App makes iPad a mobile command center for IT managers
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 5 -- MobileIron, the first company to deliver virtualized smartphone management for business, today announced its MobileIron Sentry App for iPad is available on the App Store. The app takes advantage of the rich interface, portability, and visual space of iPad to give IT a mobile command center from which they can monitor and take action on smartphones accessing enterprise email. The iPad itself has the potential to transform IT operations by enabling a new breed of interactive enterprise apps, like MobileIron Sentry, that allow IT professionals to truly take their work mobile.
"We are at the intersection of two trends: widespread adoption of smartphones in the enterprise and the need for IT to take their own operations mobile. The iPhone is a key driver of the first and iPad allows us to offer an innovative solution for the second," said Bob Tinker, CEO of MobileIron. "With our new MobileIron Sentry App for iPad customers can mobilize enterprise email without letting in unauthorized devices. MobileIron Sentry is the guard at the gate, protecting enterprise data."
The MobileIron Sentry App for iPad delivers real-time monitoring and response capabilities including:
-- Dashboard view of smartphone connection activity.
-- Identification of unauthorized or risky access.
-- Blocking of rogue devices.
-- Policy setting based on the device type employees are choosing.
