The document discusses how a dual-boot Android solution using zertisa's container technology can help with mobile device management (MDM) in enterprise environments. It describes challenges with allowing both personal and enterprise use on a single device and outlines zertisa's approach of running two fully separated Android instances on one device through dual-boot. This provides flexibility, customization, and separation of work and personal data and apps while using only one device.
