IBM has announced a new analytics solution to its Mobility Services portfolio to help enterprises provide global business tools needed to fine tune their mobile initiatives. In addition, IBM has introduced a new desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offering that brings all the capabilities of a powerful desktop to mobile devices in a pre-packaged subscription service delivered on the IBM Cloud.
According to IBM, the Mobile Infrastructure Analytics Services goes beyond traditional point mobile application performance management solutions by delivering a true end-to-end view into a business’s entire mobile environment. Using analytics applications delivered through a software-as-a-service model (SaaS), businesses gain instant visibility into how their mobile applications are being used, whether by their own employees or customers. The service then delivers insights into any issues that may exist with a business’s infrastructure, which could affect the performance of mobile devices, added IBM.
As part of IBM's Mobile Virtualization, the Desktop-as-a-Service extends the full capabilities of virtualization from the traditional PC to the mobile device, delivering benefits of virtualization for end points with a pre-packaged subscription service that includes the Citrix Workspace Suite and is delivered on cloud infrastructure from SoftLayer, an IBM company.
