Sybase, a provider of enterprise mobility software, has expanded its support for Apple devices with a full mobile device management and security offering for iOS 4.
The company said that the new Afaria offers functionality to empower enterprise IT to manage the proliferation of personally and corporate-liable iPhones, while providing security to meet corporate standards.
Sybase said that Afaria enables customers with 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.
According to Sybase, the new upcoming release of Afaria supports both on-premise and multi-tenant, managed mobility service models. It offers remote iPhone management, providing IT with the ability to remotely install and remove device policies as well as lock and wipe the device.
In addition, the new offering also provides up to date asset tracking that 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, Sybase said.
Willie Jow, vice president of mobility marketing at Sybase, said: "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."
