Unwired Platform uses a Web-based administrative console to manage and administer Unwired Servers, device application deployment, and mobile devices running across the corporate network.
The administration console, Sybase Control Center, allows administrators to centrally manage, secure, and deploy servers, data applications and devices.
This systems management command and control functionality provides:
- Server configuration – Configure server parameters including performance, network ports, messaging, SSL security, and log levels among others.
- Cluster management – Register and monitor clusters to ensure that Unwired Server clusters and servers work smoothly, and scale over time.
- Device registration and security – Control and monitor devices registered. Registration, activation, and provisioning of devices allows device users to access applications and to be tracked and managed by the system.
- Subscription management – Configure, manage, and monitor subscriptions related to MBO packages and device user profiles. Subscriptions define what subset of data the device user wants to receive when the device is synchronized with the server.
- Security configuration, administration, and application – Configure and manage permissions that allow execution of operations on registered servers.
- Device application deployment – Manage and monitor device applications deployed to Unwired Server. Afaria Frontline Management is required.
- Monitoring – View historical application usage data, view performance statistics, and manage monitoring data.
- Multitenancy management – Deploy a single production environment to service multiple client organizations, known as Tenants. Administrators can view domains that are created to support the tenancy strategy.
- Log viewing – Review logs directly from the console.
- Troubleshooting – Use information gathered by monitoring Sybase Unwired Platform components to identify and troubleshoot issues.
In addition to the console, the systems management framework can integrate with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management tools to monitor specific server events. You can use the Unwired Server management API to automate and extend administration, management, and monitoring features.
