Radia Client Automation software is an end-user device (PC and mobile device) lifecycle management tool for automating routine client-management tasks such as operating system deployments and upgrades, patch management, application software deployment, application use monitoring, security, compliance, and remote system management.
HP is also selling the Radia Client Automation products from Persistent.
[2] Radia Client Automation has been called various names in its life-cycle: HP OpenView Configuration Management software,[3] Radia Enterprise Desktop Manager (EDM),[4][5] and HP Client Automation Software.
[7] Radia Client Automation uses a desired state management model[8] where IT defines how it wants devices to look through a series of policies, while agents on client devices proactively synchronize and manage to that defined state.
[9] This model results in higher levels of compliance while at the same time significantly reducing the amount of effort needed to manage the environment.
