I have been pondering the interlinkage between the evolution of the datacenter and the delivery of the mobility experience on our smartphones and tablets. Companies like Amazon and Apple, along with many mobility app providers are living through these two forces that are fueling each other's growth.
Here are the questions that I am exploring
1. What is the organic linkage and trending of mobility subs and applications vs. usage of datacenter capacity and virtualization?
2. Do they DataCenter solution teams understand the challenges driven by mobile apps, the constant roaming etc of the mobile experience? Do they incorporate these or are they mostly focused on providing the best infrastructure for appls and virtualization?
3. Are there good ways to solve problems that touch both ends, such as security, experience optimization, monitoring etc by a single provider? It is interesting to observe that many of the Data Center solution providers do not have significant presence on the mobile client, and vice-versa.
As more services move to the cloud and are delivered into a mobility environment, these questions are going to spawn more solutions, and of course startups...
Chime in to the discussion.... More to come as I explore the space.
