Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs), the leading global provider of embedded virtualization software for mobile phones and broadband Internet devices, and Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS), today announced the “nirvana phone” reference architecture, using virtualization to enable both mobile communications and office desktop-type productivity. The nirvana phone concept goes beyond traditional smart phones by allowing users to access their corporate virtual desktop and applications from a single device, in any location. With support for docking to full-sized displays, keyboards, mice and other PC-type peripherals, nirvana phones will offer mobile workers a complete “virtual desktop in your pocket”, allowing them to take their desktop anywhere without the need to carry around a full laptop.

(BW) We’ve talked about Enterprise/Desktop virtualization and mobile virtualization-> Where do these technologies come together and why?
(CF) We have a growing mobile workforce that has Mobile Needs
(CF) Need for secure mobile access to business-critical data and applications(BW) Why not just use web applications or iPhone and Android mobile apps?(CF) Answer
(CF) Security for a situation when a phone is left in a cab
(RM) Requirement to support flexible provisioning and BYOD (Corp World vs Personal World)(RM) Delivery channel for desktop virtualization onto mobile devices
(RM) The joint solution currently offered by Citrix and OK Labs is M2E or Mobile-to-Enterprise virtualization
(BW) Are we changing the way we work? The answer is clearly yes
(BW) Traditional desktop computing giving way to mobile paradigmNeed to accommodate current global workforceSpawning new form factors, experimentation(BW) Highlights need for truly converged computing and communications(BW) Voice communications, messaging and multimediaEmail and web accessMix of device-centric and hosted enterprise applications
(BW) Chris, What challenges does this new paradigm present, to mobile workers and enterprise IT?
(CF) Form FactorTraditional desktop/notebook form factors too large for ubiquitous portability,Even netbooks unsuitable for the role of personal communications->Not portable enough, not green and clean
(CF)ProvisioningIT staff and workers don't want to provision/maintain/carry multiple devicesEmployees want to leave their laptop home for short trips Users want to choose their own devices (BYOD)
(CF) Rich Media, Enterprise ApplicationsMobile phone screen, keyboard too small for productivityMobile phone experience is a compromiseOkay when mobile, but productivity demands access to large display, full-size keyboard, mouse, etc->
(BW) BYOD presents challenges-> What kinds of convergence among devices will help meet these challenges? Goldilocks
