Wave Mobility Pro – Tablet Edition Now Generally Available

Since announcing the development of a comprehensive management solution for Windows 8 tablets in February, Wave has had a single focus – releasing this much sought-after solution to customers. Now, marking a major milestone, Wave is announcing the general availability of the newly minted Wave Mobility Pro – Tablet Edition today.

So what’s new? In addition to the commercial availability of strong authentication, managed encryption, and device health for Windows 8 tablets, Wave Mobility Pro offers professional services with an unprecedented level of support for your deployment.

The Mobility Pro allows enterprises to securely deploy Windows 8 tablets using enterprise-grade 24X7 authentication and encryption. With the Mobility Pro you can streamline your user experience by taking passwords out of the equation, save money (no longer a need for MDM software), your tablet becomes “safe to lose,” and you can standardize your security management by using the same infrastructure to manage your desktop and laptop PCs. What’s more, it supports a mixed environment with backward compatibility with pre-Windows 8 operating system.

The Mobility Pro helps your company manage and take advantage of the industry-standard security technology (the TPM) that’s available on Windows 8 tablets. It’s a solution that offers strong hardware-based authentication without passwords that are vulnerable to being phished or cracked, it provides VPN or DirectAccess authentication using your exiting internal TPM without a need for an external token and it secures and locks down corporate Wi-Fi access without passwords as well.

Despite their popularity, iPads and Android tablets pose significant security risks and management challenges to enterprise IT. Existing Enterprise applications need to be rewritten, which is expensive and time consuming. Contrary to common belief, existing MDM solutions do not provide adequate security and are pricey.

Windows 8 tablets are here. All major PC OEMs have been shipping Windows 8 tablets for 4 months now. And Gartner estimates that 15 million enterprise tablets will be sold in 2013.

The Wave Mobility Pro solution has flexible, layered options based on IT desired functionality. Each option within the Wave Mobility solution can be implemented stand-alone, or in combination with Wave solutions.
