Over the last few months, we have started to know more about a new technology called virtual mobile infrastructure or VMI. In general terms, VMI is for the mobile devices and applications the same as VDI for desktop applications.
A mobile virtual infrastructure allows you to access remote mobile applications from a mobile device. With this technology, when a user clicks an icon to use an application on a device, the app appears as usual, but rather than run locally on the client device, it runs in an Android virtual machine (VM) hosted in a remote data center.
Last week we talked broadly about graphic station environments virtualization and the solutions available in the market today. As we already anticipated in that publication, in these specialized environments, the selection of the connection protocol for the virtual graphic stations is one fundamental piece.
There are several protocols in the market that are optimized for these types of tasks:
Work station environments, habitually used by engineers and graphic designers, can be distinguished from the ones used by other users because they are more complicated to manage and maintain, they result in greater use of resources, use a more specific hardware and data security is more critical.
Virtualizing this type of work stations becomes a complicated task since it is necessary to analyze a variety of platforms, connection protocols, architecture designs and specific hardware in order to adopt the ideal solution.
While in a standard virtual desktop environment we recommend performing a concept test, for the virtualization of graphic stations or work stations it is practically essential to be able to commission the deployed platform with full guarantees.
Talking about predictions or future trends regarding virtualization and cloud computing may be a bit risky, since it is a sector in constant motion and where changes take place in a fast and unpredictable way. A clear example is the adoption of containers with virtual machines, something unexpected a few years ago and that is already established as a base technology.
Coinciding with the start of the new year, some experts of the industry’s major companies like VMware, CA technologies or Bromium share their vision on what could bring us this new year in virtualization and cloud computing. You can read their views in this article: 2015 Virtualization Predictions
Today’s technology landscape could have its days numbered. Winds of change are set to blow in the area of cloud computing, network technologies and new developments related to the Internet of Things (IOT) and online gaming are arising. Find below a compilation of some articles that talk about the most highlighted technology predictions for 2015 thanks to Internap.
The cloud has come to stay. According to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Cloud IT Infrastructure Tracker , during Q3 of 2014 total cloud infrastructure revenue for the quarter grew over $6.5 billion, 16 % higher than that in the same dates of 2013.
These data highlight the rise of the cloud phenomenon. In fact, the consultant explains in its report that during the last months of the year one third of the budget spent on “infrastructure of servers, storage on disk and Ethernet switch” was intended for cloud computing.
