Actually, it starts and ends with a LOT of mobile devices

Mobile-broadband subscriptions have grown 45% annually over the last four years and today there are twice as many mobile-broadband as fixed-broadband subscriptions.

The number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the world’s population in 2012; and monthly global mobile data traffic will surpass 10 exabytes in 2016.

Fun Fact: By the end of 1999, the sum of human-produced information (including all audio, video recordings and text/books) was about 12 exabytes of data, according to Berkeley study.

Type 2 Mobile Sync

The ultimate home of the data for a business application is not on the device, but is a central data store in the cloud.

16

Challenges

Which data – temporal, spatial, user?

Bandwidth conservation

Scalability of consolidated store

Conflict detection and resolution

Battery and memory conservation

Selection performance

Deletion propagation

Schema evolution

Referential integrity on interruption

New user provisioning

Security

Hard at “enterprise scale.” Excruciating at “web scale.”
