VMware Buys AetherPal for Remote Device Support
Summary
AetherPals technology will augment VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW)s endpoint device management platform, VMware Workspace ONE, which provides integrated support for mobile, PCs, ruggedized devices and the Internet of Things. AetherPal allows IT "to remotely view, control, troubleshoot and fix devices and applications in the field to improve productivity and efficiency, while reducing downtime," Shekar Ayyar, VMware EVP, strategy and corporate development and general manager, Telco NFV Group, said in a blog post Tuesday.
