EV Reach Cloud Service
The EV Reach Cloud Service is a comprehensive and secure solution that offers IT admins the convenience of accessing their devices from any location, without having to install on-premises servers or make any changes to corporate firewall settings.
Creating a new Cloud Service Instance
You may create a trial instance at the EV Reach Customer Portal.
Select the Cloud Service Page and click “Create Instance.”
💡 If you do not see an option to create a cloud instance in the EV Reach Portal, please reach out to your customer account representative.
Choosing a region
Your instance can be hosted in one of several regions. Choose a region that is closest to your users for the best experience.
Instance Provisioning
It will take some time to prepare your dedicated EV Reach Service Instance. The instance state will show ACTIVE when it is ready.
Once your Instance is ACTIVE, it will be ready to use. Assign EV Reach Console Licenses to it so you can begin connecting to systems.
💡 This process can take up to 15 minutes.
Assigning an EV Reach console license to your Cloud Service
Assigning EV Reach Console licenses to your EV Reach Service Instance will allow the Reach Console to automatically configure itself at the next login.
At this point, On-Demand Sessions will be available instantly.
Deploying Agents for unattended management
Agents can be pushed via on premise installations, or you may generate an Agent Installer to push agents with other systems such as Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
See the Agent Manager for more information.

Once agents have been deployed they will start communicating with your EV Reach Cloud Instance.
