Hexnode to Include ChromeOS Management for Education
Hexnode has announced its expansion to include ChromeOS management, aligning with India’s digital education initiatives to enhance secure and efficient student device management.
With Chromebooks dominating the education sector for their affordability and ease of use, institutions are rapidly integrating ChromeOS into their learning infrastructure. A Forrester study found that schools deploying Chromebooks saw a 229% return on investment (ROI) and a 76% reduction in IT support time, highlighting the platform’s efficiency and cost benefits. However, managing and securing a large fleet of devices used by students with varying cybersecurity awareness presents significant challenges.
To bridge this gap, Hexnode now supports ChromeOS management, giving educational institutions more control over their devices while ensuring a safe digital experience for the students.
Speaking on the expansion, Apu Pavithran, CEO of Hexnode, said, “As technology continues to shape the future of education in India, managing and securing student devices is just as essential as providing access. With ChromeOS gaining ground in schools, our expanded support ensures institutions can maintain security, compliance, and a seamless learning experience.”
Simplified ChromeOS Management for Schools
Hexnode now offers several essential features for managing ChromeOS devices:
- Effortless Enrollment: Set up an entire classroom’s devices at once with Android Zero-Touch Enrollment for a seamless onboarding experience.
- Remote Actions: Wipe devices, enable/disable lost mode, and initiate remote control sessions to support troubleshooting in real time.
- Application Management: Push essential learning apps, block distractions, and configure app settings for focused learning.
- Centralized Dashboard: Gain complete visibility into student device details with real-time updates from a unified console.
