Mobile Device Management MDM Definition and Helpful Terms Overview What is MDM? Mobile device management (MDM) is Apple’s framework for managing iOS. To effectively manage iOS devices and unleash their full potential, organisations require an equally powerful MDM solution. From deploying new devices and gathering inventory, to configuring settings, managing apps, or wiping data, MDM provides a complete toolset to address large-scale deployments and ensure device security. Deployment Inventory Configuration Management App Security Profiles Commands Deployment and Privacy Mobile Device Management MDM Definition and Helpful Terms Overview The Architecture for MDM APNS Apple Push Notification Server When you send commands to Apple devices, your MDM server communicates with Apple’s Push Notification Server (APNS). Apple’s server maintains a constant connection to devices so you don’t have to. Devices communicate back to the MDM server and receive the commands, configuration profiles or apps you send it. Mobile Device Management Deployment Overview Deployment Methods Before you can use MDM to manage your iOS devices, you first have to enrol them. For iPad or iPhone, an MDM tool allows you to easily enrol devices into management, consistently distribute apps and content, and set up security and access profiles. There are several methods to enroll an Apple mobile device, including enrolment via Apple Configurator, a URL or Apple’s Automated MDM Enrolment program.

Inventory can be collected from a device at various intervals, and includes information, such as serial number, iOS version, apps installed and much more.
