Android Enterprise

Android Enterprise integrates Avalanche and Google APIs to manage your devices, pairing the best of Google security and application management with the device management capabilities of Avalanche.

Creating an Android Enterprise account gives you access to a managed Google Play Store that is unique to your enterprise. You can either create a new enterprise account through Avalanche or enroll an existing one. To manage Android Enterprise devices, use your managed Google Play Store to approve, purchase, and publish apps, then use Avalanche to configure and distribute those apps, configure device settings, and perform actions on the device.

Getting started with Android Enterprise

1.Secure the smart device server. The smart device server requires an SSL certificate to securely communicate with Android devices. For information about obtaining a certificate, see Obtaining SSL Certificates. For information about adding a certificate to the smart device server, see Importing a Certificate for the Smart Device Server.

2.Secure the web console connection. The connection between the web console and the Avalanche web server must be secured. For information about securing the connection, see Accessing the Web Console Over an HTTPS Connection.

3.Set up notification services. Google's notification service, Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), is required to establish communication between Avalanche’s smart device server and your enterprise enrolled Android devices. For information about enabling FCM and its port requirements, see Configuring FCM for Android.

4.Create an Android Enterprise account. An enterprise account connects Avalanche and Google, enabling Android Enterprise device management and giving you access to an enterprise managed Play Store. For information about creating an enterprise account from the Avalanche console, see Creating an Enterprise Account.

5.Enroll devices. Avalanche can manage Android devices through a selection of different management modes, including work profile mode, fully managed mode, and dedicated device (kiosk) mode. For information about enrolling devices using these management modes, see Connecting Devices to an Enterprise.
