The trends that we have seen in the past such as mobility, cloud, Big Data, tablets, wearable devices and Internet of Things will continue to grow and develop this year. In terms of IoT, we will see a lot more intelligent gadgets coming into the market.
Mobility and cloud together will go hand in hand and grow further this year. We believe Citrix will have a strong story to say in this regard. Storage, security and Big Data will continue to be big trends that will gain momentum in this year. Most of the trends we saw in 2014 will continue to grow and extend into this year.
