BYOD; SECURE, MOBILE ACCESS<br />
TO DATA. ANYWHERE<br />
Recently at Citrix Synergy <strong>in</strong> Barcelona it<br />
seemed Cloud and Mobility was the big topic<br />
of the event. In my conversations, around<br />
Cloud Strategy, between vendors and customers,<br />
Mobility is one of the top priorities.<br />
It makes sense given the ubiquitous and<br />
empower<strong>in</strong>g nature of Cloud comb<strong>in</strong>ed with<br />
the <strong>in</strong>novations and breakthroughs happen<strong>in</strong>g<br />
around smartphones and tablets.<br />
Dur<strong>in</strong>g Mark Templeton’s (President and<br />
Chief Executive Officer – Citrix) Keynote<br />
he discussed the cost challenges around deliver<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Mobile Comput<strong>in</strong>g. Whether you<br />
are an Enterprise support<strong>in</strong>g BYOD (Br<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Your Own <strong>De</strong>vice) or a Cloud Services company<br />
or an IT department provision<strong>in</strong>g Mobile<br />
compute products to its customers or<br />
users, deliver<strong>in</strong>g this service cost effectively<br />
will determ<strong>in</strong>e its susta<strong>in</strong>ability and profitability.<br />
In order for a technical solution to be successful,<br />
it needs to address the needs of it<br />
users but also be f<strong>in</strong>ancially profitable for the<br />
Service Provider/IT department deliver<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that service. If it is not profitable then the<br />
<strong>in</strong>centive to provide that service goes down.<br />
Either the quality of the service suffers or<br />
the service ceases to exist. Us<strong>in</strong>g Facebook<br />
as an example, it has been observed that the<br />
Facebook user base has shifted from us<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
traditional browser to a mobile device to<br />
access the Facebook service. This switch has<br />
caused a dramatic impact to Facebook’s ad<br />
revenue bus<strong>in</strong>ess model. Like Facebook,<br />
Cloud Mobility Service Providers have two<br />
variables <strong>in</strong> an equation to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>. The<br />
one variable is revenue attached to the Mobile<br />
Compute service and the other is the<br />
cost of deliver<strong>in</strong>g that service. Given that<br />
revenue streams are flat or decl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the l<strong>in</strong>e derived from this equation to<br />
have a positive slope requires deliver<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
service <strong>in</strong> a more efficient manner. Provid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
hardened security <strong>in</strong> those environments<br />
that need it, like <strong>in</strong> the military arena, will<br />
only add to these cost. The one who can<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>e the three elements (cost reduction,<br />
security, and usability) best will be able to<br />
create the most effective cloud service for its<br />
users.<br />
A great example would be Citrix ShareFile<br />
Enterprise. This is a Mobile Data Access<br />
solution which enterprises can deploy <strong>in</strong>ternally<br />
or Service Providers and adds to their<br />
service portfolio. It allows users to securely<br />
store, sync, and share data on any device,<br />
anywhere.<br />
Recently, Citrix and NetApp have announced<br />
a jo<strong>in</strong>t solution, Citrix ShareFile<br />
with StorageZones. This solution helps<br />
enterprises and service providers simplify and<br />
accelerate on-premises, large-scale data shar<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and storage deployments. Comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
Citrix ShareFile and NetApp Agile Data<br />
Infrastructure is already help<strong>in</strong>g many enterprise<br />
customers and service providers deliver<br />
a cost effective Mobile Data Access<br />
solution. With ShareFile as a new data storage<br />
mechanism <strong>in</strong> the enterprise, end users<br />
can rapidly consume storage with multiple<br />
file versions and desktop synchronization.<br />
NetApp’s efficiency with reduplication for<br />
primary data allows for up to 50% sav<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong><br />
storage <strong>in</strong>frastructure needs, stor<strong>in</strong>g only<br />
<strong>in</strong>cremental changes to updated content.<br />
This all happens without any performance<br />
penalty and <strong>in</strong> some cases delivers higher<br />
performance due driv<strong>in</strong>g up the efficiency<br />
and leverage of the Flash technology on the<br />
NetApp storage systems.<br />
Given the unpredictability of Mobile Compute<br />
adoption and growth a very important<br />
consideration is the overall agility of the<br />
underly<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>frastructure. It is very likely that<br />
the environment built for today’s needs, will<br />
often not be able to keep up with the adoption<br />
and usage rate. Mobile File Access is<br />
very popular and grow<strong>in</strong>g every day. To address<br />
this, NetApp provides a truly uniquely<br />
unified storage <strong>in</strong>frastructure that allows for<br />
the quick expansion and add<strong>in</strong>g of functionality<br />
without the need to retool or retra<strong>in</strong>.<br />
With the rapid adoption and <strong>in</strong>novation<br />
around Cloud and Mobile Compute there<br />
will be a cont<strong>in</strong>uous eye on the economics<br />
of how it plays out. Citrix hav<strong>in</strong>g a name<br />
synonymous with Mobile Compute is <strong>in</strong> the<br />
position to br<strong>in</strong>g a lot of value to the Cloud<br />
and Mobile compute solutions. NetApp’s<br />
unique <strong>in</strong>dustry and bus<strong>in</strong>ess impact<strong>in</strong>g solutions<br />
allow<strong>in</strong>g for unparalleled efficiency<br />
and agility will enable these solutions and<br />
allow the architectures to change and adapt<br />
as Cloud and Mobile Compute grow <strong>in</strong>to<br />
more areas of our personal and bus<strong>in</strong>ess lives.<br />
Beyond the bus<strong>in</strong>ess impacts StorageZones<br />
and Data ONTAP together offer, it also addresses<br />
security concerns around BYOD and<br />
Mobile Data Access. Because this solution<br />
is designed to be deployed on premise it<br />
allows customers to meet compliance and<br />
data sovereignty requirements, especially<br />
important <strong>in</strong> the military. Given the powerful<br />
and enabl<strong>in</strong>g characteristics of Mobile<br />
Data Access, allow<strong>in</strong>g users to view their data<br />
anywhere and anytime, this can also present<br />
a security concern if the mobile device gets<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the wrong hands. This is where rich<br />
security policies such as remote wipe and<br />
poison pill are essential elements conta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
<strong>in</strong> this solution. Most importantly, security<br />
also means prevent<strong>in</strong>g data loss.<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
IT Cloud exists everywhere and touches<br />
many areas of our personal and professional<br />
lives. Its ease of use and access is a clear sign<br />
that it’s here to stay. There are many technologies<br />
which add and assist <strong>in</strong> deliver<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Cloud IT services however it’s important to<br />
choose partners who can enable Cloud the<br />
right way which accurately address the unique<br />
needs of your organization.<br />
