A Great Solution Starts with a Robust Architecture

Industry-standard Technology

AirWatch uses industry standard Microsoft technology. The AirWatch solution consists of an ASP.NET standard HTML5 web application and uses a Microsoft SQL database backend. This makes the AirWatch application easy to deploy, manage, and monitor alongside your existing enterprise applications (e.g. Exchange).

Device, Console and Database Components

The AirWatch solution consists of three main components. Device Services are key to the successful operation of the AirWatch system and are used to communicate with your mobile devices. The Admin Console provides a web application for administration and end user self-service. The Database works persistently to store application data and device information.

Scalability

The AirWatch solution is designed to easily scale from 10 to 100,000 devices. The frontend components of the application can be separated from the database server and deployed behind a network load balancer in an active-active configuration, which easily scales to support additional device capacity.

Multi-tenancy

The AirWatch software application is multi-tenant and allows you to delegate role-based access control to both user groups and specific device groups. This allows your organization to absorb fragmentation within your corporate infrastructure (e.g. disconnect AD servers, forests, domains) into a single instance of AirWatch software.

Configurability

The AirWatch software is architected around componentization of core functions. This allows you to deploy the software specific to your environment and architecture requirements. You get the option to choose if your end user ports are exposed to the internet or on a separate server. If you want to scale a single component in the DMZ, AirWatch can be configured to scale only the components you need.

Physical or Virtual

If your company is deploying AirWatch on premise on your own hardware, our solution is designed to install on both physical and virtual servers and can be loaded on VMware or Hyper-V instances.

High Availability

AirWatch can be deployed in a highly available environment with all components made to instantly fail over without downtime. AirWatch supports utilizing network load balancers, VM HA technologies, and server clustering to provide a full highly available solution from the application servers to the SQL database.

Disaster Recovery

The AirWatch architecture fully supports Disaster Recovery configurations and the software can be setup in a remote data center and enabled in the event of a data center failure. Since AirWatch synchronizes your data to the remote data center, no information is lost during the failure and your mobile devices continue to function.
