Global enterprises are now delivering cloud-based services to BYO devices (bring-your-own-devices). This is an emerging trend because the most relevant global consumer electronics items are mobile devices. No wonder Cloud has become all the more accessible for employees in such organisations. They make use of hand-held devices to store and sync more and more data into cloud servers; this is streamed later. So IT departments of organisations are striving to integrate personal cloud hosting service in a BYOD environment. A crucial tool that enables the same is Mobile Device Management.

Cloud-based Services within a Bring-Your-Own Environment

* Cloud infrastructure can be built to enable target based services which are available to a wide range of mobile devices. This step calls for the integration of cloud computing along with BYOD initiatives. Such a combination would empower an organisation to acquire maximum business value.

* We know that the primary benefits of cloud services are efficiency and scalability.To maintain this trend,cloud-based applications that are compatible with multiple platforms need to be developed.Ultimately, Internet should be the core platform for all such applications.

* Cloud security has always been a concern that businesses are managing with the use of robust firewalls. Yet, a question arises here i.e.how can we enable a secured data access across scattered devices? As a solution, companies can make use of cloud based security paradigms for identity management solutions.

By combining Cloud servers with BYOD, employees within companies can make use of a broad range of self-owned companion devices such as smartphones, Macs, desktops and tablets apart from company-supplied business PCs. Formalizing the implementation of this model would actually lead to the improvement of enterprise security. In the end it helps in the elimination of unsecured and un managed use of personal devices. So the need of the hour is an active assimilation of employee-owned devices within an enterprise Cloud computing environment.
