"It gives you one way of unifying the experience across all applications, one place to unify your management across all devices," Dhawan said. The new Workspace One release will manage and enforce security polices and provide Office 365 data loss prevention (DLP) upon release of the Office APIs by Microsoft. It also has a simplified mobile single sign-on interface, and using the Microsoft Graph API, it can apply Office 365 enrollment and management, as well as support for other SaaS apps. The company has added the VMware Identity Manager into its AirWatch console, which it said will provide a common interface for managing devices, context and identity. By "extensively," Dhawan explained that their use goes beyond just enrollment and providing policy management it's about integrating identity management and applying context, while striking a balance between providing user control and privacy and ensuring that corporate data remains secure.ĭhawan said Workspace One has evolved to meet its mission of bringing mobile, desktop and application management together in a "holistic" manner. "Within VMware, we have leveraged those public APIs extensively," said Sumit Dhawan, senior VP and general manager of the company's End User Computing business in his keynote address Monday afternoon. VMware and Google announced last week a partnership to enable Chromebook management with Workspace One. The unified MDM capability is now possible because Microsoft earlier this year released the Intune portion of its Graph APIs, and Apple has provided device management APIs that will be available in its fall macOS Sierra upgrade. If organizations embrace this new approach to desktop deployment and lifecycle management, it could accelerate a shift away from the traditional approach of creating and deploying images.
VMware claims it's the first to provide a unified approach to enrolling and managing PCs, Macs and Chromebooks, as well as mobile devices, using the same MDM capabilities. Mac and Chromebook users will have the same capability later this year, the company said. Organizations can now incorporate the same security, polices and MDM capabilities used to manage mobile devices and apply them to Windows 10 PCs, VMware announced at this week's VMworld conference in Las Vegas.
VMware is making it possible for users to connect their Windows 10 PCs, Macs and Chromebooks to enterprise networks the same way they enroll their Android and iOS phones with the company's AirWatch mobile device management (MDM) systems.ĪirWatch, an integral component of VMware's Workspace One platform, can now let employees enroll their Windows 10 PCs just like mobile devices, by entering their enterprise credentials.
