With more than 5.9 billion mobile subscribers and 1.2 billion Web users worldwide, it is safe to say that mobility is no longer the future of networking—it is the reality. To get their jobs done, employees are now using a mix of mobile devices --personal and company owned--for what is known as the hottest trend in the workplace called Bring-Your-Own-Device or BYOD.
The Challenge: Ready or not here it comes
As more and more devices join the network, the ability to control access to applications, protect corporate data, and financially support both new and legacy systems is presenting IT managers with significant challenges. Demands and expectations for performance, bandwidth, and reliable access to applications are just going to continue to rise. Not to mention the host of security, management and legal issues BYOD can present.
If you think stopping BYOD at the front door is a possible way around this, think again. In a recent survey, “Trusted Mobility Index,” conducted by Juniper Networks of more than 4,000 mobile-device users and IT professionals’ reports “many employees circumvent their employers’ official mobile-device policies with nearly half of all respondents who use their personal devices for work (41%) doing so without permission from the company.” Whether you are ready for BYOD or not, it is inevitably here for good with predictions of almost 15 billion network-connected devices by 2015.
