Extension Overview
Matrix42 Unified Endpoint Management consists of the following configuration packages:
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Endpoint Management | Provides the Unified User Experience management and configuration console for modern and classic device management based on the core products Matrix42 Empirum (Client Management) and Matrix42 Silverback (Enterprise Mobility Management). Additional management engines can be connected. |
| Enterprise Service Bus | The Enterprise Service Bus is a required backend technology taking care of the communication between the Application Server and the Enterprise Automation Platform (EAP). Azure Service Bus for Cloud and RabbitMQ for on-premises installations are currently supported by the Enterprise Service Bus technology. |
| File Upload Service | The File Upload Service provides base components which are used by the package upload wizard. The extension is hidden in the Extension Gallery, but will be automatically installed when installing the Unified Endpoint Management Extension. The configuration of the extension is located in Administration - File Upload Service - Storage Connections. |
| Intune Integration Core | The extension provides a base data structure for Intune managed devices. The extension is hidden in the Extension Gallery, but will be automatically installed when installing the Unified Endpoint Management extension. Intune device management requires the Intune Inventory Data Provider and the Enterprise Management Platform license. |
