Citrix has launched a new release of XenMobile enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution.

XenMobile 10 optimises the mobility experience for end users while automating and simplifying the IT deployment and management process.

The release included compelling design enhancements for streamlined workflows, which are part of the XenMobile suite of integrated productivity apps, enabling users to have the best business experience on their mobile devices.

For IT teams, the new release delivered a unified EMM platform that simplifies the management and deployment of mobile apps, data and devices, offering businesses the flexibility and security to scale easily and support a growing mobile workforce.

As mobile growth continues, enterprises require a scalable and flexible infrastructure to manage and support an influx of mobile devices and applications.

There has also been immense pressure on IT to provide access to apps and data on any mobile device that combine security with a superior and familiar user experience.

XenMobile stands apart from other offerings based on experience, security and flexibility in every aspect of product design and development. This differentiated focus makes it a best for business mobility solution for both employees and IT administrators.

XenMobile offers the most complete set of business productivity apps that deliver an optimized business experience for mobile users. The new release features multiple design enhancements improving the overall experience for power users and enabling them to create new workflows with the XenMobile suite of integrated business apps.

These include WorxMail, WorxWeb, WorxNotes, WorxEdit, WorxDesktop and ShareFile.
 
The new XenMobile release also provides mobile users with a new and easy to use Self Service Portal for managing important tasks, such as tracking, locking and wiping lost or stolen devices.

Based on Citrix testing, this can result in an estimated 20 per cent reduction in IT help desk tickets from mobile users, which in turn, lowers IT operations costs and gives control to the end users.

In addition to securing the mobile device, productivity apps and data storage, the new XenMobile release delivers enhancements to secure the interactions between the device, the network gateway and the servers.

The new release supports strong authentication for applications using RSA Adaptive Authentication, a leading risk based authentication and fraud detection platform, and provides support for FIPS 140.2 advanced encryption, which is based on the U.S. government security standards.  

Specifically, these new enhancements strengthen the encryption between device to network and network to server connections, and also, secure the administrative console connections.

The new release simplifies IT administration tasks, from enrolling, provisioning, configuring and deploying to troubleshooting of the entire mobility stack, including devices, apps and the infrastructure.

It unifies the server infrastructure for mobile device management (MDM) with mobile application management (MAM).  This provides IT administrators a single plane of control to efficiently manage apps and devices from a single virtual server.  

Jesper Blomqvist Rydstrom, head of Workplace, Defense and Security Company Saab, said : “Citrix delivers a powerful EMM solution, and we are looking forward to rolling out the new release.

“The simplified architecture in XenMobile provides a streamlined experience for IT, enabling us to scale and manage a growing mobile workforce in an efficient and highly secure manner, while preserving end user experience.” - TradeArabia News Service
