This article by Jon Kuhn, director of product management, Enterprise Mobile Group at Symantec, recently appeared on Mobile Enterprize.

 

Imagine for a moment an enterprise. The specific industry it operates in is not important, but envision a large firm, perhaps 10,000 employees. Overall, this organization is well managed, profitable, and generally thought of as a leader in its market.
 
Like most companies, this imaginary business deals with confidential information: everything from trade secrets and sensitive competitive details to private customer data. However, under the mandate of the CIO, the company does have IT security policies in place to protect this information.
 
If this business were real, the general perception of it would likely be very positive.

April 1st DinamiQs launched it's hybrid cloud portal. The webinar where we showed our powerpoint slide deck with the Hybrid cloud portal sheets where very successful and we got a lot of questions.

But it even gets better.

Last week our datacenter was installed and configured and the hybrid cloud is up and running.

We have a whole crew of people testing the cloud to see if we did a great job with installing and configuring.

And end of the coming week the portal will be opened for anyone who wants to see the cloud.

The hybrid cloud portal will facilitate companies who want to see what it means to have a desktop or applications in the cloud and we also got a lot of questions on how we published SWV apps in the cloud.

Next week we will do a full demo for our partners and then the cloud portal will also be opened for Connect members that are involved in the Endpoint virtualization community.

See and experience how you can leverage...
