Key features for BlackBerry 10 devices and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Advanced management |
The BlackBerry Device Service console allows you to fully manage BlackBerry 10 devices and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, BlackBerry Device Service components, high availability, administrator accounts, and device controls. |
|
Help desk management |
BlackBerry Management Studio allows you to perform basic management tasks for BlackBerry 10 devices and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, manage licenses, and view reports of your system. |
|
Manage work information separately on a device |
For BlackBerry 10 devices and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, BlackBerry Balance ensures that personal and work information and apps are kept separate on devices by creating a personal space and a work space and providing full management of the work space. For BlackBerry 10 devices, additional options include full control over the work space and some control over the personal space, or you can create only a work space on the device to give your organization full control over the entire device. |
|
Manage work apps |
For BlackBerry 10 devices, you can use BlackBerry Device Service to install and manage work apps in the work space on devices. Work apps can only access work data and interact with other work apps. You can configure work and personal apps differently, including their use of network connections. A work app can be either an internal app or a public app available from the BlackBerry World storefront. You can specify whether internal apps are required on devices, and which BlackBerry device models support an internal app. |
|
Work space wallpaper |
You can use the BlackBerry Device Service console to help users distinguish between the work space and the personal space on BlackBerry 10 devices by specifying a custom image, such as your organization's logo, for work space wallpaper. |
|
Consolidate ports for device traffic |
Secure connectivity increases network security for BlackBerry 10 devices by sending all device traffic from BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 through the outbound-initiated ports 3101 and 443. This feature allows you to avoid opening a direct connection from within your organization's firewall to the Internet for device management and third-party applications such as the messaging server, certification authority, and other web servers or content servers. |
|
Certificate-based authentication |
You can use the BlackBerry Device Service console to distribute client certificates to devices using SCEP profiles. The BlackBerry Device Service helps restrict access to Microsoft ActiveSync, Wi-Fi connections, or VPN connections to devices that use certificate-based authentication. |
|
Push data to devices |
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service connects apps on devices to push applications, which are applications on your organization's application servers or web servers that push data to apps on devices. After an app is installed on a device, the app can receive data from push applications. |
