F5 Unveils Mobile App Manager

F5 Networks, Inc. FFIV, the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, today announced F5^® Mobile App Manager, a new hybrid cloud solution for mobile application management that enables organizations to safely and cost-effectively support enterprise BYOD initiatives. With F5 Mobile App Manager, enterprises can extend corporate applications and data to employees' personal mobile devices while leaving all personal content under the control of the device owner. F5 Mobile App Manager is a BYOD solution that combines the policy management and secure application delivery features of the BIG-IP^® Access Policy Manager^® (APM^®) with the scalability and affordability of a SaaS offering. It is fundamentally different from “BYOD 1.0” Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions in that it securely connects only corporate applications to the enterprise network, and it manages only the enterprise content and applications on a device rather than the entire device itself.
