Chapter 5 Section 2, Virtualization{0}
My article which is titled “Red Bend Software Enters Mobile Virtualization Market with Acquisition of VirtualLogix,” is about the upcoming growth of mobile virtualization. Red Band Software, the market leader in mobile software management is taking over VirtualLogix who is a leading provider of Real-Time Virtualization technology for mobile devices. The Mobile industry is one of the top industries and it is growing at a fast rate. Everyone who owns a cell phone knows what it is like to want the newest software and devices that are out there. These types of things do not come cheap. Red Band sees the challenges of the demand for smarter, richer, and faster devices while bringing affordable, exciting mobile services to enterprises and consumers. They have figured out a way to meet this challenge by combining their mobile management products with VirtualLogix mobile virtualization software. This will enable each person through mobile virtualization who owns a mobile device to securely and independently manage their different software resources on their mobile devices. In all mobile virtualization will create cost reduction, better functionality, and security for mobile devices. Although mobile virtualization is still in its early stages for the company, Red Band’s CEO explains, that “Red Band has trusted customer relationships, technical experience, operations infrastructure and proven execution abilities to take mobile virtualization to the next level,” (Marketwire)
This article relates back to chapter five section two because one of the main subjects in this section is virtualization and system virtualization. As stated in the text “Through virtualization, people, processes, and technology work together more efficiently to meet increased service levels.” (Baltzan, 2011) This relates to the article because through mobile virtualization this is all possible, but the process can be quicker and easier because you would be using your mobile device instead of needing to be at home on your computer.
The reason why I liked this article is because it was something new for me to learn about; this was something I never knew existed until now. Also, because mobile virtualization is something I wish I had on my own mobile device.
