Release Highlights
XTreme Hub on Linux
Administrators can now enroll Linux devices as XTreme Hubs. XTreme Hubs enable faster deployment of files and packages from the SOTI MobiControl server to the managed devices. As an intermediary between the SOTI MobiControl deployment servers and the Android or Windows Mobile/CE devices, Xtreme Hub reduces the bandwidth load on the network connection between the server and the devices. Note that Xtreme Hub functionality is available only to SOTI MobiControl customers who have purchased the SOTI Premium Plus or Enterprise Plus Service.
