Integration of RSM with HP Anyware
The use of HP Remote System Controller in the HP Anyware environment significantly expands infrastructure management capabilities. This enables:
remotely powering on computers on demand – devices do not need to remain constantly on,
reducing power consumption and operational costs,
full support for working in dark zone environments, where there is no internet access or cloud-based automated management.
RSM and Anyware together create a scalable, secure, and efficient remote work ecosystem – for both individual users and entire fleets of computers in large organizations.
