FAQ

Answered

What is Googlebook?

Googlebook is Google’s upcoming Android-based desktop platform for laptops and other personal computers. It brings Android technologies and applications to PC-class hardware while continuing to use the Linux kernel.

Does Swif currently support Googlebook?

Swif has announced preliminary MDM support for Googlebook. This means Swif is actively evaluating and adapting its management capabilities while Google finalizes the platform and its enterprise interfaces.

Which Googlebook capabilities is Swif evaluating?

Swif is evaluating device discovery, enrollment, hardware identification, OS and build reporting, application inventory, Android application management, compliance reporting, remote management, network configuration, certificates, security posture, updates, and policy enforcement.

Can Googlebook devices be managed with other operating systems?

Swif’s goal is to manage supported Googlebook devices from the same platform used for Android, Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, and ChromeOS endpoints.

Why isn’t Googlebook managed as a standard Linux distribution?

Although Googlebook uses the Linux kernel, its operating-system family and management architecture are based on Android. Traditional Linux concepts such as package managers, system services, users, and shell access may not be exposed in the same way.

Is Googlebook the same as ChromeOS?

No. Googlebook is described as a new Android-based desktop platform that brings together technologies from Android, ChromeOS, and Linux. Its final enterprise-management architecture will depend on Google’s production implementation.
