Key aspects for Enterprise Cloud Architecture and Enterprise Mobile Solutions

Cloud computing is a shared service that provides users access to the IT infrastructure distributed through an enterprise network or internet. It involves the deployment of applications and services across private, public and hybrid cloud environments. Cloud services are self-managed and deployed on demand. Portability and interoperability standards hold the key to cloud computing. Cloud services leverage enterprise-class platform and IT infrastructure accessed by developers and enterprises. Enterprise architecture models enterprises with strategies, data, applications, IT infrastructure, technology and business processes to achieve this mission. Strategic enterprise architecture paves way to the right cloud deployment and management of enterprise applications of any level of complexity in IT infrastructure.

Mobile Cloud

Mobile enterprise cloud is the next big thing happening in future in view of the browser-based access to resources to cloud services. Mobile apps are normally downloaded from the App Store and installed on smartphones and tablets. Developers are finding it difficult to develop native mobile apps for multiple devices and operating systems. Instead, mobile phone users can directly access the cloud via mobile browser, which creates a new mobile cloud ecosystem. There is a paradigm shift from desktops to smartphones and tablets, and device-specific installation is slowly moving towards cloud-centric deployments. There are a number of cross-platform mobile development frameworks like Appcelerator Titanium which support multi-platform applications which are viable enterprise mobile solutions for the superior native experience. Enterprise CMS can be integrated into cloud for different mobile devices for creating a Mobile cloud, which are flexible and scalable. According to a research report, one billion end users will use mobile cloud by 2014. It remains to be seen whether some of the major smartphone platforms will create new mobile cloud phones.

Enterprise Mobile Solutions

The enterprise mobile solution is designed to address the complex deliverables in cloud applications which is targeted for the mobile workforce to establish connectivity. The enterprise application can be embedded in the enterprise cloud architecture and it’s the most efficient and effective way to manage and store data at a reduced deployment time. Cloud-based data and applications provide easy access to the mobile workforce while on the move using WiFi and 3G connectivity. Mobile solutions on cloud are designed to provide high-performance enterprise applications in a secure environment. If mobile access and end-user connectivity are regulated through proper mobile policy management, then it optimizes cost, and improves the security, visibility and ROI of enterprises in a cloud-based environment.
