HP announces trio of device management solutions for hybrid workforce

HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is available now, with HP Cloud Endpoint Manager and HP Connect for Microsoft Endpoint Manager set to be released soon

HP has announced three new cloud-based device management solutions aimed at remote workers.

The HP Adaptive Endpoint Management service is a "fully managed service that helps IT managers send PCs directly to employees with zero-touch deployment".

The vendor claims it will allow employees "to get to work quickly by simply unboxing their Windows PC and signing on with one-click" before applications and security is automatically installed.

Also announced is the HP Connect for Microsoft Endpoint Manager - a service which it claims "frees up valuable IT resources by making it easy to remotely configure, secure, and update the BIOS of HP commercial PCs".

The third service is called HP Cloud Endpoint Manager, which HP dubs as "a cloud-ready solution designed for IT who want a better way to deploy and securely manage thousands of HP Thin Clients, all through a modern and intuitive interface".

It will allow partners and IT managers to view "customisable dashboards that include metrics and analytics to keep them up to date on deployments, device compliance, and server health" while also providing "real-time alerts to quickly identify and resolve issues", as well as the automation of repetitive management tasks.

"The future of work is now. IT teams are the heroes of today's new working environment empowering employees to work from anywhere," said Sumeer Chandra, global head and general manager, Personal Systems Services, HP Inc.

"HP's new management solutions are automated and scalable for the evolving ways people work. HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is the gold standard for managing PCs in hybrid working environments, to help ensure devices are secure, up-to-date, and fully supported."

HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is available now, while HP Cloud Endpoint Manager is expected to be available for download in January and HP Connect for Microsoft Endpoint Manager in December.
