The working group of the Federal CIO Council recently issued a BYOD Toolkit for federal agencies. The guidance urges agencies to adopt consumerization and notes that flexibility is the key to employee productivity. Several customers of federal Citrix have already realized that this is part of the basic vision of Citrix - ability to work and play anywhere, on any device
The guide recommends three types solutions for implementing a. BYOD program:
- Virtualization - the concept of consolidation of all data, applications and desktops in the data center. Remote access to these resources are given with minimal client-side processing, leaving no data at rest on the endpoint. This virtualization solution "screen-scraping" allows users to interact remotely with a full Windows Desktop or application.The toolbox provides a study of a virtualization solution based on the use of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) implementation case. The Department of Alcohol and Tobaco Tax and Trade Bureau of the Treasury (TTB) saved approximately $ 1.2 million in HW refresh costs by using a VDI solution based Citrix XenDesktop. not only allowed them to move to a thin solution / customer base computer zero but also to leverage the same environment to allow BYOD mobility using Citrix Receiver. More details on the environment are available in the guidance document linked below.
The TTB is just one of several federal agencies that have already deployed XenDesktop to enable BYOD programs, thin scratch projects / clients, as well as mobility.
- Walled Garden - the isolation concept of all corporate data in a "container" to secure the endpoint. This container can be separately managed by IT personnel components on the BYOD device.Although the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) MDM leverages a cloud service hosted in the case study listed in this toolkit, we believe that a complete solution for MAM featured would be better suited for this scenario. Citrix CloudGateway can not only provide a secure messaging solution on mobile, but also provides a secure browser access to intranet sites, and legacy Windows applications. While ensuring that all company data resides in Citrix Receiver that can be managed remotely and wiped
- limited separation -. uses policies to enforce the separation of individual and corporate data. Not necessarily IT controls in place to define and secure enterprise data. Although technically feasible, I generally do not encourage the use of this technique for deploying a solution type BYOD mainly because of security concerns.
The tool box continues to provide sample policy documents, as well as lessons learned / comments on each case study. Some must-read for any agency looking into BYOD.

With Citrix is one of the pioneers of BYOD, it's great to see others on capturing. What are your thoughts? How your BYOD program progressing? the he toolbox helped your agency?
