How is the proliferation of mobile devices that are locally powerful, use apps instead of full-fledged applications, and rely on wireless network connectivity changing system architecture design considerations?

What will be an ideal response?


The move from centralized computing (e.g., mainframes) to personal computers changed system design. The current movement of computing “to the edge,” powered by mobile devices and wireless networks, is again changing system design.
The architectures are more network-centric. The apps that provide functionality are often under the control of the end-user, not the IT administrator, due to the BYOD nature of this system architecture. Security concerns may shift to protecting critical infrastructure from infection from the mobile devices, rather than the users’ equipment being infected or compromised by a central source.
