Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
Software technology used to create and store simple and complex navigational paths across computerized data. When the text is “clicked on,” it can enable a user to navigate within or between Web pages.
Industry:Technology
A file transfer protocol that sends data in a steady stream, rather than in packets, with built-in error correction and data compression.
Industry:Technology
An area on a Web page that, when clicked on with a mouse, will transport the user to another Web page. Also called “links” or “hot links,” hyperlinks are analogous to hypertext. Hyperlinks are commonly used on the Web to provide navigation, reference and depth where published text cannot. A hyperlink can be created from text or from a graphic.
Industry:Technology
A Gartner model designed to help clients make intelligent decisions about when to implement emerging technologies. The Gartner Hype Cycle provides not only a scorecard to separate hype from reality, but also a model that can be used to decide when it makes sense for an enterprise to move forward with a new technology. The five phases in the Hype Cycle are:
* Technology Trigger
* Peak of Inflated Expectations
* Trough of Disillusionment
* Slope of Enlightenment
* Plateau of Productivity
Industry:Technology
A hydrogen vehicle is an alternative fuel vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel. Hydrogen vehicles’ powertrains convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy by burning hydrogen in an internal combustion engine or by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to run electric motors.
Industry:Technology
Hydrogen economy is a vision of an energy delivery infrastructure based on hydrogen as a carbon-free energy carrier. Fuel cells would generate electricity from hydrogen with heat and water vapor as byproducts. An alternative energy economy in the form of a parallel power and transportation infrastructure is needed, including technical solutions for energy-efficient hydrogen production, storage technology and delivery infrastructure.

Hybrid unified communications and collaboration (UCC) allows enterprises to procure UCC services through several deployment models, while supporting the seamless service integration needed to deliver a UCC experience to users, for example, by blending traditional on-premises, public cloud and private cloud deployment models. Hybrid UCC allows organizations to select different procurement models for different UCC functionality. Hybrid UCC can also support adoption of different procurement models for different user roles within the organization.
Industry:Technology
Gartner defines the concept of hybrid thinking as an organic discipline for taking on wicked problems by iteratively implementing transformative, innovative, and strategic change via the co-creative exploration of human-centered experiences that are culturally meaningful, technically feasible, and economically sustainable.

A hybrid storage appliance is a physical or virtual storage caching system that destages local or on-site data storage to the cloud instead of to back-end disks. In every other way, it behaves as a storage system. The term “hybrid” describes the fact that the appliance combines local storage with cloud storage, usually public cloud storage that is geographically distant from the appliance. From a data flow perspective, it is a storage target or an in-band appliance that intercepts all input/outputs (I/Os) to and from a virtual volume or file system. From a storage system perspective, it uses sophisticated cache management algorithms to minimize data flows to and from the cloud by satisfying as many I/Os as possible from local storage. Data is compressed or deduplicated in the appliance to increase its effective cache capacity, and when data is actually transferred to or from the cloud, WAN-optimized controller (WOC) techniques are often used to reduce the impact of link latency on performance.
Industry:Technology
Hybrid Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Internet WAN models combine the use of two major Internet Protocol (IP) WAN technologies, commonly carrier MPLS networks and IPsec virtual private networks (VPNs) over Internet infrastructure, in a consolidated enterprise WAN. While Internet-based VPNs are commonly used for smaller offices, and MPLS tends to be the basis of major corporate network backbones and larger offices, this approach uses both network types at a specific site.
