Understanding Managed Devices and Managed Clients

Pulse Workspace supports two different modes of working with mobile devices:

•Managed device mode uses Mobile Device Management (MDM). This is the default mode, and the basis for all Pulse Workspace device enrollment before the 2.0.1901 release.

•Corporate devices will have a single Work partition, containing all data and apps on the device.

•Bring Your Own Devices (BYODs) support the use of personal devices, and will have both a Work partition and a Personal partition.

•The admin can manage the Work partition any enrolled device, push apps and policies to the device, evaluate the device’s compliance status, locate the device, and ultimately lock or wipe the Work partition of the device if necessary.

•Managed client mode does not use MDM. Currently, the admin can push policies to enrolled devices to enable VPN on Demand on the device.

Managed client mode is currently only supported on iOS devices.

Managed client mode is selected by setting the Enable enrollment of managed iOS clients? workspace property, see Workspaces.

•When Enable enrollment of managed iOS clients? is False (default), managed device mode is used.

•When Enable enrollment of managed iOS clients? is True, managed client mode is used.
