Introduction to Workspace ONE AirLift

VMware Workspace ONE AirLift is a fully supported tool to help ease the migration from traditional PCLM (PC Lifecycle Management) management with SCCM to modern management with Workspace ONE UEM.

Why Co-Management?

  • As customers move to Modern Management, traditional PCLM tools are challenging
  • Not every customer is 100% at Windows 10, and cannot take advantage of Modern Management
  • Legacy Windows desktop Operating Systems (OS's) and Server OS’s need to be managed
  • Most companies have had SCCM in place for over 20 years and it is deeply embedded into business systems
  • Not easy to just “rip off the band-aid”
  • May need SCCM to get to Windows 10
  • May need SCCM to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10
  • Can enroll devices into Workspace ONE with SCCM
  • Typical hardware refresh cycle is 3-5 years

Workspace ONE AirLift

Workspace ONE AirLift has the following features:

  • Has detailed monitoring information on progress of enrollment and modern management
  • Runs as a web service and keeps SCCM and Workpace ONE in Sync
  • Allows mapping between SCCM device collections and Workspace ONE UEM Smart Groups
    • Uses Tags in Workspace ONE UEM to map devices and groups to SCCM Collections
  • Allows migration of applications from SCCM to Workspace ONE
  • Allows enrollment of devices into Workspace ONE by creating SCCM deployments
  • Has detailed logging information
