Acronis and MobileIron have partnered to bring Acronis Access's mobile file management to the MobileIron AppConnect platform. This Acronis Access capability allows the standard Access Mobile Client app to optionally be auto-configured and managed, along with other AppConnect-enabled apps, by AppConnect defined policies. The Acronis Access also supports MobileIron AppTunnel for remote access to Acronis Access Gateway servers residing inside the corporate data center.
The components of Acronis Access 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 Acronis Access 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.
Acronis Access iOS app - The standard version of Acronis Access 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 Acronis Access Gateway servers through AppTunnel.
Acronis Access Server - The standard version of Acronis Access Server (version 5.0 or later), is fully compatible with Access Mobile Clients managed by AppConnect.
