Mobile data virtualization allows enterprises to consistently access business data from mobile applications. It virtualizes enterprise data sources into standardized representations that can be accessed through a single API. It also provides mobile data management capabilities to apply security policies and access controls at the data source level. This addresses one of the major challenges for enterprise mobile solutions in mobilizing business data across different platforms in a secure manner. Mobile data virtualization through an enterprise mobile backend as a service platform can shift operations focus from devices and apps to include managing business data access for mobility.

9. What’s the biggest challenge of
enterprise mobile infrastructures?

10. Is Not Managing Devices

11. We HaveTons of Solutions ForThat

12. And MDM is a Commodity

13. Is Not Building Apps
I want an
app!

14. We Can’t Use Any More Frameworks

15. Is Also Not About Establishing a Mobile Strategy

16. The #1 Challenge of Enterprise
Mobile Solutions Is…

17. Mobilizing Business Data

18. What Makes Mobile Data Access
So Challenging?

19. The DNA of Mobile Business Data
Access

20. Contextual
( Location, Carrier, Device, Network….)

21. Secure
(Encrypted, Signed, Filtered Based on the User’s Identity…)

22. In-Transit
(Real time access, Event-based…)

23. At-Rest
(Offline storage…)

24. In-Use
(In memory…)

25. Consistent access across dozens
of mobile client platforms….

26. We Haven’t HadThis Problem Before…

27. Some models for mobilizing
business data…

28. Mobilizing Business Data =
Standard Mobile Data Access (Developer) +
Mobile Data Source Management (DevOps)

29. Standard Mobile Data Access:
Current Models

30. HomegrownAPIs
Enterprise Data Source
Data SourceAPI
Corp Data Center

31. Mobile Data Access via Homegrown APIs
•Pros:
• Leverage existing skillsets and assets
• Enabler for responsive-design models
•Cons:
• Non-mobile-first infrastructure
• Require the constant building of backend infrastructure
• Hard to scale (development) and maintain
• Challenging to manage & operate
• Lack of standards: DifferentAPIs for different data
sources

32. MEAPs
Enterprise Data Source
Corp Data Center
Enterprise Data
Connector
MEAP Server

33. Mobile DataAccess via MEAPs
•Pros:
• Default enterprise systems connectors
•Cons:
• Heavy and proprietary infrastructure
• Expensive
• Require professional services & training
• Challenging to manage & operate
• Lack of standards: Different connectors for different
data sources

34. Enterprise mBaaS

35. Mobile Data Access via Enterprise mBaaS
• Pros:
• Default enterprise systems connectors
• Private, hybrid and public cloud friendly infrastructure
• Mobile platform agnostic
• Lean and scalable models
• Productized road map
• Cons:
• Lack of standards: Different connectors for different data
sources
• Back-end system knowledge required

36. A New Model for Accessing Mobile
Business Data…

37. Mobile DataVirtualization…

38. Mobile DataVirtualization =
MobileVirtual Data Sources +
Mobile Data Management

39. MobileVirtual Data Sources ?

40. A mobile virtual data source is a
metadata representation of an
enterprise data source that can be
accessed from a mobile application….

• Secure offline-storage
• Offline data management policies
•Management Data In-Use:
• Sign-Encrypt in-memory data

54. Mobile DataVirtualization
Benefits

55. Mobile DataVirtualization Benefits
• Ability to create virtual representations of enterprise data for
mobile applications

mobile solutions
• Abstract the complexity of integrating with business systems for
mobile app development
• Provide security, management and access control capabilities at
the data source level

for integrating mobile apps with enterprise systems
• Mobile data virtualization is
• The next frontier of data mobilization
• A combination of virtual mobile data source & mobile data management
