NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, Sept. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOTI SYNC -- Today
at SOTI SYNC, the company's global customer and partner conference, SOTI
announced the first Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution to manage
mixed mobility and IoT deployments, with the introduction of support for Linux.

SOTI MobiControl will now enable remote support of Linux-based devices, machines
and intelligent IoT endpoints. Remote access empowers IT departments to diagnose
and fix a problem in the field, while file sync ensures devices have the latest
content such as files and configurations. SOTI MobiControl protects Linux
devices against unauthorized access and exploits, by hardening Linux endpoints
against attacks, ensuring devices are not left with default passwords, and
automating and scheduling OS and app updates to patch vulnerabilities. All
communication between the device and SOTI MobiControl is secured, preventing
attacks.
This announcement comes on the heels of the SOTI ONE platform launch on May
9, 2017, further demonstrating the company's visionary advancements into
managing the next wave of enterprise mobility.
"We recognized a major gap in the marketplace: the need for a single, integrated
solution to secure and easily manage mobile devices, as well as the dedicated-
devices commonly in use by businesses. We are also seeing a plethora of IoT
endpoints, many of which are on Linux, that will access the corporate network
and therefore require intelligent management," said Graham Watts, Principal
Product Manager at SOTI.
"Mobility is changing the way we work. Businesses need to support mobile workers
wherever they are - in the field, warehouse, storefront, or hospital room - no
matter the form factor or OS. SOTI has been laser focused on empowering our
customers to do exactly this for 20 years. Our newest version of SOTI
MobiControl with Linux support is a powerful step along the important journey of
enabling our customers to take full advantage of the next wave of mobility. Our
proactive roadmap and delivery of visionary technology addresses the problems
the enterprise will face, readying them for the mobile-first future with
unmatched security and control."
Gartner predicts that by 2020 there will be 30 billion devices connected to the
internet.(1) That's billions of endpoints from sensors, actuators, printers,
scanners wearables robots and other devices not yet imagined, which will be
tasked with delivering essential business operations with technology not yet
developed. With its lower cost and open-source nature, many of these endpoints
will be running Linux and all require comprehensive, full life-cycle management
and security. In today's hyper-connected world, SOTI MobiControl goes beyond
traditional mobility management of smartphones, tablets, and laptops, by
securely managing the growing list of IoT devices running the Linux OS. SOTI
MobiControl is the only solution to offer full management of Google Android,
Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows and now, Linux.
From our homes, offices, hospitals, schools and factories, Linux is all around
us, but until now, Linux management has been largely ignored by traditional
mobility management vendors. From state-of-the-art supercomputers and mission-
critical enterprise servers, to tiny sensors and endpoints, Linux is an open-
source, low-cost alternative to expensive commercial operating systems, and the
operating system of choice for over 80 per cent of IoT devices and 67 per cent
of IoT gateways.(2)
In its newest update, SOTI MobiControl 14 has many new functionalities to help
IT departments reduce downtime and workload, decrease maintenance-related
expenses and cut cost through automation and scheduling. These updates directly
address concerns felt by 52 per cent of employees who, according to a global
study carried out by Arlington Research, feel mobility downtime seriously
hinders their ability to work.
* SOTI MobiControl 14 introduces a re-designed administration console that
simplifies the management of large, complex mobility and IoT deployments.
The re-design includes powerful search capabilities, new dynamic dashboards,
and reporting enhancements that will empower IT Administrators to quickly
troubleshoot and resolve mobile issues and improve visibility into their
device deployments.
* SOTI MobiControl 14 also adds enhanced API support to enable full automation
of device and application management from strategic enterprise solutions.
Additionally, it includes many enhancements to improve the management of
Google Android, Apple iOS and Microsoft Windows devices.
In addition to the updates to SOTI MobiControl, SOTI ONE's integrated suite of
solutions are helping businesses deliver on a connected future. Available for
beta trials, SOTI Snap, a cross-platform, rapid mobile applications development
solution enables companies to take the cost, complexity and coding out of mobile
application development for business. SOTI is also announcing SOTI Central, the
company's online community and marketplace for partners and customers to get
answers from product experts, interact, and browse a library of products and
services built around SOTI ONE solutions.
General availability for SOTI MobiControl 14, SOTI Snap and SOTI Central will
commence on October 31, 2017.
