Cloud management networking solutions developer Meraki has updated its Systems Manager mobile device management solution,  adding support for Android among other new features. The company said that the solution is designed to respond to the changing needs of enterprises that are confronting the proliferation of mobile devices and the bring your own device (BYOD) trend.

The most recent version of Systems Manager includes the following features:

  • Android support — With this release, Systems Manager is available for Android smartphones and tablets running version 2.2 (Froyo) and above

  • Backpack — The solution’s Backpack feature simplifies the distribution of content to enrolled devices by allowing IT administrators to easily push files wirelessly to client devices
