SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UPDATING DOWNLOADED APPLICATIONS USING MANAGED CONTAINER

摘要

A managed container may be configured to manage enterprise applications, manage enterprise information stored on a device, manage a protected storage area used by the managed container to store and reference the enterprise applications during execution, and manage a database storing enterprise rules related to management of the enterprise applications and the enterprise information. The managed container may communicate with an application gateway server to control download and update of the enterprise applications, the enterprise information, and the enterprise rules. The application gateway server may be coupled to a backend enterprise application. At least one of the enterprise applications may be configured to execute in conjunction with the backend enterprise application according to at least one of the enterprise rules, and is configured to, according to another one of the enterprise rules, manage the enterprise information associated with the backend enterprise application.
