NetMotion Wireless Get Connected. Stay Connected.
Today’s Discussion • Introductions • Trends – Wireless Data and Mobile Enablement • Challenges • Best Practices • Security • Connectivity • Visibility and Control
Introductions • NetMotion Wireless • Based in Seattle, WA • Software provider focused on challenges of mobile field workers and wireless • Andy Willett • 10+ years at NetMotion Wireless • 10+ years at AT&T Wireless and Sprint Wireless
Wireless Evolution Now Supports “Mobile Office” • GPRS/2.5 and 3G; 802.11a, b and g • Coverage & speeds increase • Specialized Applications • Email and Web • Synchronize / Occasionally Connected • Critically Important to specific groups • Moderately important to others (Web & Email) • Spotty Coverage & Slow • CDPD/RAM Mobile Data/Proprietary LAN Networks • Single Network • Specialized Applications • Synchronization • Critically Important to specific groups • 4G; 802.11n • Coverage and speeds continue to increase • Use of Multiple Networks • All Applications – not just point mobile solutions • Always Connected • Critical to Overall Business Operations Networks Applications Connection Importance Stage III Stage II Stage I
Mobile Deployment Challenges 1 2 3 Security Connectivity Visibility and Control
It’s Secure, But….. • How do I keep secure, but also….. • Combine multiple networks • Use available bandwidth intelligently • Minimize disruptions due to connectivity challenges • Easy to use
VPN Technology • SSL VPNs – Application Layer VPNs • High in the stack • No visibility into the network • Poor performance over slower connections • IPSec VPNs – Network Layer VPNs • Low in the stack • No visibility into applications • Mobile VPNs – Transport Layer VPNs • Transport Layer Application Level Proxy • UDP vs. TCP
Cellular Networks - Critical Blind Spot Cloud Based Apps Internal Corporate Networks Public Cellular Networks Critical to Business Operations Large Investment (Device, adapters, applications) Huge Blind Spot Performance Monitoring Tools and SLAs Need: End to End Visibility of Performance
Network Ecosystem Wireless Network Wired Network Mobile IT NPM / APM Network Performance Management Application Performance Management TEM Telecom Expense Management Cloud Private or Public MDM Mobile Device Management Virtualization MAM/MEAP Mobile App Management Mobile Enterprise App Platform End User Experience Public Wireless Network Measurement on the Wireless Network MNM Mobile NetworkManagement
Visibility • Can’t Manage What You Can’t See • How often, when and where are mobile users connected and disconnected? • What networks and applications are being used? • How is my deployment performing?
Control • Ability to Take Action – Centrally • Create application/process level policies on the fly • Not just by port • Set by network being used AND time of day • Cellular Business Hours • Wi-Fi Non-Business Hours • Home • Set by device AND by user • Block, Allow and Prioritize Traffic • Not just allow or disallow on the device • Ability to shape and manage traffic
Summary • Minimize Disruptions When Don’t • Shield mobile workers from the networking stuff…. • Re-authentication and application drops • Selecting what and where to connect • Differing user experiences when in and out of office • Maximize Odds of a High Performing Connection • Remove the Blind Spots • See. Make smart decisions. Fix. • Carriers • Adapters • Applications and Usage • Take advantage of multiple networks
