In the present technology world, mobiles and tablets growth has proliferated, especially when it comes to industries like Education, Health, Bank, etc. Apple has introduced “App Lock” feature that can enable enterprises to put mobile for some serious work.  This feature enables the mobile device to run only a single app in the device and Desktop Central provides full-fledged support for this feature that makes ipads and iphones more efficient in enterprises.

Let’s consider a real life scenario, in educational institutions students are the one who spend their maximum time on accessing digital content (e books).  The laptops and desktops acts as junction points to access digital library. With the app lock feature, students can utilize their ipad and iphones as mobile kiosks to access e-books or digital library. It’s not only the mobility and freedom to access knowledge increases but you can also be confident in managing the devices seamlessly. In addition Desktop Central allows you to configure restrictions like :

  • Diagnostic submission
  • Passbook
  • Shared Stream
  • Game Center (iOS6 supervised device)
  • Book Store (iOS6 supervised device)
  • Book Store Erotica (iOS6 supervised device) (the user will not be able to download media from the iBookstore that has been tagged as erotica.)
  • User Configuration Profile installation (iOS6 supervised device)

Exchange and Email Policy:

Enable/Disable synchronization of recent mails

On the other hand the usual proxy settings makes your work bit complicated. Since the HTTP traffic for resources like Wi-Fi, VPN, etc.  will be termed in different proxies and need to monitor every proxy set by you, which makes your work havoc.

Desktop Central introduces “Global proxy settings” support for iOS6. It ensures that all the HTTP network traffic is passed only through it. This simplifies your work, so that you need not configure proxy in multiple places.
