Citrix Introduces XenMobile MDM

Citrix has announced XenMobile MDM, an enterprise mobile device management solution that gives users device choice while also enabling IT to meet its management and compliance requirements. XenMobile MDM joins other Citrix solutions, including Citrix CloudGateway, Citrix NetScaler, Citrix XenDesktop, GoToMeeting, GoToAssist, Citrix ShareFile, and Citrix Podio, providing organisations with a single vendor for all of their enterprise mobility needs.

Users are demanding the freedom to choose their own devices, use any app and access their e-mail and documents from anywhere. Organisations require a solution that addresses these user expectations, while also meeting IT’s need for security. XenMobile MDM provides the foundation to address these needs through role-based management, configuration and security of corporate and employee-owned devices. The solution is built on a highly secure architecture and integrates directly with Microsoft Active Directory and public key infrastructure systems, as well as security information and event management tools. With XenMobile MDM, users can self-service enroll their devices and IT can provision policies and apps to large groups of devices automatically. IT can blacklist or whitelist apps, detect and protect against jailbroken devices, and wipe or selectively wipe a device that is lost, stolen or out of compliance.

Until now, enterprises that wanted to go beyond MDM to full Enterprise Mobility Management have had to piece together solutions from multiple vendors. Citrix now eliminates the need for multiple point solutions by offering a Mobile Solutions Bundle, which is comprised of XenMobile MDM and CloudGateway. This bundle combines MDM with innovative mobile application management. The Mobile Solutions Bundle provides five key Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) capabilities.

Five Key Capabilities Needed To Manage and Secure Enterprise Mobility

• Enterprise MDM delivers role-based management, configuration and security for both corporate and employee-owned devices.

• Secure e-mail, browser and data sharing apps from Citrix deliver a rich user experience with the management and control that IT requires.

• Mobile app containers centralise IT management, security and control for any mobile app, whether created by a third party or enterprise IT.

• Unified app store provides a single place for users to access all of their apps – mobile, web, SaaS, and Windows – on any device.

• Identity management, single sign-on and scenario-based access control make it easy for IT to manage user access and radically simplify the user experience.

Indian working professionals today are more “mobile” than ever as they own multiple devices like smart phones and tablets across platforms like Androids and Apple IOs. Hence, the purview and definition of mobility will undergo a change as organisations will now need to consider how they will deliver all apps and content in a secured manner to their user at any time regardless of the device. Our new enterprise mobility offering is extremely relevant to Indian organisations as it provides a complete solution that can manage and secure all devices, apps and data while giving users the ability to experience work and life their way. Citrix XenMobile will enable customers to launch transformation initiatives like Executive Mobility and BYOD and help them improve employee productivity,” said Sanjay Deshmukh, Area Vice President, India subcontinent, Citrix.
