BlackBerry e Google porteranno BES12 su Android for Work
Nella giornata di ieri Google ha presentato al mondo Android for Work, una nuova soluzione basata su Lollipop che, grazie al supporto per il multiutente e la sicurezza garantita da SELinux, permette di creare profili lavorativi separati da quello personale sullo stesso smartphone. La collaborazione con BlackBerry in tal senso non era esattamente un segreto, visto che il marchio compariva proprio tra i partner commerciali della novità, e proprio in queste ore l'accordo tra Google e BlackBerry si è ufficializzato con un comunicato stampa piuttosto interessante.

BES12 permetterà alle società di gestire proprio Android for Work, permettendo quindi di creare profili sicuri per la gestione di dati e applicativi business.
Si tratta di una novità di grande rilievo specialmente per Google, che potrà grazie ad Android for Work garantire un alto livello di sicurezza per i profili business anche sugli smartphone con sistema operativo Android.

WATERLOO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – February 25, 2015) – BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY)(TSX: BB), a global leader in mobile communications, announced today that the Company is working with Google to enable BES12™: a cross-platform EMM solution by BlackBerry® to manage devices equipped with Android for Work, Google’s solution to securely separate business and personal data and applications.
Backed by BES12, Android for Work creates a secure, dedicated profile for business data and applications.

Android for Work will be deployable with BES12 either on-premise or in the cloud, and will be supported by BlackBerry’s gold standard of mobile security, scalable architecture and trusted network infrastructure.
“BlackBerry is working with Google to provide customers with solutions they can confidently deploy on all major mobile platforms within their organization,” said Billy Ho, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Products and Value Added Solutions, BlackBerry. “Android for Work with BES12 will provide customers with another option to enhance their mobile security and the productivity of their employees, and the peace of mind that they will not have to relinquish any control over corporate data, sacrifice user experience or introduce more complexity into their environments.”
