HP Client Automation Enterprise

HP Client Automation Enterprise can manage hundreds of thousands of client devices. It can be used to manage Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux desktops and laptops, mobile devices and tablets running on iOS and Android, HP thin clients, and Windows and Linux servers.[7]

HP Client Automation Enterprise uses a desired state management model[8] where IT defines how it wants devices to look through a series of policies, while agents on client devices proactively synchronize and manage to that defined state.[9] This model results in higher levels of compliance while at the same time significantly reducing the amount of effort needed to manage the environment.[10] It is especially effective for notebook or laptop PCs because infrequent and lower bandwidth connections can limit the effectiveness of task-based models that are commonly found across the industry.[11]

The major new features in the 9.00 release are:

  • Mobile device (iOS and Android) Support
  • Management over the Internet
  • Windows 8 Support
  • end-to-end IPv6 Support
  • Patch Management for Adobe and Java software
  • Target-wise Role Based Access Control
  • If anything goes wrong please refer to "Something has gone wrong" quote Steve Hilsley
