Delivers Innovations to the Digital Workspace with Unified Endpoint Management, Windows 10 Support and Enhanced Identity Management
At VMworld 2016, VMware announced a new unified endpoint management approach for managing Windows 10, along with advancements to VMware Horizon and VMware Workspace ONE. These innovations help advance the digital workspace embraced by the industry and solve the challenge of supporting an increasingly mobile workforce that demands anytime, anywhere access to all applications from any device.
Sanjay Poonen, executive vice president and general manager, End-User Computing and head of global marketing and communications, VMware said, “We believe there is an incredible opportunity to push identity-driven secure digital workspaces for the delivery of any app on any device, especially as businesses shift to Windows 10 and increasingly offer cloud-based productivity suites such as Office 365 to employees. VMware’s digital workspace uses industry-leading technology from AirWatch and Horizon, coupled with identity management, and can immediately help solve fundamental challenges businesses face today like deploying Windows 10. In addition, we are also planning the next phase of the digital workspace to fundamentally change the endpoint management paradigm.”
Industry analyst firm Gartner reports that, “The future of endpoint management lies in consolidation of management tools that manage traditional PCs and mobile devices as a common management framework evolves across the two.”
Orion Hindawi, cofounder and CEO, Tanium said, “Customers say that managing multiple consoles for all their endpoint solutions is getting more cumbersome by the day. They need a streamlined solution that takes into account things like cloud, virtualization, mobility and the increased scale those changes have driven. They need less complexity to do more good work.”
As workforces become increasingly digital, VMware Horizon enables companies to provide access to personalized desktops and applications anytime, anywhere using a digital workspace. Designed for the mobile-cloud era, with a focus on helping customers drive down the cost and complexity of managing and delivering applications and desktops, new innovations and an expanded partner ecosystem of VMware validated solutions extend the breadth and scope of VMware Horizon to support customers of all sizes.
