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.

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