BlackBerry in collaboration with AWS
announces UEM at the Edge and UEM for the IoT
WATERLOO, ON, Oct. 10,
2023 /CNW/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX:
BB), the pioneer of enterprise mobility management, today announced
two major new Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) innovations –
BlackBerry UEM at the edge and BlackBerry UEM for the IoT.
BlackBerry® UEM software is used for managing,
monitoring, and securing all of an organization's end-user devices.
Taking BlackBerry UEM to the edge will enhance enterprise
productivity and employee experience by placing workloads close to
the end user and their device for ultra-low latency connectivity,
while maintaining the highest security standards that customers
rely on and trust BlackBerry to deliver – in testing users saw up
to 87% decrease in latency. The solution brings the BlackBerry
Network Operations Center (NOC), the company's unique secure
connectivity infrastructure, to the edge and integrates with AWS
Local Zones and Availability Zones to securely place compute,
storage, and other services where data is being generated and
consumed. BlackBerry UEM at the edge is compatible with BlackBerry
UEM on-prem and cloud.
BlackBerry UEM for the Internet of Things (IoT) will expand
unified endpoint management to IoT devices enabling organizations
to realize the vast benefits of the IoT and reduce unknown risks in
their environment. The solution integrates BlackBerry UEM with AWS
IoT Greengrass, an open source edge runtime and cloud service used
on millions of IoT endpoints across the connected world – in
factories, vehicles, healthcare, enterprises – to provide IoT
endpoint visibility and management and empower IT teams. Advancing
the company's convergence vision, this new addition to BlackBerry
UEM will enable organizations to seamlessly and securely inventory
and manage their IT and IoT endpoints from a single console.
"BlackBerry founded and has been a leader in the enterprise
mobility management market for over twenty years. We are once again
revolutionizing the market, by leapfrogging the industry in
endpoint management innovation and paving the way for convergence,"
said Neelam Sandhu, Chief Elite
Customer Success Officer, BlackBerry. "It has been wonderful to
collaborate with AWS to develop BlackBerry UEM at the edge and
BlackBerry UEM for the IoT, to enable our customers to unlock new
business value through digital technologies, which offer the
potential to transform and advance every aspect of the connected
world, spanning how we live and work."
"IoT has advanced over the past years across different
industries – automotive, enterprise, medical, manufacturing. The
convergence of the IoT with security at the forefront of the
conversation is now emerging as a must-have for the connected
world. Bridging systems in the cloud provides scale, consistency,
and flexibility to organizations to access data across the IoT and
developers to innovate to deliver new value. AWS is delighted to
collaborate with BlackBerry on UEM edge and IoT solutions to
deliver unified and innovative endpoint management solution for the
future of the connected world," said Dr. Sarah Cooper, General Manager for Industry
Products at AWS.
The IoT is a foundational pillar of the future of digital
transformation and unlocks new business opportunities for
organizations by dramatically extending the reach of information
technology. The value of enterprise IoT is largely untapped today
due to the heavy compute requirements of the IoT and the complexity
of the IoT network. Edge computing addresses the increasing demand
for real-time data processing and analysis, and increased endpoint
visibility provides valuable situational awareness and security
benefits, enabling organizations to easily integrate IoT into their
IT strategies.
BlackBerry UEM holds the most security certifications in the
industry and is the only UEM product to be named 2023 Customers
Choice by Gartner® Peer Insights™.
AWS provides reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing
services to organizations around the world. For more information on
