AirWatch

AirWatch is a software brand focused on enterprise mobility management. Its offerings have included mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and related security and endpoint-management capabilities for smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices used by organizations. The company was founded in 2003 and was headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. VMware acquired AirWatch in 2014 and incorporated its capabilities into VMware’s enterprise mobility and digital workspace business. The brand later became associated with solutions such as VMware Workspace ONE. The available material is insufficient to determine the precise current status of AirWatch as an independent brand.

AirWatch was established in the United States in 2003, focusing on centralized management of enterprise mobile devices and applications. As smartphones and tablets became part of workplace computing, mobile device management became an element of enterprise IT and security programs. AirWatch developed around needs such as device enrollment, policy configuration, application management, and security controls. VMware acquired AirWatch in 2014, making it part of VMware’s enterprise mobility and digital workspace business. AirWatch’s capabilities were subsequently integrated with VMware’s other endpoint-management and virtualization offerings and became associated with solutions such as Workspace ONE. The available material does not establish the precise extent to which AirWatch continued as an independent brand, so further claims about later naming or organizational changes are omitted.
