1.2 System components

In this manual, when referring to a system managed by JP1/ITDM2 - SDM, defined names are used for system components such as smart devices and the servers on which JP1/ITDM2 - SDM is installed.

The following table gives definitions used in JP1/ITDM2 - SDM for basic system components.

No.

Component name

Definition

1

Smart device manager

The server on which JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Smart Device Manager) is installed as a relay system. A database for storing the various information managed by JP1/ITDM2 - SDM is created on the management server.

One smart device manager can manage up to 2,000 smart devices.

2

ITDM2 management server

A component that manages IT assets (such as PCs and server devices) and smart devices, in a unified manner

3

Administrator's computer

A computer used by the administrator for on-screen operation of JP1/ITDM2 - SDM. The administrator displays JP1/ITDM2 - SDM program modules from a Web browser. Therefore, JP1/ITDM2 - SDM can be operated on any computer that can access the smart device manager. The smart device manager itself can be used as the administrator's computer.

4

Communication server

A server on which JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Communication Server) is installed for data communication with smart devices.

This server collects inventory information from smart devices and stores it in the database. If an inventory acquisition request, lock or initialization request, or policy application request is sent from the administrator, the communication server requests the smart device to perform processing.

5

Messaging server

A server on which JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Messaging Server) is installed. This server provides synchronization between an Android device and JP1/ITDM2 - SDM.

If an inventory acquisition request, lock or initialization request, or other request is sent from the administrator, this server requests the Android device to connect to the communication server.

6

Android device

An Android device on which JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Smart Device Android Agent), which monitors and controls the Android device, is installed.

The Android device sends smart device information (such as inventory and location information) to JP1/ITDM2 - SDM, and performs processing in response to a lock or initialization request from the administrator.

7

iOS device

An iOS device on which JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Smart Device iOS Agent), which monitors and controls the iOS device, is installed.

The iOS device sends smart device information such as inventory information to JP1/ITDM2 - SDM.

8

APNs server

An Apple server that controls iOS devices. An inventory acquisition request, lock or initialization request or other request from JP1/ITDM2 - SDM to an iOS device is sent via the APNs server.

The following figure shows an example of a basic system configuration consisting of these components and managed by JP1/ITDM2 - SDM.
