1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch
This chapter provides an overview of how to deploy iPhone
and iPod touch in your enterprise.
iPhone and iPod touch 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 and iPod touch consider the following:
 How will your company’s iPhones 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.
