安东尼·珀金斯,CIO对纽约梅隆银行的财富管理业务,非常兴奋这样的前景。“我们正在与Verizon和AT&T在谈论与具有两个电话号码SIM卡的手机,”他说。这些设备是目前正在开发中,和帕金斯说,运营商告诉他,他们将在短短几年 - AT&T拒绝可用性评论。但时间框架是否为两年或10,他说,“这可能是我们要去的方向。”

移动虚拟机管理程序

第三种方法来遏制是创建包括其自己的移动操作系统的实例的虚拟机 - 手机内的虚拟电话。这需要与智能手机制造商和运营商供应商合作,以嵌入并支持在手机上的管理程序。这种技术不是一般的产品尚未推出,但支持虚拟机管理程序的设备最终可能会允许用户将个人与企业语音和数据。

VMware正在开发一个叫做VMware的地平线祭。它将支持Android和iOS,并用作类型2的管理程序,这意味着在虚拟机运行作为对设备的操作系统的本机安装上的子机。

Having a guest OS run on top of a host operating system tends to consume more resources than a Type 1 "bare metal" hypervisor that's installed directly on the mobile device hardware. It's also considered a less secure approach, since the host operating system could be compromised, creating a path of attack into the virtual machine.

Another vendor, Open Kernel Labs, offers a Type 1 hypervisor that it calls "defense-grade virtualization." Open Kernel's technology is currently used mostly by mobile chipset and smartphone manufacturers that serve the military. The company has yet to break into the commercial market, says Redman.

Developing a Type 1 hypervisor that interacts directly with the hardware is impractical, says Ben Goodman, lead evangelist for VMware Horizon. "We moved to a Type 2 hypervisor because the speed at which mobile devices are being revised makes it nearly impossible to keep up," he says.

As for security, VMware is working on an encryption approach similar to the Trusted Computing Group's Trusted Platform Module standard. It's also researching jail-break detection.

Performance won't be a problem, says Goodman, vowing that "VMware Horizon is optimized to run extremely well." But VMware declined to provide the names of early adopters who could discuss the product.

Israeli startup Cellrox offers its own twist on virtualization for Android devices. The technology, called ThinVisor, was developed at Columbia University. It's neither a Type 1 nor a Type 2 hypervisor, but "a different level of virtualization that resides in the OS and allows multiple instances of the OS using the same kernel," says Cellrox CEO Omer Eiferman. The vendor offers ThinVisor to cellular service providers, smartphone manufacturers and large enterprise customers.

存在的问题,并承诺

随着集装箱的一个问题是,并非所有产品都支持iOS版,其中的权力iPhone手机,智能手机在企业中最常见的。虽然苹果已经占有全球智能手机市场的22%,而Android设备的50%相比,这些数字是颠倒的企业:iPhone拥有该市场的60%,而Android设备的10%,根据Gartner的。

Apple's legendary secrecy about operating system enhancements means containerization vendors receive no advance notice and must scramble every time the vendor releases an update. The bottom line: Users may have trouble accessing corporate systems if they upgrade their personal iPhones too quickly. At University Hospitals, says Terry, "iOS changes often cause service interruptions while Good Technology's products are modified, tested, then released."

Directory integration is another area where tools are still evolving. "We'd like to see more integration with Active Directory and with PeopleSoft or whatever the source of record is to control user profiles -- ideally, tighter integration that would disable access automatically or restrict access to published applications based on a user's role," Terry says. Today, businesses may need to turn to integrators such as Vox Mobile to provide that level of integration.

集装箱也可以使其难以为用户提供的个人设备的技术支持,如果它不具有可视性总设备的性能短信的经理和协作的联合银行,它采用适合企业史蒂夫冲说。他指出,有许多难以用集装箱来回答问题:是与信号强度的问题?拥有了用户的存储空间用完了?有没有办法为IT远程访问手机来诊断问题?

“有了手机上的手段剂,它需要不断地在所有的时间收集数据,但是这意味着它会消耗手机资源,” Chong说。另外,它的“软件,现在需要进行管理和更新用户的手机。”

今天,随着BYOD方案要么不使用MDM或使用的是像微软的Exchange ActiveSync的,它允许移动访问用户的Exchange电子邮件和日历基本工具的组织。“下一阶段越来越到MDM。然后[IT]可以查看应用程序的安全性和管理,”雷德曼说。

在凯,一个工作网站和猎头公司,谁想要使用自己的手机的员工可以连接到通过ActiveSync的企业,但下载的数据,除非用户在设备级别这样做是不加密的。此外,它不提供与自己的智能手机连接的用户的支持。

CareerBuilder网站的用户也可以安装,对自己,对应用程序访问的SaaS应用,如Concur的和Salesforce.com。“我们默认为是,”罗杰Fugett,IT高级副总裁说。但随着公司的2600名员工,现在把自己的设备近一半,Fugett说,他采取认真审视潜在的风险以及如何降低它们。集装箱和通用MDM工具是他的雷达。
