Multifunction Flash Runs Remote Apps On Smart Phones

May 15, 2009

Citrix and Open Kernel Labs have joined forces to deliver remote application execution to smart phones and other devices running Open Kernel Labs OKL4. The secure, partitioned hypervisor allows organizations to deliver enterprise applications via Citrix Receiver, a remote-control application, connected to a Citrix Server. This allows the server to do the heavy lifting while providing a secure operating environment on the phone. The Citrix Receiver and associated data can be wiped remotely if the device is lost or stolen when it connects to the network. OKL4 system isolation will allow users to mix personal and enterprise applications on the same phone.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
