That’s because the move to make Jamf Pro available via Azure (cloud and marketplace) means those accustomed to using Azure to help manage and secure Windows devices can now use Jamf to manage and secure Apple devices from within the same familiar, unified environment.
More than Windows
This goes beyond just the PC. Many companies rely on Microsoft’s back-end technologies and services, so the move to bring Jamf into Azure will make life a little easier there too.
To an extent, this reflects what current Jamf CEO, John Strosahl told me last year: “Many companies still use Windows applications and services, and we do support some of those activities on network security and the like — things that are further from the device. But the closer you get to the device, the more we believe that Apple is the future.”
