VMware on Wednesday unveiled a portfolio of end-user computing products to help manage the slew of personal mobile devices corporate employees are bringing into the workplace for use. The products are built into version 5.1 of the company’s VMware View enterprise virtual desktop. In an enterprise virtual desktop, all programs, applications and processes run, and the data used, are stored on the server in a client-server architecture. The front end serves as an input-output device.
WHen it comes to BYOD there has been so much to think about, it is hard to think straight! Thanks for your input~
At the hospital I work at, we have the burden of meeting HIPAA requirements, particularly since many doctors send and receive patient info via text messaging on thier BYOD phones.
This opens the hospital to HIPAA related lawsuit if the doctor loses thier phone or it is hacked.
In order to deal with the issue, we got the doctors to use Tigertext, which deletes the text messages after a period of time, making it HIPAA compliant.
I don't know if this is the best solution for everyone, but it was an easy and cost effective way to deal with this issue.
The BYOD issues that IT departments are dealing with are only going to become more complex in the future.
