10ZiG Technology unveiled 10ZiG Manager v6 for Linux, a next-generation centralized management platform fully rebuilt on a Linux-based virtual appliance. The new version marks a major upgrade from its Windows predecessor, offering enhanced security, easier deployment, and reduced total cost of ownership.
Unlike competing solutions that require costly subscriptions or license add-ons, 10ZiG Manager v6 will remain completely free and will be included with every 10ZiG thin and zero client and RepurpOS license.
“With 10ZiG Manager v6, we’ve taken a huge step forward in how organizations can manage their endpoints,” said Kevin Greenway, CTO, 10ZiG Technology. “By moving to a Linux-based foundation, we’ve eliminated unnecessary complexity, reduced operating costs, and enhanced security. Most importantly, we’ve delivered this upgrade while staying true to our promise: 10ZiG Manager is still free, with no hidden costs, unlike competing solutions. This release is not just an update, it’s the next generation of endpoint management.”
Lightweight and self-contained
The centerpiece of the new 10ZiG Manager release is its new Linux-based architecture, which delivers a lightweight, self-contained, and highly secure deployment model. By decoupling completely from Windows, organizations can run 10ZiG Manager on lower-overhead virtual machines without the expense of Windows Server licenses. This not only reduces total cost of ownership but also helps eliminate Windows-related vulnerabilities, patching cycles, and administrative overhead. For Linux-centric IT teams, it means a solution that aligns seamlessly with open standards, accelerates performance, and provides more flexibility in how and where 10ZiG Manager is deployed. Current support includes VMware and Nutanix environments, with additional hypervisor support on the roadmap.
Faster performance, improved scalability and greater security
A modernized web framework powers the brand-new 10ZiG Manager v6 Web Console. This redesign delivers faster performance, improved scalability, and an intuitive interface that enhances usability while retaining the simplicity administrators expect from 10ZiG solutions.
With v6, enterprises can also take advantage of advanced multitenancy support and granular organizational views. This enables greater security, more precise access management, and easier delegation of administrative responsibilities in large or complex environments.
Additional new and enhanced features include:
- Microsoft Entra ID (AAD) integration for modern identity management
- Enhanced notifications with thin client job success/failure alerts via SMTP
- Secure Connector and Secure Authorization for stronger cloud-based access
- Advanced configuration management for Linux clients, including retrieval, editing, and push of settings
- Remote shadowing via VNC, securely tunneled through Secure Connector
- Comprehensive reporting and logging, with downloadable endpoint and manager logs
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with user roles, permissions, and full audit logs
- Multilanguage support for global deployments
Customer-centric and cost-saving
By decoupling from Windows, 10ZiG Manager v6 offers a smaller footprint, streamlined updates, and fewer dependencies. This shift enables customers to deploy management servers on lightweight virtual machines without the need for Windows Server licensing—cutting costs while improving operational efficiency.
At the same time, 10ZiG continues to differentiate itself in the market by offering 10ZiG Manager completely free, unlike competitors who increasingly require flat fees or optional subscriptions for endpoint management.
