With the Connected Cloud, IT departments can quickly deploy thousands of smartphones and tablets without sacrificing enterprise-grade security, and they can begin securely distributing mobile apps using MobileIron's Enterprise App Storefront. The Connected Cloud can be fully integrated and operational in less than hour and the cost is $4 per month per managed device. The MobileIron Connected Cloud is a multi-tenant platform that was beta-tested by 11 enterprise companies including six of the Fortune 1000.

"Two overriding trends, consumerization and cloud computing, are driving major changes within the IT organizations of large companies," said Chris Hazelton, Research Director, Mobile and Wireless, at the 451 Group. "The marriage of cloud and MDM supports IT's need for quick deployments and users' desire for choice, by offering highly scalable infrastructure that provides the tools to manage a rapidly expanding number of smartphones and tablets in the enterprise."

"Innovation and change is happening more quickly in mobile than in any other area that IT has to manage," said Bob Tinker, CEO, MobileIron. "With the Connected Cloud, we give enterprises a way to move fast and keep up with mobile technology without sacrificing the connectivity their security requires. In the past, cloud-based MDM systems have been disconnected from enterprise security infrastructure and the bottom line is that if it's not connected it's not secure."
