Cloud computing is used in a variety of programs

Cloud computing and mobile computing are all about migrating from client to server applications or parallel technologies that are data. More and more users begin to access corporate applications through their mobile devices, and of course the amount of data being processed is also growing rapidly. The rapid growth of such data may push the demand for cloud resources. Cloud computing can also be regarded as an effective way to increase the size of server computing.

In essence, a mobile cloud computing refers to a cloud computing with additional capabilities to handle mobile devices. Many companies allow their employees to use smartphones and tablets to access email and calendars. However, few companies allow their employees to use these mobile devices to access and manipulate mission-critical applications and sensitive corporate data. Even fewer companies make mission-critical applications compatible with mobile devices.

Some of the more advanced companies, such as Matson Navigation, a global shipping company, are developing applications that let users access transportation plans and receive text alerts using iPhones and Android-based smartphones for container management. This is a typical case in many corporate applications; data can be viewed from a mobile device but can not be saved on a mobile device.

Rethinking the development of mobile device applications

A company planning to integrate mobile applications must rethink the design, development, administration, and maintenance of its applications. This means that these companies must:

• Decide who will develop the mobile application: is the company's internal team or third-party developers;

• Decide what kind of mobile device the company will support;

• Determine where the application is hosted;

• Create a secure environment for mobile device applications;

• Have a proper plan to deal with the issue of delay;

• Determine what type of infrastructure to use to support the mobile application environment;

• Determine if your mobile app supports mobile apps only or mobile apps first. This means that companies need to decide whether to differentiate their mobile devices from laptops and desktops and consider the environment in which they operate. If they are the same as the visual, then which should be developed first?

If you want to run your application on a mobile device that has access to data center server data, you might want to take a localized approach by first developing your mobile application and then porting it to your laptop or desktop. With this approach, a developer can take full advantage of the capabilities of mobile devices such as GPS. However, when porting an application to a laptop, developers will need to make changes because the laptop may not be able to use the special features on the mobile device.

If you want to run applications on datacenter servers and store related data in your datacenter, you do not have to think too much about whether to develop a mobile device application or a laptop first application. In this case, the mobile device will access the application through a browser running on the mobile device.

A mobile device-oriented world will greatly accelerate the development trend of discrete working environment. Employees will have multiple devices; IT and application developers will face the challenge of writing versions of the application.

Another issue with developing mobile cloud computing applications is availability. Numerous applications, including Web-based applications, do not support mobile devices and support larger devices like the iPad. Similarly, applications designed for a particular mobile device may not support another type of mobile device. This is the value of the mobile platform. A mobile platform such as the Sybase Unwired platform manages multiple mobile applications across multiple types of mobile devices.

Mobile cloud computing to promote development

We encourage developers to develop more and more powerful mobile applications. All you need is a suitable environment for running these mobile applications. The most important point about a functional mobile application environment is the type of infrastructure that houses that environment. Mobile application data must be stored somewhere, and those applications must be managed as well. Administrators need to be able to manage:

• In the next few years, forecast a dramatic increase in the number of companies that are using mobile devices;

• A large number of different types of devices and different operating systems running on these devices;

• Large amounts of data stored - music, videos, pictures, etc;

• Increasingly serious security issues.

Some companies allow employees to use their own mobile devices instead of providing recommended devices for generals. This creates a number of potential security issues that all need to be centrally managed: How can we secure mobile applications? How can we ensure that applications downloaded to mobile devices are not accidentally lost or stolen? If employees are lost His mobile device, what should we do?

Because data is not stored and processed on the device, cloud computing has become an ideal environment for integrating mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing can also bring benefits to developers and users alike. For example, users access cloud computing applications through a browser, which is also largely independent of the operating system of the mobile device. This allows more users to have access to more mobile applications, which also enables application developers to develop different new applications. In addition, as cloud computing can provide more processing power than mobile devices, mobile applications running in cloud computing will become even more powerful.

The future of enterprise-class mobile cloud computing

A mobile-oriented world will accelerate the development of a discrete work environment where more people work remotely. Employees will have multiple devices; IT and application developers will face the challenge of writing versions of the application.

More companies will move to cloud computing as an environment for mobile applications. Cloud computing vendors will have the computational processing power and data storage, agility, secure central management, application mobility and cost-effectiveness variability unattainable in traditional data centers. In the coming years, users will use mobile devices to access and store large amounts of data in cloud computing, so IT staff is expected to see more and more applications of deduplication and storage compression methods.

Software as a Service (SaaS) providers are the best people to offer mobile apps because they already have the infrastructure in place. They just need to adapt this infrastructure to mobile features.

HTML5 development and promotion of applications will reduce or may eliminate some of the problems of mobile cloud computing. For example, mobile apps can be installed directly through the URL, replacing the way it was before waiting for the app to go live and then buy and download it from the app store. HTML5 will allow end-users to access any application on the Web from any mobile device regardless of the platform the application originally designed for development.
