VMware claims the latest additions the Workspace ONE platform turn it into the first "intelligence-driven digital workspace," able to improve user experience and enable predictive security across an IT environment.
Dubbed Workspace ONE, the cloud-based service is integrated with the Workspace ONE platform, and "uniquely" combines aggregation and correlation of users, apps, networks and endpoints data. It leverages the data to power a decision engine able to provide actionable recommendations and automation, and allows IT to identify and fix issues, set employee-friendly access policies and provide a consistent user experience across devices and platforms while helping mitigate security issues at scale.
Also launched by VMware is the Workspace ONE Trust Network-- a bolstering of the security capabilities inherent to Workspace ONE through VMware security partners Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, Cylance, Lookout, McAfee, Netskope and Symantec. It extends Workspace ONE Intelligence and APIs to allow partners to share and correlate threat data with Workspace ONE, giving joint customers deeper insight and rich automation across the digital workspace.
Another Workspace ONE Addition is AirLift, a means to enable co-management of Windows 10 PCs alongside Microsoft System Centre Configuration Management (SCCM). It allows customers to speed and de-risk transition efforts by easily migrating PCLM tasks such as device onboarding, patching, software distribution and remote user support, to a more cost-efficient, secure and cloud-based modern management model. Thus organisations can quickly move to the new model without replacing SCCM or costly PC and SCCM server upgrades.
Further new platform features include simplified Mac adoption, expanded security for Office 365 apps, intelligent workflows in the VMware Boxer secure email and a beta for VMware virtual desktops with Azure infrastructure.
Workspace ONE Intelligence is available now, and comes with the Workspace ONE Enterprise package.
