Why Mobile360
Is your mobile device management solution really cloud-based?
Mobile360 is build on MaaS36 (MobileFirst Secure from IBM) which is the only solution built from the beginning, over 8 years ago, to be a true SaaS mobile device management solution.
True Cloud Must-Have Attributes
Vendors that “host” their existing on-premises solutions and label it SaaS or cloud can’t offer the true economic and technical advantages because too many resources are used maintaining multiple versions of their solution. Unfortunately, the misuse of the terms “SaaS” and “cloud” are creating confusion because vendors make the business model the focus, rather than the underlying technology used to deliver the service. With the mobile device management space moving as quickly as it is today, it is essential to take the time to assess cloud solutions in terms of the following set of core attributes that define cloud-based services for mobility.
Multi-tenancy
- On-demand access to the solution is provided instantly from the Internet
- Vendor delivers mobility capabilities to all customers from a single instance of their platform
- Strong security walls are established to isolate users
- Vendors make continual enhancements and all users have immediate access to the latest features
Integration
- Robust APIs and integration options
- Quickly and easily fits alongside your existing infrastructure
- Seamlessly extends your enterprise capabilities to a mobile environment
Security and compliance
- Provides granular visibility, along with the ability to manage, secure, and control devices and apps
- No personal, private, or company confidential information is stored in the cloud; it remains in existing corporate systems and mobile devices
- All information should be transmitted over SSL3.0/TLS1.0 with certificated from DigiCert using FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption modules.
Manageability
- Provides the fastest way to gain secure mobile control without any on-premises hardware to install and manage
- Workflows and best practices are automatically applied
- Easily configured to adapt to the needs of individual customers
- Users are always on the latest version of the product without any additional costs or downtime interrupting your operations
And with the growing diversity of mobile devices, having one system to secure all smartphones, tablets, and laptops with centralized policy management across multiple platforms delivers greater IT operational efficiencies.
Scalability
- Eliminates any barriers preventing the addition of mobile devices, while allowing quick scaling as mobile device requirements change
- Same platform scales downward for small groups, without any minimum commitments, and upward to meet the needs of the largest global enterprises
- Devices and users can be added as needed, when needed, without installing new appliance or databases
- Allows customers to pay for only what is actually used
Traditional hosting and on-premises deployment environments are not designed to easily support elastic scalability or rapid growth in user adoption.
