One of the early challenges of the Internet age was that of transforming legacy applications into Web-facing apps that employees and customers could access from the convenience of a desktop browser. With the rise of mobile computing and the BYOD (bring your own device) movement, companies face a similar, albeit more complex version of that problem: securely extending both legacy and cloud-based apps to the increasing array of smartphones and tablets.

Among HP's announcements is a new mobile-focused version of HP Anywhere, the company's platform for building, distributing, and managing mobile application development for the enterprise. Developers can work with such standards as HTML5, JavaScript, and Apache Cordova; the platform also supports Sencha Touch, Enyo, and jQuery Mobile. HP Anywhere integrates with SAP Afaria and supports application authentication via integration with Layer 7 Technologies, according to HP. It includes a secure container structure for authorized user access and policy management as well.
HP also announced the HP Anywhere Developer Zone, designed to provide developers access to HP SDKs, demo applications, and application cookbooks. HP envisions developers using the Developer Zone to share best practices, tools, and techniques for building mobile apps for the HP Anywhere platform.
In addition, HP revealed enhancements to its Application Performance Management portfolio, designed to monitor all aspects of mobile services, from application performance to the availability of the underlying architecture. The APM upgrade includes a new version of HP Real User Monitoring (RUM) 9.22 and advanced monitoring capabilities for HP Performance Anywhere 1.1, HP's SaaS-based application performance management solution.
