Since the 18th century science fiction writers have penned their own version of the future that we now live in and the technology that would be common place in our time. So common, in fact, that we might take them entirely for granted. Below is a list of common technology and buzzwords and it's conceptual origins in the minds of the early Technoprophets.
Prediction: Platinum Alloy Disc
Technoprophet: E.E 'Doc' Smith in Triplanetary (1934)
“Since nothing material was destroyed when the Eddorians were forced into the next plane of existence, their historical records have also become available. Those records - folios and tapes and playable discs of platinum alloy, resistant indefinitely even to Eddore's noxious atmosphere - agree with those of the Arisians upon this point.”
Technology: CD/DVD
While our disc media doesn't have nearly the lifespan or resiliency described here (manufacturer's estimate anywhere from 30-200 years based on storage conditions), this quote clearly describes a silver disc medium that is used to archive information.
Prediction: Tanks
Technoprophet: Murray Leinster (William Fitzgerald Jenkins) in A Logic Named Joe (1946)
“if you punch for the weather forecast or who won today's race at Hialea or who was mistress of the White House durin' Garfield's administration or what is PDQ and R sellin' for today, that comes on the screen too. The relays in the Tank do it. The Tank is a big buildin' full of all the facts in creation and all the recorded telecasts that ever was made - an' it's hooked in with all the other Tanks all over the country - an' everything you wann know or see or hear, you punch for it an' you get it. Very convenient.”
Technology: Servers
Ok, so it's not referring to giant Russian armored vehicles, but the picture is a lot more fun that way. Servers are the backbone of data centers everywhere. This story envisions the creation of the internet through the “hooking” together of individual machines to create a vast repository of information.
Prediction: Computer Worm
Technoprophet: John Brunner in The Shockware Rider (1975)
“He sent a retaliatory worm chasing Fluckner's. That should take care of the immediate problem in three to thirty minutes, depending on whether or not he beat the inevitable Monday morning circuit overload. According to recent report, there were so many worms and counterworms loose in the data-net now, the machines had been instructed to give them low priority unless they related to a medical emergency.”
Technology: Computer Worm
In this case, Brunner actually coined the term 'worm'. In the story, as in the present, they had become a problem, and were given a “lower priority” to prevent them from grinding machines to a halt. Hopefully, you don't have any of these in your data center, however if you do, you may really need the next entry.
Prediction: ICE (Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics)
Technoprophet: William Gibson in Neuromancer (1984) 
“...ICE patterns formed and reformed on the screen as he probed for gaps, skirted the most obvious traps, and mapped the route he'd take through Sense/Net's ICE. It was good ICE. Wonderful ICE...
...His program had reached the fifth gate. He watched as his icebreaker strobed and shifted in front of him, only faintly aware of his hands playing across the deck, making minor adjustments. Translucent planes of color shuffled like a trick deck. Take a card, he thought, any card.
The gate blurred past. He laughed. The Sense/Net ice had accepted his entry as a routine transfer from the consortium's Los Angeles complex. He was inside. Behind him, viral subprograms peeled off, meshing with the gate's code fabric, ready to deflect the real Los Angeles data when it arrived.”
Technology: Adaptive Security Appliance
These appliances, while not nearly as flashy (bright colors and cards) as the anti-intrusion described by Gibson, are an integral part of any data center and, among other things, protect the network from bandwidth-wasting, and potentially harmful intrusion by worms, viruses, etc.
Prediction: Data Haven
Technoprophet: Bruce Sterling in Islands in the Net (1988) 
“…Laura had never realized the profit to be gained by evading the developed world's privacy laws. Thousands of legitimate companies maintained dossiers on individuals: employee records, medical histories, credit transactions. In the Net economies, business was impossible without such information. In the legitimate world, companies purged this information periodically, as required by law.
But not all of it was purged. Reams of it ended up in the data havens, passed on through bribery of clerks, through taps of datalines, and by outright commercial espionage…
The havens were bootstrapping their way up to Big Brother status…”
Technology: Cloud Storage/Backup Solutions
Though not nearly as ubiquitous and definitely far from the nefarious practice described by Sterling, cloud backup solutions have recently become a mainstay backup for disaster recovery. With automatic, scheduled backups, cloud solutions are one of the easiest ways of creating off-site backups of your business critical data so that they can be easily recovered in an emergency.
