The document discusses how new workloads and changing landscapes are driving the need for agile application infrastructure. Mobile adoption is exploding and how people connect, their expectations, and how they work are changing. This is driving the need for scalability, elasticity, data awareness, and real-time processing. IBM Worklight is presented as a mobile application platform that can help achieve this by accelerating development, facilitating security, enabling engagement, and providing insights. It allows building native, hybrid, and mobile web applications on a common platform with administration, integration, security, and other capabilities.

- 3. A business in motion must be mobile first Mobile enables the Internet of Things Mobile is primary 91% of mobile users keep their device within arm’s reach 100% of the time Global Machine-to-machine connections will increase from 2 billion in 2011 to 18 billion at the end of 2022 Mobile must create a continuous brand experience Insights from mobile data provide new opportunities 90% of users use multiple screens as channels come together to create integrated experiences 75% of mobile shoppers take action after receiving a location based messages Mobile is about transacting 96% year to year increase in mobile cyber Monday sales between 2012 and 2011 3 #IBMMobile © 2014 IBM Corporation
- 4. Drivers So what is changing the Landscape? New business models and paradigms Social Media goes mainstream Emerging Channels of commerce Proliferation of ‘smart’ phones - Mobility • Everyone wants to be on Facebook/linkedin etc • New breed of personal devices • Defining new engagement Models • Every solution is compared to scalability and availability like social networks • Speed of commerce • Exponential growth of Mobile Devices • Capitalize on ‘perceived’ new markets on social network. 4 • Low tolerance for ‘slow’ experience Globalization!! • Single market for everything • Everything is linked • New System of Engagements • Emerging markets – New Platforms #IBMMobile © 2014 IBM Corporation
- 5. Scalability Scalability is a desirable property of a system, a network, or a process, which indicates its ability to either handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner or to be readily enlarged. (Wikipedia) For example, it can refer to the capability of a system to increase total throughput under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added. Scale up vs. Scale Out 5 #IBMMobile © 2014 IBM Corporation
- 6. Scalability Vs. Performance Scalability Performance • It is the ability not only to function well in the rescaled situation, but to actually take full advantage of it. • For example, an application program would be scalable if it could be moved from a smaller to a larger system and take full advantage of the larger system in terms of performance (user response time/Throughput) • Response Times (Fast!) • Throughput (Increased!) Achieved Scaling up/Scaling Out Not most cost efficient Advanced Tuning? Scaling the hardware does not work in all cases • Larger number of users that could be handled. 6 #IBMMobile © 2014 IBM Corporation

- 16. Designing for a robust Digital Strategy? Why? IT strategy does not equate to a digital strategy. 16 • IT strategies treat technology in isolation. • Silo’ed Approach — on a cloud strategy, social strategy, or mobile strategy. • Meaningful solutions - seek pervasive digital connections in which the individual technologies (cloud, near field communications, mobile, big data, etc.) • Aim - to deliver an experience that looks and feels an awful lot like our natural behavior. • Rich Interactions - more connections between people, places, information, and things (aka digital density), the more customers can interact with companies and each other in a seamless and satisfying way. • Is your Application Infrastructure Design ready for This? #IBMMobile © 2014 IBM Corporation

- 19. Why IBM Worklight? Build "native" , hybrid, or mobile web because the real value is in the platform, administration, up-keep, security, adapters, and integration layer we provide better than anyone else. – Integration Mobile Middleware provides a layer of indirection, which allows for the back end services to be shifted without affecting the end point. - Flexibility Ability to surgically enable and disable Application specific to a platform, administratively provide platform specific messages - Control. Arms the enterprise to adapt and fit into to current Enterprise Security platform ( authentication, authorization and security policy enforcement etc) – Security Avenue to exploit existing services ( SOA Model) and since these services were design for Web Application, Mobile middleware allows for filtering and altering the content, prior to sending the response back to end use. - Flexibility, control and reuse and Optimization of existing enterprise services. Mobile Specific Services - Unified push notification, SMS and devices specific notifications etc, provide an avenue to address these via platform. and more…. 19 #IBMMobile © 2014 IBM Corporation

- #12: Aspirational Framework. MAIN POINT: A DevOps approach to delivery of mobile applications is crucial. DevOps and its set of principles and best practices enables mobile teams to rapidly deliver quality mobile applications that fully engage the end-user, integrate seamlessly with back-end systems of record, and interact with their environment and the systems of operation.This is an aspirational framework – not all teams will undertake all of these activities for each project. But it’s a way of thinking about continuous delivery of mobile apps, and applying the same discipline to this lifecycle as you do any business-critical process.Let’s look at the steps in this lifecycle:Design We start with designing the user experience, optimally using an outside-in approach. (Worklight)Develop We design the architecture and develop the application, using a cross-platform development approach that will maximize code reuse. (Worklight)Instrument We instrument the application for your application for analytics, security, and management control. (Tealeaf)Integrate –We integrate with back-end data, systems and cloud services. (Worklight, Cast Iron)Test –We test the application (Rational Test Workbench)Certify – We use a vulnerability analysis tool scan, evaluate, and certify your application (AppScan)Deploy -- We distribute the applications –using a combination of internal and external App Stores( to Worklight and back-end servers with UrbanCode Deploy; to managed devices with Endpoint Manager; Worklight’s integrated catalog for unmanaged devices, and external App Stores)Manage – Using the Worklight Application Console, we manage authentication, enforced updates, and versions.Obtain Insight – We analyze and improve the effectiveness of your application design by viewing detailed customer usage patterns (Tealeaf)And of course this understanding influences the next iteration of our product design, closing the iterative circle.
