BYOD: The Acceler at i ng Landscape






How m any of you ar e not i ci ng m or e m obi l e devi ces at wor k?

A Quest ion to Star t :






People ar e Wor k ing Di f fer ent l y

• US E m ployees Sur vey show ed 27% of em ployees use do-it-your self tech

• US E m ployees Sur vey show ed that 97% of people

car r y m or e than tw o devices • H ar dw ar e shipm ents in 2015 ar e pr ojected to be

at 300 m illion tablets and 1.1 bill ion cell phones • T he m obile applications m ar k et is ex pected to

r each $33 bill ion by 2015






The Pace of End-user Technology i s Changing

• People ar e used to sophisticated technology • Thi s l eads t o higher expectat i ons

com ing f r om employees about IT • T he w or k for ce is m or e m obile • New applications ar e on the r ise • People ar e using new and differ ent devices

(and br inging them to w or k )





The IT Pr oblem Cr eated by BYOD






BYOD Can Cr eate Pr oblem s for IT Or ganizat i ons

• M ak es cur r ent com puting m odels unpr edictable and unstandar dized

• T he diver sity of devices, applications, and access is challenging to m anage

• Secur ity and efficiency ar e difficult to balance • Changes or additions to cor por ate technology can

br eak configur ations • B udget r estr aints m ak e it difficult to be flex ible w ith

so m any devices • Differ ent needs for differ ent gr oups of em ployees





End-user Needs

• Fast access to data • Flexibility in device usage • Ability to access data from

multiple devices • Stay productive even when

not in the office • Easy and convenient • No fear of data getting stolen

or lost


Easy to use Fast

Convenient





IT Pr ofessional Needs

• Ability to manage data on multiple devices

• Maintain security, compliance, and auditing

• Easy to support • Simple provisioning and

maintenance • Low cost • Satisfy end-user requirements


Low cost Easy to m anage

Secur e





How to Sat i sf y Both Par t i es

• K eep data secur e and pr otected acr oss m ultiple endpoints

• I m plem ent m ethods to contr ol access • M aintain and im pr ove pr oductiv ity


I t comes dow n t o making a plan t o fu l f i l l t hese t hr ee fundamenta l t h i ngs:





Things t o Consider befor e Lever aging t he Cloud






Cur r ent IT Model

• OS, Applications, and User Data ar e tightly integr ated and tied to a single device

• R igid ar chitectur e m eans I T is dependent on standar dized device configur ations

• Any change to the technology can br eak the configur ation and dr ive up costs

• Ongoing budget and com pliance pr essur es and constr aints






The Ideal , BYOD-m inded IT Model

• Shifted focus fr om single device to the deliver y of ser vices

• B etter end-user fr eedom w ithout com pr om ising I T contr ol and secur ity

• Sim ple platfor m that integr ates technology com ponents, m anagem ent tools, and applications into a centr alized ser vice

• Connection of people and technology, i r r espective of devices





Suggested Cloud Solu t i ons for BYOD






Im pr ove what you have now

• Sim plify com ponents by v ir tualizing them • L ever age k ey initiatives lik e OS m igr ations,

desk top r efr eshes, M & A, etc. to tr ansfor m devices into centr ally m anaged ser vices






Vi r tual i zat i on: Vi r tual Desk tops

• Desk top is not on the endpoint, but instead hosted in the data center

• B etter end-user ex per ience • Desk top is available on m ultiple devices, including

m obile • Sim plified m anagem ent and incr eased contr ol • R educed T CO of endpoint devices






Vi r tual i zat i on: Data Center

• Significantly r educe your data center T CO • Consolidate space, uti l ize all available r esour ced,

and r educe unnecessar y cost • Faster ser ver pr ovisioning • I ncr eased uptim e • Natur al tr ansition to the cloud






Em br ace the Cloud

• E x tend your enter pr ise policy to the cloud • M ove to the cloud at a pace that m atches your

available budget and r esour ces

• E ducate your self and your com pany on the best cloud envir onm ent for you






Escape to the Cloud

• L eave behind tr aditional m ethods and tr ansition new application and data ser vices to the cloud

• Use applications that enable the w or k for ce to connect, com m unicate, and collabor ate w ith each other

• L et the PC becom e a ser vice instead of the focus, and eventually r etir e it
