MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF) introduced that it’s working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create a streamlined and highly effective workflow to manage and provide an added layer of safety to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Mac cases at scale. This workflow permits organizations to provide managed, trusted entry to their macOS workloads on AWS. Software engineering, safety, and artistic groups can all use ephemeral macOS environments on AWS, managed and secured by Jamf. This can provide unprecedented ease for organizations to scale macOS sources far and broad.
“The relationship between AWS and Jamf brings the power of AWS to the leading Apple Enterprise Management framework, providing real value at scale to organizations across many internal workgroups,” stated Dean Hager, CEO, Jamf. “We’re excited to continue to push the envelope on what’s possible with cloud-first technologies centered around the Apple platform.”
Amazon EC2 supplies scalable computing capability
Amazon EC2 Mac cases enable prospects to run on-demand macOS workloads on the cloud, extending the pliability, scalability, and value advantages of AWS to all Apple builders. With Amazon EC2 Mac cases, builders creating apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Safari can provision and entry macOS environments inside seconds, dynamically scale capability as wanted, and profit from pay-as-you-go pricing. Customers can seamlessly provision and entry macOS compute environments to take pleasure in handy, distributed testing and quick app builds, bringing extra selection to builders to allow them to use Mac as their trusted platform, on-premises or on the cloud. Customers can even consolidate growth of cross-platform Apple, Windows, and Android apps on AWS, main to elevated developer productiveness and accelerated time to market.
AWS gives organizations the pliability of selecting Intel or Apple-design M1 system on a chip (SoC) with its Amazon EC2 virtualized machines. Mac builders re-architecting apps to natively assist Macs with Apple silicon could now construct and take a look at apps and take benefit of all the advantages of AWS. Developers constructing for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV may even profit from quicker builds, and have the ability to launch and join to as many or as few digital Macs as wanted to scale up or down to deal with modifications in business or construct necessities.
“As a service provider managing tens of thousands of Macs across our enterprise customers, we understand the value that Jamf provides. It enables us to ensure the security, management, and seamless onboarding of Apple devices into our platform of services,” said James Ridsdale, founder of dataJAR. “Our employees love using Mac and we are seeing a significant increase in Apple device adoption across our customer base. Jamf allows us to manage this scale efficiently. We are excited to see Jamf’s work with AWS to continue to provide more options for organizations who are looking to adopt a range of computing options for their employees, contractors, and engineering workflows through the management of Amazon EC2 Mac virtualized instances. We think this will be a compelling solution for many types of customers.”
Jamf helps IT and security teams manage and secure these new machines
An organization needs to ensure that its virtual machines are as secure as their physical machines. Leveraging the power of Apple and AWS, Jamf has taken the concept of zero-touch-deployment further than before. Amazon EC2 infrastructure is built on Mac Mini’s in secure data centers. Now through Jamf’s leading management and security solutions, organizations can now provide trusted access to virtual Macs in the same manner they do physical Macs, which provides flexible resource allocation to organizations that rely on Mac for critical components of their business.
“We are proud to work with Jamf to help organizations succeed with Apple,” said David Brown, vice president of Amazon EC2 at AWS. “Now AWS, in conjunction with Jamf, is able to power a holistic, cloud-first Apple Enterprise Management experience, ensuring a high level of product availability, quick and convenient software distribution to all endpoints, and the perfect environment to spin up and manage dynamic native Amazon EC2 resources on Apple for a multitude of organizational needs.”
This custom workflow is available for AWS and Jamf customers today.
