5.13.1 Introduction
Acronis and MobileIron have partnered to bring Acronis Access's mobile file management to the
MobileIron AppConnect platform. This Acronis Access capability allows the standard Access Mobile
Client app to optionally be auto-configured and managed, along with other AppConnect-enabled
apps, by AppConnect defined policies. The Acronis Access also supports MobileIron AppTunnel for
remote access to Acronis Access Gateway servers residing inside the corporate data center.
The components of Acronis Access with MobileIron AppConnect include:

MobileIron Virtual Smartphone platform (VSP) - A server-based console that allows the
enterprise to enable client access to AppConnect-enabled apps, auto-configure those apps,
create policies that govern app capabilities, and the ability to revoke access to or wipe
AppConnect-enabled apps on specific devices.

MobileIron Sentry - This service is used to provide network access for AppConnect-enabled apps
needing to communicate with on-premise application servers, such as a Acronis Access Gateway
server.

MobileIron Mobile@Work app - This app brokers the authentication and configuration of
AppConnect-enabled apps. It must be installed on the mobile device before AppConnect-enabled
apps can be configured and managed.

Acronis Access iOS app - The standard version of Acronis Access for iOS (version 5.0 or later),
which is available on the Apple App Store, includes the ability to be configured and managed by
AppConnect and to communicate with Acronis Access Gateway servers through AppTunnel.

Acronis Access Server - The standard version of Acronis Access Server (version 5.0 or later), is
fully compatible with Access Mobile Clients managed by AppConnect.
5.13.2 Testing a trial version of Acronis Access with AppConnect
The process of trialing Acronis Access with AppConnect is very much the same as a regular Acronis
Access trial.
1. A trial version of the server-side software can be requested by visiting the Trial page. Once this
request form has been submitted, you will receive an email with links to download the Acronis
Access server trial installer and to the Quick Start Guide to assist in initial setup.
2. The Acronis Access iOS client app is a free download from the Apple App Store.

The Acronis Access iOS app needs to have an AppConnect configuration and policy created on your
MobileIron Virtual Smartphone platform (VSP) before it can be auto-configured for access to your
Acronis Access Gateway server(s).
