Redshift 
Next Generation Applications and Infrastructure

Redshift is a techno-economic theory suggesting hypersegmentation of information technology (IT) markets based on whether individual computing needs are over or under-served by Moore's Law, which predicts the doubling of computing transistors (and therefore roughly computing power) every 18-24 months. The theory, proposed and named by Greg Papadopoulos,  CTO, Sun Microsystems, categorizes a series of high growth applications while predicting slower GDP-driven growth in traditional computing applications. Papadopoulos predicts the result will be a fundamental redesign of computing infrastructure.
