Linux Device Management, MDM

Running Linux on a handful of machines is straightforward. Running it across dozens or hundreds of endpoints, with consistent configurations, timely updates, and enforceable policies, requires a deliberate approach. Linux device management and Mobile Device Management (MDM) is about putting the right tooling and processes in place so your IT team can maintain a fleet of workstations without it becoming a full-time burden.

We advise on the tools that make fleet management practical: configuration management with Ansible, Salt, or Puppet; automated provisioning with PXE boot, cloud-init, or custom imaging pipelines; and update strategies that balance security with stability. The right combination depends on the size of your fleet, your team’s skill set, and how much variation you need to support across different roles and departments.

Policy enforcement is a key consideration for companies with security standards to uphold. We help you define and implement policies for disk encryption, screen lock, software restrictions, and access controls, all managed centrally and applied consistently. Open-source tooling gives you full visibility into what is being enforced and how, which is something proprietary endpoint management platforms often obscure.

We also plan for the ongoing operational reality: how updates are tested before rollout, how exceptions are handled, how new machines are onboarded, and how decommissioned hardware is wiped. The goal is a device management approach that scales with your company and gives your IT team confidence that the fleet is secure, up to date, and under control.
