Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
A user experience platform (UXP) is an integrated set of technologies used to provide interaction between a user and a set of applications, processes, content, services or other users. A UXP has several components, including portals, mashup tools, content management, search, rich Internet application (RIA) tools, analytics, collaboration, social and mobile tools. It may be delivered as a suite of products or as a single product. The UXP market will fully emerge in 2013, seeded by the existing suite-oriented horizontal portal vendors.

User authentication technologies encompass a variety of products and services implementing a range of authentication methods in place of legacy passwords. Methods are typically classified by the kind of authentication attributes (or factors) that they use, alone or in combination: something known, something held (a token) or something inherent (a biometric characteristic). Authentication may be natively supported in products or services (including other security tools), or provided by discrete software, hardware or cloud-based services.

A URL (uniform resource locator) is the character string that identifies an Internet document’s exact name and location.

Unified threat management (UTM) is a converged platform of point security products, particularly suited to small and midsize businesses (SMBs). Typical feature sets fall into three main subsets, all within the UTM: firewall/intrusion prevention system (IPS)/virtual private network, secure Web gateway security (URL filtering, Web antivirus (AV)) and messaging security (anti-spam, mail AV).

Gartner defines unified communications products (equipment, software and services) as those that facilitate the interactive use of multiple enterprise communications methods. This can include control, management and integration of these methods. UC products integrate communications channels (media), networks and systems, as well as IT business applications and, in some cases, consumer applications and devices.

Unified communications and collaboration (UCC) describes the combination of communications and collaboration technologies. Until recently, enterprise collaboration vendors were fairly distinct from those for enterprise communications, with software companies like Microsoft and IBM dominating the former and telephony and networking vendors comprising the latter. However, this distinction has become blurred because Microsoft and IBM offer voice and telephony features and vendors like Cisco have moved into the collaboration market.

Ultracapacitors use nanomaterials to store a static charge on either side of a vast surface area of insulating material. The voltages are low, but the charge density is high. Ultracapacitors exceed lead-acid energy densities, and lab units far exceed the capacity of conventional batteries. The technology continues to evolve, as energy storage capacity increases and costs decrease. For the data center, we expect ultracapacitors to become an option to replace batteries as the backup power source for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

An ultrabook is a specific type of ultramobile notebook, defined by Intel. Ultrabooks are thin, lightweight and offer longer battery life by utilizing new low-power CPUs integrated with instant-on capability, all without compromising performance. Although Intel is likely to update its requirements for what constitutes an Ultrabook, it currently has the following attributes: less than 21-mm thick, instant-on, minimum battery life of five hours, security features, a screen size of 11 inches or more, and Intel processors based on Ivy Bridge architecture.
