sluttbrukersystem

Sluttbrukersystem, or end-user system, is the set of hardware and software an individual uses to perform tasks. In organizations, this includes devices such as desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, along with the operating systems and applications installed on them. They are distinct from back-end infrastructure like servers and networks.

Common components include the hardware itself, operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android), productivity and business applications, web services, and peripherals. Organisations often deploy a standardized image or profile to ensure security, compatibility, and support across devices.

Management is typically handled by endpoint management tools and mobile device management. Tasks include software distribution, patching, asset tracking, and applying security policies. Key security measures are device encryption, antivirus, multi-factor authentication, secure configuration, and controlled network access. BYOD and COPE models affect governance and privacy.

Trends affecting end-user systems include greater mobility, cloud-based applications, and virtual desktop infrastructure. Reliability and performance of end-user systems are central to IT service management, with emphasis on user support and incident response.
