Cloud & Mobile
For a year and a half, we have been reflecting on the increasingly pressing need to combine the world of cloud computing with its public IaaS and PaaS infrastructures and the world of mobile apps. Uniting in the sense that the world of apps is increasingly going beyond the limits imposed by the device to exchange data with the outside world, beyond trivial geolocations and/or photo publications. It was and is increasingly needed to develop something on the infrastructure side that helps the user experience relative to the particular app it needs.
Let’s see, for example, how Citrix, published well in advance (compared to the needs of the market), an app on iPhone and later iPad and Android of the famous Receiver that allows you to use the classic desktop applications we are used to in streaming mode through the network and through the famous greatly accelerated protocols of Citrix.
On the other hand, VMware has announced at vmworld2012 for the End User Computing of the
VMware Horizon Suite
offering, the integrated platform for mobile working.
But these two cases describe a particular reality of enterprise-level companies, where the need for centralization is very strong and therefore desktop virtualization and application virtualization are fundamental elements to improve processes and management of both the sw and hw fleet and improve the life of human resources.
On the other hand, let’s think about those who want to develop apps that require data processing, data acquisition, data reading, all from the network and little from the device’s internal memory. Often these are small companies that have a fabulous idea that can explode worldwide and significantly increase traffic. So small companies with very little budget unable to architect, purchase and maintain complex and large infrastructures, here is where the public cloud is fundamental, but you need some resources to use and manage it and perhaps other resources to architect the solution using the series of scalable database, storage, computing services that differ from the classic single vps server or classic hosting.
This was the need that we began to understand and perceive in the market almost two years ago, and we needed some solution that would help the now vast world of mobile developers by simplifying access to cloud computing. Recently we discovered a company that offers a solution in Beta that should serve this purpose.
Obviously American and financed by an American venture capital.
Another thing, very interesting and fresh is this openness on the part of Microsoft towards this union, expanding Azure with a new service
As Vmengine believing in this union, beyond business development plans that however provided for capital support that in Italy is always very complex to find, we are helping its development by supporting mobile app ideas that require the help of public cloud computing, the first case was APPizza, of which you can also find a good article on ninjamarketing.
Soon, however, we will release a new very interesting and very well designed case study of a fairly larger and more widespread app, with considerable traffic, and we will soon be supporting a new and brilliant Neapolitan startup with a very interesting and very useful app.
