About MDM• Mobile device management (MDM) software secures, monitors,
manages and supports mobile devices deployed across mobile operators, service providers and enterprises.
• MDM functionality typically includes over-the-air distribution of applications, data and configuration settings for all types of mobile devices.
• Applies To both
• Company Owned
• BYOD ( Bring Your Own Device )
• Reduce support costs and business risks
• Optimize the functionality and security of a mobile communications network while minimizing cost and downtime.
Implementation
• Server component : which sends out the management commands to the mobile devices.
• Client component : which runs on the handset and receives and implements the management commands.
• A single vendor may provide both the client and the server, in others client and server will come from different sources.
Airwatch
• AirWatch is an Atlanta-based provider of mobile device management (MDM) software and standalone management systems for content, applications and email.
• In July 2013, the company acquired Motorola Solution's MSP (Mobility Services Platform) and extended management capabilities to ruggedized devices.
• Currently Owned By VMware
Cloud BasedBenefits

• Cloud clients requiring enterprise integration for
• LDAP / PKI
• Exchange
• Content repositories
On-Premise BasedBenefits
• Comply with corporate on premise security polices
• Direct integration with corporate systems
• Leverage existing infrastructure investments
• Physical and virtual environments supported
Considerations
• Network firewall changes required
• Multiple software and hardware required on premise
On-premise deployment with a single AirWatch server installed in the DMZ or internal network
Ideal for…
• Leveraging existing infrastructure
• On-premise is required
• Enterprise integration
On-premise deployment with multiple servers in the DMZ and internal network for multi-tier firewall architectures
Ideal for…
• Multi-tier networks
• Resources not available to DMZ
• Special security policy compliance
• Server scalability via tier 1-3 deployments
Conclusion
• Optimize the functionality and security of a mobile communications network while minimizing cost and downtime.
• MDM is now touted as a solution for managing corporate-owned as well as personal devices in the workplace. The primary challenge is the ability to manage the risks associated with mobile access to data while securing company issued and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) mobile devices.
