Files Advanced and BlackBerry Technology have partnered to bring Files Advanced's mobile file management to the BlackBerry Dynamics platform. This optional Files Advanced capability allows the Files Advanced mobile app to be managed, along with other BlackBerry enabled apps, using a unified set of BlackBerry Dynamics policies and services.
The components of the BlackBerry Dynamics platform include:
BlackBerry Control server - A server-based console that allows the enterprise to enable client access to BlackBerry Dynamics enabled apps, create policy sets that govern application permissions and the device types they are allowed to run on, and the ability to revoke access to or wipe BlackBerry Dynamics apps on specific devices.
BlackBerry Proxy server - This service is installed on an on-premise server and is used to provide network access for BlackBerry Dynamics apps needing to communicate with on-premise application servers, such as a Files Advanced Gateway server.
Files Advancedfor BlackBerry Dynamics app - BlackBerry Dynamics enabled apps, such as Files Advanced for BlackBerry Dynamics, include built-in BlackBerry Dynamics services that allow the app to be remotely managed using the BlackBerry Dynamics platform and also provide the app with FIPS 140-2 certified on-device encrypted secure storage and BlackBerry secure communication.
Files Advancedfor BlackBerry Dynamics requires:
Files Advanced for BlackBerry Dynamics client app - The Files Advanced for BlackBerry Dynamics client app available on the Apple App Store is specifically designed as a BlackBerry Dynamics integrated application. When first installed and run on a device, the Files Advanced for BlackBerry Dynamics app will prompt the user to activate the app in BlackBerry Dynamics. This activation is required before the user can proceed with enrolling the app with their Files Advanced server and accessing file.
Files Advancedserver - Files Advanced for BlackBerry Dynamics uses the same server-side software as standard Files Advanced. No server-side changes are required for Files Advanced servers to work with BlackBerry Dynamics enabled Files Advanced clients. This can be used to ensure that all the Files Advanced that have access to Files Advanced files are managed by BlackBerry Dynamics.
Once a Files Advanced for BlackBerry Dynamics client is enrolled in BlackBerry Dynamics, all communication with the Gateway servers is routed though the BlackBerry Dynamics secure communication channel.
