Mobile: A Catalyst for TRANSFORMATION

“38 percent of total IT spending is outside of the formal IT organization already, with a disproportionate amount in digital. By 2017, this number will grow to more than 50%.

Gartner, Drive Digital Business with Insights from Symposium, Nov 2014

Mobile: A Catalyst for TRANSFORMATION

"The number of enterprise applications optimized for mobility will quadruple by 2016, driven both by competitive necessity and rapidly evolving technologies that support faster and more secure enterprise 'appification'. The benefits from efficiencies and business innovation on the back of this app explosion will transform industries and markets. At the same time it is clear that the path to broader mobilization of business processes is still complex.

John Jackson, Program Vice President for Mobility Research, IDC.

Platform Architecture

Architecture: Summary

Architecture: PaaS/IaaS

• The platform uses OpenShift 3 as a PaaS layer• This can be deployed on

• Bare metal• Raw VMs• Local private cloud• Public cloud• The physical deployment provides the baseline

• incoming networking/routing (diagram focuses on client app routing)

Architecture: Summary

The Core MAP is hosted in set of • RHEL-based containers on the PaaS• These provide core functionality • used by all apps and services• Developers/Admin Users access the

Core MAP via a browser, • via command line tooling, • and via git push (for code)

Architecture: MBaaS

The Mobile Backend-as-a-Serviceprovides a set of “environments” to match the lifecycle, e.g. dev,• test and prod• Each server-side “Cloud App” is • made up of Node.js code,

caching,• and MongoDB JSON DB storage

Architecture: MBaaS Drill Down

Within a Cloud,App Pods can be• scaled horizontally.• Shared services can • also be deployed • that are used by• more than one

Cloud• App.• MBaaS Services are• one example of

this.

Architecture: Client Apps

Client Apps are routed into the MBaaS• to link to their relevant “Cloud App”• The platform can dynamically bind • Client Apps to new “Cloud Apps” • in the same project• The client SDKs manage complex tasks• such as data sync, queuing requests• when offline• Limited communications to Core MAP
