Google brings Windows apps to Chromebooks with VMware

By TechTaffy Desk

Enterprise Chrome device users will now be able to access Windows desktops and applications, and use these devices as next-generation thin clients. VMware is becoming the first unified endpoint management (UEM) provider with full Chrome device management capabilities, says Google.

Using Workspace ONE, a digital workspace platform that uses VMware AirWatch UEM technology, will enable unified management of Chrome devices alongside all other endpoints from a single console.

Management of Chrome devices with Workspace ONE will be available in September 2017.
