- [Instructor] For networks with a lot of users,
consider third-party offerings from companies
that make use of mobile device management platforms.
MDM platforms are centralized software solutions.
MDM allows admins to control, configure, update,
and secure remote mobile device operating systems
such as Android, iOS, and so on
all from one administrative console.
From the central location,
the administrator can carry out the tasks
of application management, content management,
and patch management on multiple devices at once.
Examples include Cisco Meraki, Citrix Endpoint Management,
VMware AirWatch, and SOTI MobiControl,
though there are several others.
Building on MDM, application control becomes easier
in the form of mobile application management, MAM.
With MAM, applications can be installed, uninstalled,
updated, and secured from that same central location.
You might also be interested in open source solutions.
Since Big Sur, Apple has required that IT organizations
and managed service providers
use an MDM to manage devices running macOS.
Examples include Flive and 1MDM.
So check out open source solutions as well.
And over here, we have an example of MDM,
a basic example from a company called Miradore,
and you can see that it has a very basic dashboard here
where you can work with your mobile devices
and you can see the individual mobile devices
within that dashboard.
So management becomes really easy to control,
Remote Android, macOS or iOS, and even Windows devices
from that central location.
And that's the whole idea.
We wanna try to centralize things
so we can make our administration a little bit easier.
So remember that MDM is a centralized software solution
used to configure and update and secure remote devices.
