Munich, Germany / San Francisco, USA - August 17, 2011: Enterprises can easily and securely manage iOS devices with TARMAC Mobile Device Management (MDM). equinux has now released TARMAC 1.6, the latest version of their MDM server solutions for use with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Initial installation and setup of TARMAC, both on Windows and Mac, has been greatly streamlined.

"The overwhelming popularity of iPhones and iPads has brought up the topic of, 'Bring Your Own Device' to work", says equinux CEO Till Schadde.

TARMAC offers a secure, easy to use Mobile Device Management solution for iOS.

TARMAC 1.6 allows the professional rollout and management of iPhones and iPads in business through MDM. With its intuitive interface, TARMAC users can use their company network to register their iPhone or iPad with the MDM server to benefit from numerous advantages: install iOS and profile updates in the background, centrally update security settings, reset passwords or completely wipe the device from afar. TARMAC MDM commands can be executed to large groups and even specific devices. The advantages of TARMAC Mobile Device Management are obvious: Unlike other solutions, TARMAC is solely focused and designed to be used with iOS mobile devices.

IT-landscape at a glance: Inventory Management

TARMAC offers IT administrators additional advantages: With the MDM command set, TARMAC delivers integrated Inventory Management with actual information about all devices in the field - which user profiles, iOS-Versions, installed apps in addition to how the security preferences are configured.
