Open Source MDM State of the Union 2018 – Jesse Peterson, Facebook
The Device Enrollment Program (DEP) is part of the Apple Deployment Programs (ADP), which help businesses and educational institutions easily deploy and configure iOS and OS X/macOS devices.
Mobile device management (MDM) is an industry term for the management of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablet computers, laptops and desktop computers. MDM is usually implemented with the use of a third party product that has management features for particular vendors of systems.
MDM is coming up on 8 years old and DEP almost 4. Open Source MDM solutions have only existed for some of that time, but maturing quickly. Let’s take a brief look at the history of Open Source MDM, the state of affairs now, and where we’re going. We might even get our hands a little dirty.
Jesse Peterson has managed Macs for many years as a consultant and recently now helps manage the dynamic fleet of machines at Facebook as a Client Platform Engineer. An avid supporter and developer of Open Source software he’s contributed to many Apple Admin community projects and authored a few himself.
