Zenprise provides mobile device management solutions for enterprises, including Zenprise MobileManager™ for on-site deployments and Zencloud™ for cloud-based deployments. The solutions offer security and advanced mobile device management across the mobile platforms including iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Mobile.

Along with the new funding, Zenprise also said that Asheem Chandna has joined the Zenprise board of directors. Asheem has been a partner at Greylock Partners since 2003 and is no stranger to the world of IT security companies. He previously served as VP of business development and product management at Check Point Software and his experience includes prior investments and board seats with: Aruba Networks, CipherTrust (Intel), Imperva, Palo Alto Networks, Port Authority (Websense), Securent (Cisco), Sourcefire, and several others.

The company recently moved into a new 24,000-square-foot facility in Redwood City, California which serves as its U.S. headquarters.
