Business Wire
Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), an industry leader in enterprise
mobility software, expanded its support for Apple devices with a
full mobile device management and security solution for iOS 4. The
release of Sybase® Afaria® delivers proven, market-leading
functionality to empower enterprise IT to effectively manage the
proliferation of personally and corporate-liable iPhones, while
providing a high degree of security to meet the strictest corporate
standards.
“The increasing diversity of platforms being incorporated into
enterprise environments, such as iPhone 4, have companies
scrambling to enable the use of such high user-demand devices while
maintaining corporate security policies,” said Jack Gold, President
of J.Gold Associates, LLC. “Third party management and security
applications like those from Sybase enable companies to augment
these devices’ capabilities by keeping corporate data assets safe
and separate from the private user sections of these devices. When
such enhancements are deployed, these consumer devices can become
capable business productivity tools connected to a corporate
environment.”
With Afaria, Sybase meets widespread customer demand for
simplified, seamless over-the-air delivery of in-house apps and
management policies, separation of personal and enterprise
information, and improved transparency and control of asset
tracking for iOS 4 devices. This release extends Sybase’s expansive
list of device types supported by Afaria which includes iPhone.
“The new features that Sybase will offer to secure Apple’s iOS 4
devices are game-changing for customers using our cloud-ready,
managed mobility service,” said Caroline Comet-Fraigneau, Head of
Mobility Business Unit, Orange Business Services. “Our customers
will significantly benefit from the ability to separately manage
enterprise data without affecting personal data all while
transforming their business through managed mobility solutions that
better connect customers and better enable employee
productivity.”
New features of the upcoming Afaria release support both
on-premise and multi-tenant, managed mobility service models,
delivering significant customer benefits including:
- Simplified delivery of
in-house apps: Over-the-air delivery of in-house apps directly
to the iPhone, as well as user-selectable “suggested” apps from the
App Store through an Afaria client portal on the iPhone.
- Simplified device
management: Powerful remote iPhone management provides IT with
the ability to remotely install and remove device policies as well
as lock and wipe the device – all without the need for user
interaction.
- Improved transparency and
control: Accurate and up to date asset tracking ensures
complete knowledge of mobile device population - including device
network information, connection data, security information, profile
and provisioning data, certificates and restrictions, and installed
3rd party apps.
“As personally-liable devices continue to proliferate in the
workplace, the need to manage and secure the newest offerings from
the industry’s leading manufacturers has never been more pressing,”
said Willie Jow, vice president of mobility marketing, Sybase.
“Sybase is committed to meeting strong customer demand by
supporting iOS 4 with enterprise device management, further
demonstrating our longstanding, rapid support for Apple devices. We
look forward to embracing iOS 4 across our breadth of applications,
services and development tools.”
