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

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

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

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.

8. What’s changing:
How we connect
What we expect
How we work
150x
81%
How often the
average mobile
user checks their
phone each day 1

85%
…of adults expect a
mobile transaction
experience
to be better than using
a laptop or PC 2
… of employed
adults use at least
one personal mobile
device for business 3

9. Agile Application Infrastructure
What are these landscape changes driving?
Elasticity




9
Scalability
 eXtreme Caching – improving
speed and scalability
 Data/cache partitioning and
co-location
 Caching at many levels
Rapid provisioning
Configuration Automation
Virtualization
Cloud hosted
services - MBaaS
#IBMMobile
Data awareness and
real time processing
 Sense and response or
even driven architectures
(Fraud/Marketing/BI)
 Reduced processing – or off
loading to a efficient tier
 Moving data closest to
application (relevant logic)

10. Agile Application Infrastructure
Achieve Elasticity and
Scalability – Application
Infrastructure
Data awareness and real time
processing – require new
architectures and design.
Mobilization of existing
SOA Services
Emergence of composable
Mobile Services
Increase in
Cloud Adoption.

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?

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….
