1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch
This chapter provides an overview of how to deploy iPhone,
iPod touch, and iPad in your enterprise.
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad are designed to easily integrate with your enterprise
systems, including Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007, 802.1X-based secure wireless
networks, and Cisco IPSec virtual private networks. As with any enterprise solution,
good planning and an understanding of your deployment options make deployment
easier and more efficient for you and your users.
When planning your deployment of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, consider the
following:
 How will your company’s iPhones and iPad (Wi-Fi + 3G models) be activated for
wireless cellular service?
 Which enterprise network services, applications, and data will your users need to
access?
 What policies do you want to set on the devices to protect sensitive company data?
 Do you want to manually configure devices individually, or use a streamlined process
for configuring a large fleet?
The specifics of your enterprise environment, IT policies, wireless carrier, and your
computing and communication requirements affect how you tailor your deployment
strategy.
