The world is going mobile, but IT infrastructures are often static. Over half of new PCs are laptops. Over 750 million mobile phones and wireless devices will be sold this year. This means that there are already over 1,000,000,000 wireless computing devices that need a reliable mobile infrastructure. And IT is not ready.
You need a mobile application server with reliable, standards-based synchronization.
Mobile devices are the preferred user platform worldwide, so your next application will need to be optimized for mobile computing. Wireless devices are intermittently connected, yet must be capable of running your applications at any time. To do this, user data must be cached on the device, and must be able to reliably synchronize with server-side data when connectivity is available. But before that, your software application itself has to be kept up to date from the server…and before that, the underlying device has to be properly configured and managed to run your software.
To successfully build and deploy mobile applications, or extend your services to mobile users, you’ll need more than just .Net or Java/J2EE. You’ll need the services provided by a mobile application server:
User Data Synchronization
Software Application Provisioning
Device Configuration and Management
