In the client-server era the focus shifted to decentralisation and powering a large number of different types of applications each requiring (or so the thinking was) it’s own silo. The mainframe era was defined by highly centralised, highly controlled IT infrastructures that were meant to connect a relatively small user population to a small number of applications (mainly data processing). If we look back (and generalise a bit) we can define two big computing architectures that defined IT in the past, these are the Mainframe era and the Client-Server era, more recently we are moving more and more towards a third computing architecture called the Mobile-Cloud era. So first things first, what exactly is the “Mobile Cloud Era”? In this post I want to provide an overview of what this means for VMware’s customers.
Yesterday at VMware’s Partner Exchange (PEX), VMware announced that it is joining forces with Google to modernize corporate desktops for the Mobile Cloud Era by providing businesses with secure, cloud access to Windows applications, data and Desktops on Google Chromebooks.
