Most Secure and Cost effective Way to Protect Mobile Data

Cut BYOD Costs with

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI)

BYOD Access Is a Reality

95% of organizations allow employee-owned devices “in some way

shape or form”1

44% of job seekers prefer employers that support BYOD policies2

$950 - $3,150 per U.S. employee per year can be saved by

implementing a BYOD program through increased productivity3

Mobile Devices Introduce Risk

Insider Abuse

Accidental Data Exposure

Cyber Attack

Physical Theft

VDI Isn’t the Solution for BYOD

Expensive

VDI Shortcomings

PC apps not suited for touch input or mobile screen sizes

VDI = $700/user/year Citrix + MS CAL

Not designed for cellular edge, 3G networks

1 Microsoft Desktop OS $187 per user, Citrix $100 per user

Requires High Bandwidth

Designed for Windows

A VDI deployment will need 4 different Licenses.

Microsoft OS License

$10,000 Per/server

SQL Server,

Windows 2012 Server

Citrix/VMWare VDI License fees

$300+/user

Multiple Annual fees

Microsoft RDP/RDSH License

$170/user

$100/VDA

Expensive storage, Hardware and IT

budgets

VDI was never designed for Mobile

Average cost of VDI is above $1000/user

Depends on MDM, Anti-virus for Security.

Wastes bandwidth. VDI was for LAN, not for 2G/3G/4G

Cut BYOD budget by 90% with VMI

RDSH VDI Server

Hardware $100K $175K

Microsoft OS $50K $100K

Microsoft CAL $171K $100K

VDI (Citrix/VMWare)

$300K $300K

Storage/Network/IT etc

$250K $300K

Per-User $870 $1000

Typical 1000 user deployment.

• Android has no per user license

• Much lower hardware needs

• Easy to deploy with minimal IT changes

VMI Advantages

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure

There is a solution…
