Mobile Device Management for corporate iPads and iPhones

equinux presents TARMAC with Mobile Device Management for enterprise iOS4 devices
Munich, Germany / San Francisco, USA - 10th November 2010: The iPhone, iPad and iPod touch can now be integrated into business networks even easier and more securely than before. equinux introduces TARMAC 1.3, the latest version of its provisioning solution for iOS-based devices, soon to be featuring Mobile Device Management for iOS4. Through Mobile Device Management TARMAC furthers the possibilities for IT managers to set up and manage devices remotely over-the-air.

"Mobile Device Management is an important milestone on the TARMAC roadmap", says equinux CEO Till Schadde. "Now there's yet another advantage to using a specialized iOS solution: TARMAC utilizes the technical capabilities of the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch without the technical compromises associated with supporting devices from other manufacturers.

TARMAC and Mobile Device Management

TARMAC supports all the Mobile Device Management features found in iOS4, allowing over-the-air set up and maintenance of iPads and iPhones - both for inventory management as well as the active mobile device management. Once the devices are rolled out by the MDM server and are registered by TARMAC, IT administrators can push updated user profiles, change settings or even wipe the device remotely. Mobile Device Management allows various device information to be retrieved over the air, such as current operator, iOS version, installed apps, or the current security settings.

Above all TARMAC raises security levels with Mobile Device Management. Companies who change their security policies need only push the new settings over the air to all associated devices, without requiring user input. Should a mobile device be lost, the IT manager can lock the device remotely, reset the password and clear all data.

Pricing and availability

TARMAC 1.3 is available immediately. MDM functionality will be made available by the end of 2010 via a free update and will require iOS4. TARMAC is already compatible for iOS4 on the iPad.
