The Three Pillars of a Unified Mobile Infrastructure
Source: Dell
While laptops are still the cornerstone of all mobile computing strategies, access to everything from computing resources like email to market-specific resources like patient records and factory control systems is now available via new kinds of connected devices, including Smartphones, netbooks, and tablets.
This increased mobility and flexibility brings many new challenges to IT managers. Where IT managers could once limit their deployments to secure machines in secure facilities and build software that had only one pre-determined interface, today's IT managers are faced with a range of challenges that sometimes seem straight out of science fiction.
To most users, it seems like they're able to hold the veritable knowledge of the universe in their hands. But IT managers know better. Behind every svelte and stylish mobile device is an entire IT infrastructure, straining to keep up with changing times.
Like legs on a stool, the three pillars of a mobile infrastructure -- connectivity, security, and productivity -- support the IT operation by providing a strong, balanced foundation.
It's important to consider all three pillars of mobile infrastructure for every aspect of your IT implementation. When buying, say, a Smartphone, it's important to evaluate it in terms of the connectivity options, the security it provides, and the productivity it offers.
