Deployment

Effortless installation and maintenance

A Linux server with Docker on your premises, a signed MSI agent on your devices, a three-step enrolment. After that, agents are updated from the console.

01Requirements

What you need

ServerLinux with Docker, installed inside your network
SizingIndicative: 4 vCPU and 8 GB of RAM for 1,000 devices. Confirmed when we review your fleet.
Fleet size100 to 1,000 devices per installation
Managed systemsWindows (workstations and servers), Linux (servers)
NetworkAgents reach the server outbound, on port 8443, over your local network or VPN. No port open on devices.
ConsoleReachable from the networks you authorise, never exposed to the Internet. In French and English.
BackupsAutomatic every night, with a documented restore procedure

Roaming devices outside the VPN are not supported yet.

02Enrolment

Three steps per device

Create an enrolment token

In the console, you generate a time-limited, use-limited token. You can revoke it at any time.

Install the agent

Signed MSI installer: a double-click, or a silent msiexec command rolled out through GPO or Intune.

The device shows up

The device joins the console, identified by the key stored in its TPM chip. It is ready to be monitored and updated.

Silent deployment

A single command, distributed through GPO or Intune across the whole fleet.

PS> msiexec /i EPMAgent.msi /qn
  • Reinstall without losing history: the machine is recognised by its TPM chip.
  • Windows and Linux agents updated from the console, with automatic rollback if the agent does not reconnect.
  • Revoke a device in one click.
