As a separately licensed and installed component, Afaria Server provides enterprise level device application deployment and device management. Integrated with Unwired Server, the solution supports end-to-end management and security of devices, and over-the-air (OTA) and push-based deployment of device applications.
Afaria extends Unwired Platform functionality by providing additional device client management features for remote and mobile computing devices, including laptops, desktops, and handheld devices.
When Afaria is licensed and implemented with Sybase Unwired Platform, the Afaria management console is launched from the Sybase Control Center console.
Use the Afaria tools to:
- Deploy client and runtime infrastructure components – Using OTA and push-based deployment, mobile devices automatically receive notifications, application updates, etc. Afaria administrators can add, update or remove applications, data and content without the users’ involvement and can ensure mobile workers have the correct software and data in the field. Users can be confident that the data on their devices is up-to-date and reliable.
- Track assets – Identify and track assets being used by your mobile workforce. Afaria Administrators have full control of the range of devices and applications deployed and can view information from a single console.
- Secure devices and data – Data and content is backed up and can be deleted if a device is lost or stolen.
