For the development trend of the Communication Industry in 2013, the majority of suppliers, service providers and analysts predict that there will be a convergence trend of Cloud technology and mobility.
However, cloud computing represents different content in many different markets. The emergence of this convergence trend has led to some changes in cloud computing.
The development of mobility means that we can access public resources, enterprise information, and collaborative resources anytime and anywhere. Adding cloud computing-based applications to smartphones and tablets makes full use of these resources seem to prove the previous statements, this allows enterprises to reduce investment costs and increase the flexibility of their work. However, public cloud service models (such as PaaS, SaaS, and LaaS) are still relatively low in terms of market acceptance.
In addition, although the usage of Enterprise Mobile applications is accelerating, most enterprises are still more inclined to buy existing built-in applications, at the same time, MEAP (multi-functional embedded application platform) and Code deployment inside or outside the enterprise has become slow and tortuous.
At the same time, applications of these applications tend to use internal servers, while the app stores on Andriod and iOS platforms still use second servers or external hosting servers, this lags behind the market demand.
Even if an enterprise's app store is essentially a private cloud service and has access permissions on its role, it also has different security levels at the access level, application level, and device level, especially in contrast to the traditional enterprise peripheral security construction.
The next step towards truly integrating mobility and cloud computing will be the setup and deployment of enterprise applications on any device, including mobile devices and non-mobile devices, it can only appear when it is managed and protected by external cloud service providers.
All of the above service providers can be one operator, IT service provider, or one OTT content provider (these groups have the potential for revenue distribution ).
We have made some progress on these deployment modes. Mobile operators and it sp (mobile Internet content providers) are providing cloud service-based app stores for users, provides a dual individual solution based on cloud services that distinguishes enterprise and personal data. It also provides an SaaS-based MDM (Primary Data Management) platform for mobile device services.
In 2013, the development trend of desktop virtualization may be more traditional for mobile devices. Cloud security services will also be clearly extended for mobile devices, at the same time, the Unified Communication and collaboration service will serve mobile workers more effectively and provide people with equal access permissions across personal and enterprise devices.
However, the most important change is that public cloud services will become more mature. Although security vulnerabilities, network interruptions, and instability still become obstacles to the development of cloud services, however, this is not surprising. "Mobile cloud services" still have a lot to do to gain broad acceptance in the market.
