Acronis and MobileIron have partnered to bring Files Advanced's mobile file management to the MobileIron AppConnect platform. This Files Advanced capability allows the standard Mobile app to optionally be auto-configured and managed, along with other AppConnect-enabled apps, by AppConnect defined policies. The Files Advanced also supports MobileIron AppTunnel for remote access to Files Advanced Gateway servers residing inside the corporate data center.
The components of Files Advanced with MobileIron AppConnect include:
MobileIron Virtual Smartphone platform (VSP) - A server-based console that allows the enterprise to enable client access to AppConnect-enabled apps, auto-configure those apps, create policies that govern app capabilities, and the ability to revoke access to or wipe AppConnect-enabled apps on specific devices.
MobileIron Sentry - This service is used to provide network access for AppConnect-enabled apps needing to communicate with on-premise application servers, such as a Files Advanced Gateway server.
MobileIron Mobile@Work app - This app brokers the authentication and configuration of AppConnect-enabled apps. It must be installed on the mobile device before AppConnect-enabled apps can be configured and managed.
Files Advanced iOS app - The standard version of Files Advanced for iOS (version 5.0 or later), which is available on the Apple App Store, includes the ability to be configured and managed by AppConnect and to communicate with Files Advanced Gateway servers through AppTunnel.
Files Advanced Android app - A special MobileIron version of the app is required. It can be downloaded from http://support.grouplogic.com/?page_id=4566. This version of the app must be added to your Apps@Work store.
Files Advanced Server - The standard version of Files Advanced Server (version 5.0 or later), is fully compatible with mobile clients managed by AppConnect.
