No, I am not suggesting refugee status for administration
appointees, rather I am reflecting on the benefits that could be achieved if
the Obama administration went to stateless computing. It seems like a good fit since Barack Obama was
the first presidential candidate to wholeheartedly embrace the Internet and
social media for fundraising and networking.
These tools, especially Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, were instrumental
in successfully engaging and communicating with diverse audiences throughout
the campaign.
President Obama's use of technology is inspiring, and will
likely change how
President Obama's use of technology will certainly keep him plugged in, more so
than any of his predecessors.
But with "access," there are significant security concerns, such as
the risk of eavesdropping, hacking and other breaches. Keeping the President - and
his technology - secure is a daunting task, especially when he is dependent on
"fat" endpoint devices.
This got me thinking, instead of a laptop, what if Obama
Administration officials utilized
SNAPbooks
(or any combination of our SNAP devices) powered by our universal
cloud computing platform?
The SNAPbook offers a "laptop-like,"
non-processing and fully-stateless device that would allow government officials
to securely access their entire desktop from anywhere, using their SIMtone user
ID. Additionally, utilizing any of our other SNAPs, all of their
applications and data would be fully accessible across any device.
Through our universal cloud computing platform, all of the
intelligence is delivered via the cloud, providing on-demand access while
mitigating potential security risks. Security benefits include lack of
data at rest on mobile devices; centralized configuration control for easy
patching and updates; invisibility on the Web; and centralized control over
input-output devices. And widespread deployment of this technology could
save billions through huge reductions in operating and capital expenses.
The good news about the SNAPbook (and our other SNAPs) is
that you don't have to be the President of the
I will keep you posted on our progress.
In the meantime, I look forward to watching our new
President continue to push the technology envelope in the years ahead.
