Securing Mobility: The Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market Solution

The Ultimate Solution for the Enterprise Mobility Security Trilemma

Every enterprise today faces a mobility trilemma: how to provide employees with the freedom and flexibility they demand, while maintaining IT control and guaranteeing corporate data security. The Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market Solution is uniquely designed to solve this fundamental conflict. By hosting mobile apps in a centralized, secure data center and streaming only the user interface to the endpoint, VMI provides a powerful solution that satisfies all three requirements. It gives users the freedom to use any device they choose (BYOD). It provides IT with absolute, centralized control over the application environment. And most importantly, it delivers an unparalleled level of security by ensuring that corporate data never physically touches the potentially insecure end-user device. In a world of increasing mobile threats and remote work, VMI presents itself as the definitive solution for achieving a true zero-trust security posture for enterprise mobility.

The Secure BYOD Enablement Solution

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a popular strategy for increasing employee satisfaction and reducing hardware costs, but it introduces significant security and privacy challenges. How can a company secure its data on a device it doesn't own, without infringing on the employee's personal privacy? VMI provides the perfect solution. An employee simply downloads the VMI client app from the public app store onto their personal smartphone. When they log in with their corporate credentials, they gain access to a secure, isolated workspace containing all their work apps. All these apps and their associated data run on the corporate server, not on their phone. This creates a perfect "air gap" between their personal life (photos, social media, games) and their work life. The company has no visibility or control over their personal data, and the employee's personal activities pose no threat to corporate security, solving the BYOD privacy-security deadlock.

The High-Compliance Solution for Regulated Industries

For organizations in highly regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government, data security and compliance are not optional—they are legal requirements. Regulations like HIPAA in healthcare and various data residency laws demand strict control over where sensitive data is stored and who can access it. VMI offers a powerful solution to meet these stringent compliance mandates. Since all applications and data are processed and stored within a specified data center, an organization can guarantee that sensitive patient information or financial data never leaves its secure, audited environment. It allows a doctor to view a patient's chart on a tablet, or a financial advisor to access a client's portfolio from their phone, with the absolute certainty that the data is not being stored on that mobile device, which could be lost or stolen. This makes VMI a critical enabling technology for mobility in these high-stakes industries.

The Secure Contractor and Third-Party Access Solution

Businesses frequently need to grant temporary mobile access to contractors, consultants, partners, or other third-party users. Provisioning these external users with a corporate-owned, fully managed device is often slow, expensive, and impractical. VMI provides a far more elegant and secure solution. An IT administrator can quickly create a VMI account for a contractor, granting them access to only the specific mobile applications they need to perform their job. The contractor can then download the VMI client onto their own personal device and immediately get to work. They have access to the app's functionality, but no corporate data is ever downloaded to their machine. When the contract ends, the IT administrator simply deactivates their VMI account, and all access is instantly revoked, with no need to wipe a device or worry about lingering data. This provides a fast, scalable, and ultra-secure solution for managing the extended enterprise.

The Cross-Platform Application Delivery Solution

Developing, testing, and maintaining separate native applications for both iOS and Android is a significant drain on development resources and budget for many companies. VMI offers a clever solution to this cross-platform challenge. A company can choose to focus its development efforts on creating a single, high-quality Android application. Using a VMI platform, this single Android app can then be securely delivered to and used by employees on any device, including iPhones and iPads. The iOS user simply opens the VMI client app and interacts with the Android app running on the server. While the back-end is Android, the user experience on the iPhone is seamless. This solution drastically reduces development and maintenance costs, simplifies the application portfolio, and ensures a consistent user experience and feature set for all employees, regardless of their preferred mobile device.
