Chromebooks have become increasingly popular in education, thanks to their ease of use for both students and IT staff. Google is looking to expand Chromebook usage in another market - businesses. Today, the company announced Chrome Enterprise, a subscription service for managing large amounts of Chrome OS devices.

Chrome Enterprise is primarily for device management - IT admins can remotely set Chrome extensions, installed Android apps (on supported models), connected printers, networks, and even Chrome OS updates. The service also makes it easier for Chromebooks to be used in a company's existing tech infrastructure, as integration with Microsoft Active Directory and VMware Workspace ONE are fully supported.

Google will be hosting an online seminar about Chrome Enterprise tomorrow, with a live Q&A planned. The subscription has a flat cost of $50 per device annually.
