Broader support, Stronger infrastructure

Think about the devices driving your business today—it’s far more than just desktops and phones. Organizations are diving into a whole new world of devices and platforms. With the power of open-source technologies, advanced breakthroughs, and specialized systems, businesses are no longer restricted to a narrow set of tools.

That’s why Hexnode’s expanded support is so exciting! We’ve brought together the best of these platforms—Linux, ChromeOS, and visionOS—under one roof, giving you the flexibility to manage all your devices, no matter how varied your devices are – all in one secure platform. Hexnode makes sure your infrastructure is fully prepared for enterprise device management, seamlessly and with exceptional security.

Evolving with trusted platforms

1. Linux

From developing a new application to managing servers, Linux is the go-to platform for many IT professionals. Its flexibility, security, and reliability have made it a favored choice in many industries. As more businesses adopt Linux, the need for a more efficient management system becomes even more pressing.

Managing Linux systems can become more complex as your infrastructure scales, and we’re here to simplify that. That’s why we’ve included Linux support in our UEM platform, offering:

• A centralized management dashboard that allows you to handle Linux systems alongside your other platforms—without the extra headache.
• Advanced security and compliance tools that help ensure devices meet regulatory and internal standards.
• Remote control for seamless software updates and real-time troubleshooting.

Hexnode ensures that companies can manage their infrastructure securely and efficiently, no matter how their needs evolve.

2. ChromeOS

Once considered a niche operating system, ChromeOS has swiftly risen to prominence, especially in education, healthcare, and remote/hybrid work sectors. Its minimalistic design, combined with powerful cloud-first infrastructure, has made it the operating system of choice for businesses seeking a future-proof solution.

Hexnode enhances the capabilities of ChromeOS with advanced management features including:

• Real-time device tracking to help prevent loss and enable quick asset recovery.
• Remotely lock or wipe devices at the click of a button if a device goes missing, protecting sensitive information.
• User activity monitoring and policy enforcement to maintain compliance seamlessly across all devices.
• Insightful reporting for real-time visibility into device status, and security, ensuring a secure and compliant infrastructure.

Hexnode’s ChromeOS management makes it easy to protect your devices and deliver a consistent, user-friendly experience—from the cloud to the classroom.

3. visionOS

When visionOS was first introduced, it quickly became apparent that it was going to reshape the way businesses approach augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Imagine your employees receiving immersive, hands-on training or your design team collaborating in a virtual workspace, bringing ideas to life in ways like never before. visionOS, Apple’s OS for mixed-reality headsets, opens new frontiers in enterprise solutions, from enhanced product development to customer interaction.

As one of the first UEM providers to offer visionOS management, Hexnode enables businesses to:

• Streamline AR/VR application management, ensuring visionOS devices run only the essential tools that drive business growth, all through Hexnode’s intuitive app management.
• Integrate visionOS devices seamlessly into your network with advanced network settings, keeping devices secure and protecting data and infrastructure from unauthorized access
