includes a lot of specialist fields, such as cloud and virtualization in modern technology.These days, as per industries demands for software performance also promote the advancements and innovations of hardware technologies. For data management and analysis systems, the hardware determines the performance limit of data access and query processing. Simultaneously, data transferring rate from one device to another is always a major concern, so industries demands to upgrade networking devices' performance, also promoting the advancements and innovations in networking technologies.Today's hardware technologies are changing drastically. Specifically, the advent of high-performance processors & hardware accelerators, new memory technologies and a high-speed network are rapidly changing the base support for traditional data management and analysis systems, and most of the business decisions are based on that analytic performance.There is no doubt that the processing environment within the computer system becomes more and more complicated, and correspondingly, the data management and analysis systems might try to seek diversified ways to actively adapt to new situations.At the same time, the development of new storage technologies has also had a significant impact on processor technology. In addition to the local storage I/O bottleneck, the network I/O bottleneck is also the main performance issue in the data centre. Data management and analysis on modern hardware will become a new research hotspot field.The new hardware will change the traditional computing, storage & network systems and put a di-rect impact on the architecture and design scheme of the data management and analysis systems. New hardware environments such as heterogeneous com-puting architectures, hybrid storage environments, and high-performance network will surely change the base support of traditional data management and analysis systems. It will bring significant op-portunities for the development of key technologies. It's almost safe to predict that the ongoing situation will inspire and speed-up new hardware trends. The enhanced need for new solutions pushes companies and inventors to come-up with new products.HHARDWARE & NETWORKING ­ A BRIEF OVERVIEWBy Yogendra Singh, Head - IT/SAP, Barista Coffee CompanyCIO speaks
