According to Gartner, the new iPhone 3G S and version 3.0 of the iPhone software go a long away towards addressing the concerns IT managers have about allowing iPhones into the corporate IT environment, but shortcomings remain. Gartner however stresses that these apply only to enterprises wanting to integrate mobile devices into their IT infrastructure, and that it considers the iPhone perfectly acceptable for applications such as email, calendar and web browsing.

Network traffic compression is becoming increasingly an issue for corporations looking to squeeze as much bang-for-buck from their IT departments as possible. With WAN acceleration as an offshoot, this real life example shows ways in which bandwidth can be better utilised to deliver high rates of data at good speeds. Effective WAN capacity can be multiplied with a relatively cheap solution, such as the Juniper WX range of devices, but there are pitfalls.
