Architecture
IBM Endpoint Manager for Mobile Devices uses two approaches to manage those devices:
- Agent Mobile Device Management API-based approach supported on Android and iOS devices through the IBM Mobile Client. Provides capabilities through either...
- Native Agent on the Android platform
- Apple MDM APIs and the Push Notification Server infrastructure (APNS)
- Email-based management through Exchange (Active Sync) and Lotus Traveler (IBM Sync).
Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Symbian are supported, but the functionality is limited. Includes the ability to wipe a device, deny email access, and set password policies. We cannot see individual device details, perform application management, configure WiFi or VPN connections, or provide advance restrictions as in the agent–based, MDM API-based approach.
- Container management is available through Enterproid Divide, as indicated in Features.
- PIM is available through NitroDesk TouchDown.
