After VDI there comes VMI, the virtual mobile infrastructure

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.

Coinciding with the OpenStack Summit, which is held this week in Paris, Canonical has officially launched its distribution of Ubuntu OpenStack.

The founder of Canonical, Mark Shuttleworth, has described it as “a full autopilot for the private cloud”. Shuttleworth explained that either with one or 10 racks with Metal-as-a-Service (MaaS), you can indicate your preferences of storage, software defined network (SDN) and hypervisor. Then, the system will automatically create a personal cloud and it will manage it and control it for you, keeping it completely secure and updated to the following version of OpenStack when appropriate.
