An agile, lightweight, but secure extensible hybrid application container and deployment mechanism for mobile devices has the potential to provide improved cross platform support, reduced development lifecycle time and a consistent application security model within large organizations. We demonstrate how such an architecture can provide a set of security and mobile device management interfaces to lightweight applications written in a high level markup and scripting language and also how these applications can be provisioned via push or pull mechanisms to an Enterprise user's device. The use of such a container for hybrid applications widens the potential support and development resource within an organization to employees possessing readily available skill sets, this permits mission critical applications to be developed in a much shorter time frame than with native mobile application deployment methods.
