Quest Software extends support for Android, iPad, iPhone devices and Macs with new and updated Quest Management Xtensions (QMX) solutions, which extend Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager capabilities to over 120 non-Microsoft platforms.
With direct integration into System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Quest QMX tools enable organizations to streamline data access while leveraging a single pane of glass to simplify management and security.
· Quest QMX extension for Android now allows organizations to manage these prominent smartphones and tablet devices through complete inventory, remote commands (wipe, lock, password reset) and configuration.
· Additionally, Quest’s QMX extension for Apple products support enhanced management capabilities to simplify operation with corporate applications and data.
- The QMX extension for iOS incorporates in-demand capabilities, including more detailed control and management features to inventory, report on and distribute applications and updates to these devices as well as keep the organization secure with selective lock and wipe capabilities in the event of a lost device.
- With the QMX extension for Mac, administrators can use standardization and network readiness in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to deploy corporate images to one or more Mac laptops and PowerBooks. This lets IT quickly resurrect a device that an end-user had completely destroyed.
