Managing Android Devices with Google Apps™
With over 200,000 devices activated each day, Android is seeing rapid adoption, and Google™ is launching new administrative controls that make it possible to securely manage these devices in the Google Apps™ environment. With this launch, Google Apps™ provides secure management and sync capabilities for all major mobile platforms. You can manage most mobile devices right from the browser, without having to deploy dedicated servers.
Many Android devices feature tight integration with Google Apps™, including native applications for Gmail™, Google Talk™, and Google Calendar™, as well as mobile access to Google Docs™. Now any employee with an Android device running version 2.2 - personal or company-issued - can access their corporate information while allowing administrators to enforce data security policies such as:
- Remotely wipe all data from lost or stolen mobile devices
- Lock idle devices after a period of inactivity
- Require a device password on each phone
- Set minimum lengths for more secure passwords
- Require passwords to include letters and numbers
When the employee leaves the company, the administrator can withdraw access to corporate info, which allows the employee to continue to use their device if it’s their own.
These policies can be enforced on devices that have installed the Google Apps™ Device Policy application, which will be available from Android Market. They will be available free to all Google Apps™ Premier and Education Edition customers, and can be accessed from the 'Mobile' tab under 'Service Settings' in the Google Apps™ control panel.
