With day-zero support, customers can upgrade to Windows 10 and manage devices in Horizon and AirWatch today
VMware has released a comprehensive solution to support Windows 10. Customers upgrading to Windows 10 can take advantage of the management, transition and app delivery tools provided by the VMware Workspace Suite, which includes AirWatch Enterprise Mobility Management, VMware Horizon, VMware Identity Manager and VMware Horizon FLEX.
AirWatch Enterprise Mobility Management will support all new capabilities introduced in Windows 10, including streamlined deployment, unified app experience, advanced security and data protection and update management. The best-in-class AirWatch Enterprise Mobility Management suite can become the defacto management platform for all devices running Windows 10 – including laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets – from a central, unified console.
Additionally, VMware Identity Manager interoperability will provide single sign-on to grant users permission to all of their Windows 10 applications without requiring separate usernames and passwords. Furthermore, the conditional access feature in VMware Identity Manager allows IT to allow access to enterprise applications based on pre-determined compliance policies. Workspace Portal will also support the corporate-friendly Business Store Portal (BSP) to manage apps and licenses on smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops via AirWatch.
“As the consumerization of IT continues to proliferate the enterprise, Windows 10 can offer our customers a more seamless experience across devices as expected by consumer and business users alike. We’re thrilled to offer support and compatibility for upgraded devices across the VMware End-User Computing portfolio and look forward to expanding our relationships with Microsoft on the innovations and capabilities made available with Windows 10,” said Erik Frieberg, VP (End-User Computing), VMware.
