WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager (EMM) comprises of two key aspects: Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM). WSO2 EMM is 100% open source and is developed on top of WSO2 Carbon for greater scalability and interoperability. EMM enables organizations to secure, manage and monitor Android, iOS and Windows devices (i.e., smart phones, ipod touch devices and tablet PCs), on both corporate and personal (employee-owned) devices, irrespective of the mobile operator, service provider or the organization. The WSO2 EMM architecture diagram is as follows:
The device management module enables the administrator to manage the devices that are registered with EMM. Since EMM implements a plugable architecture. Android, iOS and Windows platforms are plugged into it and new device platforms can be implemented and plugged in easily. The policy management module in device management core is used to manage the EMM policies. The app management module enables organizations to control the corporate applications on mobile devices that are registered with EMM. The user management module enables administrators to manage the WSO2 EMM users. If required, administrators can connect their own user store to WSO2 EMM. The configuration module enables the tenant administrators to customize their general, Android and iOS settings. Compliance monitoring is done, so that the EMM can check if the devices violate any of the policies applied and take necessary actions.
EMM has three key consoles: EMM Console, Publisher and Store. Users who belong to the publisher role can use the Publisher to publish, unpublish, deprecate or retire their mobile apps. While, users who belong to the reviewer role can approve or reject mobile apps, which are submitted for approval. Users can use the Store to discover mobile apps easily and install apps to their own mobile devices. Administrators can use the EMM Console to manage users, policies, apply policies and more.
