IBM Worklight – Good Dynamics Integration (positioning)

Why Good for a Worklight Customer

For enterprises in regulated industries with rigorous compliance requirements, Good Dynamics provides the secure connectivity and management needed for the Security Office to extend the mobile application development platform provided by Worklight

Why Worklight for a Good customer

The customer wants to work with a product that provides a development platform that is more than a library/SDK and provides an end to end story for developing, testing, monitoring and managing mobile applications. Hence by introducing Worklight to an existing Good customer they are able to deliver a holistic development platform

FAQ» Are there any overlapping Worklight / Good Dynamics functions?

Good acts as transport layer, securing data in transit. Think of it as the plumbing. Good enforces your secure connectivity policies for device to enterprise communication. It’s orthogonal to the actual application lifecycle concerns.

» Will there be any effect on latency? From a Good Dynamics perspective: no effect.From a Worklight perspective: the Worklight developed App will communicate with Worklight server as normal, but going via the Good NOC on the way, so compared to a direct connection, there is an additional network hop. There will be some impact on performance, however, the impact will depend on the application.

» Where will offline data be stored?Offline data can be stored on JSONStore that Worklight provides. It can be encrypted using AES 256 and using passwords or keys derived from PBKDF2. Offline data can be secured using GD Plugin.

» What about Good for Enterprise? Other Good integrations with Worklight e.g. for new features like document storage etc.?So far there are no plans to develop any other integrations, only Good Dynamics.

» Is the integration specifically for Worklight on the GD side?No, the plug-in is a generic Cordova plug-in.
