With
the increasing numbers of tablet computers and e-readers prevalent in
the market today, it is difficult to believe that it’s a new
technology. Research studies reveal that consumers quickly embrace
tablets as they did Smartphone’s, appreciating the technology for
its mobility, simplicity of use, instant access to files, books, and
the internet. According to Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and
eReader Tracker that is monitored by the International Data
Corporation, global tablet shipment increased by 88.9 percent
sequentially and 303.8 percent annually in the second quarter of 2011
to approximately 13.6 million units.
While
mobile phone usage has been increasing for years and most Americans’
cell phones became Smartphones by 2012, tablet
access is
now overshadowing the Smartphone numbers three times with the Apple
iPad to iPhone adoption. Hence, one can say that the computing
platform along with our individual lifestyles is going away from
desktops and even laptops, with users depending heavily on
Smartphones and tablet access devices for staying connected with
others, sharing information and even doing daily business.
Increasingly, the high executives and the mobile workers too are
giving up the laptop for a tablet access, Bluetooth keyboard and a
suite of applications to get on with the day’s work while being a
part of a conference or any other event. The consumer and end user
expectations are very high in terms of browsing a website for data
purposes, to finish a task and make a donation or purchase. They
expect a browsing experience similar to the simple and perceptive
navigation that is prevalent in purchasing a book on Amazon or
experience the compact visual experience in a social networking site
like Twitter or Facebook. On the other hand 16 percent of enterprises
had a BYOD (Bring
Your Own Device)
policy in 2011 as compared to 8 percent in 2010. The modern day
employees want tablet access and most forward thinking enterprises
are resorting to tablets for the workforce quickly.
Secure
Tablet Access for Enterprise Desktop Applications
The
security and the absence of native mobile applications for business
are two critical hassles in the way of enterprise mobility. Though
the native applications for businesses are rising in quantity, the
majority of applications still operate in a conventional environment
for instance laptops, desktops, terminal servers and virtual
architecture. Today service providers of application
delivery controllers have
come up with tablet access solutions that help to mobilize the
desktop applications with a remote RDP access (remote desktop)
allowing companies and individuals to implement the solutions and
leverage from the present infrastructure.
Advanced
tablet access solutions publish the enterprise applications in a
secure manner for it to be used on mobile devices. Regardless of
whether your applications are functioning on desktop PC’s, virtual
architectures, laptops or terminal servers these solutions offer
identity-based access from any mobile device to certain enterprise
application in a way that simplifies the user experience, enhances
the security and functional efficiency.
