Hexnode has expanded its Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform to support Linux management, addressing India’s growing demand for robust endpoint security and control as enterprises embrace open-source systems.
“As Indian enterprises turn to Linux, looking to cut licencing costs, drive innovation and improve efficiency, the need for effective management of these devices becomes essential. Our enhanced UEM capabilities equip businesses with the right tools to seamlessly manage and secure their Linux environments as they navigate this digital transformation.”– said Apu Pavithran, CEO of Hexnode.
Advanced Linux Management for Indian Enterprises
As one of the largest Linux markets in Asia, India’s Linux adoption is surging, particularly in IT services, BFSI, telecom, and government sectors. With the Linux OS market in India projected to grow at a CAGR of 15-20% over the next five years, the push from government-backed open-source initiatives, widespread cloud adoption, and escalating cybersecurity threats further highlight the need for robust Linux management solutions.
Hexnode’s Linux management equips IT teams with:
- OS update control to choose between upgrading the entire OS or installing only specific security updates.
- Web content filtering to restrict access to harmful or non-compliant websites.
- Execution of Custom Scripts with Hexnode Genie to automate repetitive tasks and apply granular configurations.
- Ability to manage apps across Linux devices by installing, uninstalling, updating and blocking access to restricted apps.
- Remote control over Linux devices and live access to their terminals for efficient troubleshooting.
- Deployment of digital certificates for secure authentication and encrypted communication.
Multi-OS support for India’s Modern Enterprises
In addition to Linux, Hexnode is extending its UEM support to ChromeOS and visionOS, catering to India’s evolving technology landscape across industries.
- ChromeOS for Education and Beyond: With India’s rapid shift to digital education, Chromebooks are becoming essential in modern classrooms. Their affordability, ease of use, and seamless cloud integration make them a preferred choice for schools and universities. Hexnode streamlines management with bulk enrollment, remote actions, app controls, and kiosk mode, ensuring a secure and focused learning environment. Beyond education, retailers leverage ChromeOS for secure point-of-sale systems, digital signage, and self-service kiosks, where centralized control is critical.
- visionOS for Immersive Workflows: As businesses explore with Apple Vision Pro for immersive training and interactive customer engagement, the need to make these devices enterprise-ready is important. visionOS is redefining experiences in healthcare, real estate, and design by enabling real-time collaboration and visualization. Hexnode’s management suite ensures security compliance, app control, and network configurations, helping businesses integrate visionOS seamlessly into their workflows.
