BlackBerry in collaboration with AWS announces UEM at the Edge and UEM for the IoT

BlackBerry Limited, a pioneer in enterprise mobility management, today announced two major Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) innovations: BlackBerry UEM at the edge and BlackBerry UEM for the IoT.

BlackBerry® UEM software is used to manage, monitor, and protect all end-user devices in an organization. Bringing BlackBerry UEM to the edge will improve enterprise productivity and the employee experience by placing workloads close to the end user and their device for ultra-low latency connectivity, while maintaining the highest security standards in what customers trust and rely on BlackBerry: In testing, users saw a latency reduction of up to 87%. The solution brings BlackBerry's Network Operations Center (NOC), the company's proprietary 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 generated and consumed. BlackBerry UEM at the edge supports BlackBerry UEM on-prem and cloud.

BlackBerry UEM for the Internet of Things (IoT) will extend unified endpoint management to IoT devices, enabling organizations to leverage the tremendous benefits of 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 visibility and manage IoT endpoints and train 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 market leader in enterprise mobility management for over twenty years. We are once again revolutionizing the market, ahead of the industry in endpoint management innovation and paving the way for convergence" said Neelam Sandhu , head of customer success at 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 everything." of the connected world, encompassing how we live and work.

"IoT has advanced in recent years in different sectors: automotive, business, medicine and manufacturing. The convergence of the Internet of Things with security at the forefront of the conversation is now emerging as essential for the connected world. Uniting systems The cloud provides scale, consistency and flexibility for organizations to access data through the IoT and for developers to innovate and deliver new value. AWS is excited to collaborate with BlackBerry on UEM edge and IoT solutions to deliver a solution for unified and innovative endpoint management for the future of the connected world," said Dr. Sarah Cooper , General Manager of Industrial Products at AWS.

IoT is a foundational pillar of the future of digital transformation and unlocks new business opportunities for organizations by dramatically expanding the reach of information technology. The value of enterprise IoT is largely untapped today due to the large computing requirements of IoT and the complexity of the IoT network. Edge computing responds to the growing demand for real-time data processing and analysis, and the increased visibility into endpoints provides valuable situational awareness and security benefits, allowing organizations to easily integrate IoT into their IT strategies.
