When Virtualization Meets Mobile
Posted on February 25, 2013 at 08:11 AM EST
Virtualization and mobile have been two of the largest trends to hit enterprise IT in the last decade. Virtualization from a server perspective has been a disruptive force in the IT world, resulting in VMware becoming one of the largest software company in terms of market cap and analysts estimating that well over 50% of servers are now virtualized. And we all know about the mobile and Bring Your Own Device (“BYOD”) revolution happening in enterprises today. But implementing some form of virtualization on mobile devices is not yet widely deployed in the enterprise market, and to date has been the purview of smaller companies offering solutions. But with recent announcements by major mobile players RIM and AT&T, and with today’s announcement at Mobile World Congress by Samsung of a new platform called KNOX, it appears that virtualization on mobile is turning the corner and will be heading towards widespread adoption this calendar year.
