Using a mobile operating system (OS) or virtual machine housed on a distant server, virtual mobile infrastructure (VMI), a technology center around mobile devices, executes mobile applications. This essentially turns the data center into a virtual machine that thin client apps on mobile endpoints may access.
Additionally, the virtual mobile infrastructure market is predicted to grow faster. The primary drivers propelling the demand for VMI worldwide are the rising acceptance of bringing your device (BYOD) policies, rising smartphone penetration, soaring high-speed internet network availability, and increasing fear regarding business data security.
The ideas of VDI are extended by VMI, except this time, mobile apps are remotely controlled via mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, phablets, and wearables.
How Does VMI Operate?
The platform hosts a virtual machine-hosted mobile OS that is tailored to it. A hypervisor operates these virtual machines on a single host system. Each virtual machine can accommodate visitors running various operating systems and many user sessions.
The organization's data and network-connected mobile devices are linked through a connection broker. This system manages the infrastructure's lifetime and user activation and authentication in addition to operating native user sessions.
On the same platform, many user sessions might be active at once. Every user is separated from other users in a sealed sandbox, and every approved program is separated from unauthorized apps in the user sandbox.
Benefits of Virtual Mobile Infrastructure:
Good User Experience: The user experience of the mobile OS is maintained since users may access business data using their mobile devices. Access to the virtual workspace for the company is made simple. Experience a natural screen touch on tablets and smartphones.
Single Sign-On: Minimizes the time required to input passwords again in a virtual workplace. Additionally, it lowers administrative costs because there are fewer inquiries to the IT help desk concerning passwords.
Workspace Customization: Each employee may have their virtual mobile workspace thanks to the administrator. Applications for staff members' virtual workplaces can be centrally customized from the server.
User-Based Profile: Customers may utilize any of their mobile devices to access their virtual workspace. Provides administration of user-based profiles.
Easy Deployment: on-premise implementation is offered. Additionally, for simple Deployment, it offers a self-contained Linux-based operating system.
Application Virtualization
The client application and any virtualized phone applications are provided to the user's mobile device in the form of one thin client app. The thin client software works separately from the virtual platform OS and is compatible with any smartphone and operating system.
The user experience is a virtual representation of the programs operating on the server that is shown as a flat image on the user's device. At the device level, this picture cannot be examined or altered. Screen printing, for example, is disabled. Only visual instructions are sent from the network to the device.
Remote apps deliver pixel information to mobile devices, sending key, motion, location, and device information. No applications or data are stored or kept on the phone itself.
