It’s Time to Rethink Linux Device Management

Linux MDM isn't supposed to exist, but fleet orchestration keeps getting more complex

Stop fighting your fleet. SSH into one box? Fine. SSH into a thousand? That’s a joke. Scripts, cron jobs, and ad-hoc workflows don’t scale. Esper’s Linux MDM does.

It’s built for today’s mission-critical Linux devices — from kiosks and digital signage to robotics and edge AI for simplified fleet management across distros, form factors, and architectures.

Ditch Script Sprawl with a Linux MDM Built for Full Control

Linux gives you power. But at fleet scale, that power can turn into chaos when provisioning, compliance, drift, and troubleshooting across distros and form factors become very real. 
Esper’s orchestration tools give you visibility, automation, and guardrails so you avoid terminal windows at 2 AM. 
Automated management. Less grind. 

Provision, configure, and fix devices without babysitting them. Deployments stay consistent, troubleshooting stays fast. Fewer late-night SSH sessions, fewer mistakes.

Security that doesn’t get in your way

RBAC with LDAP/SSO, encrypted tunnels instead of wide-open SSH, and logs ready for audits. Locked down where it matters, without slowing you down.

Click for speed. Script for precision.

UI for the quick stuff. API and CLI when you want root-level precision. Junior teammates don’t need to SSH. You still can.

FAQs

What is Linux device management?
Linux device management software helps teams configure, monitor, and secure Linux-based devices across different distributions and hardware types. It helps organizations orchestrate their entire Linux fleet by making it easier to deploy, update mission-critical systems at scale, ensuring consistent performance, compliance, and security.
How can Linux device management help scale large device fleets?
With zero-touch provisioning and automated deployment and configuration, you can deploy thousands of devices at once, with device grouping options for granular management at scale. Proactive compliance alerts and automated remediation help ensure every device is compliant, and custom actions turn manual scripts into a simple button.
Does it support remote terminal for troubleshooting?
Yes, it includes secure remote terminal access. This lets IT teams diagnose and fix issues from any browser without VPNs, ports, or onsite technicians, reducing downtime and service costs. 
How does it improve compliance and security?
Role-based access controls, compliance templates, and real-time alerts help maintain device security. Out-of-compliance devices are flagged proactively, and they can be pushed back into compliance at the click of a button.
