Get Visibility into Hard-to-Determine Advanced Hardware CapabilitiesMany customers are considering leveraging the native advanced security features in Windows 10 to displace their current third-party security tools. Determining your hardware compatibility with Windows 10 advanced security features is key to a successful migration and eventual displacement of third-party tools. This information typically requires a manual reboot and si�ing through BIOS settings, all while manually writing down the details.

Tanium works with mainstream hardware manufacturers’ capabilities to inventory this sort of information with the same speed and accuracy as a normal system inventory. In seconds you will know the detailed hardware security features across your enterprise systems.

With Tanium, you can quickly assess what percentage of your computers are UEFI capable, regardless of whether or not it’s enabled. You can determine whether they have a TPM module and if so, what version. You can know whether they support GPT disk type. These elements -- and countless others like them -- are critical to answer for a successful migration.

E�iciently Distributing Large So�ware Files Using a Patented Architecture Distributing large so�ware files to every endpoint might add weeks and delay migrations. Worse, it can saturate network connections and potentially cause outages during migrations.

With Tanium’s patented architecture for so�ware distribution, you can e�iciently distribute so�ware packages and third-party migration tools to target endpoints. By using Tanium to o�load and streamline so�ware distribution, you can use third-party OS migration tools where they really excel; actually migrating operating systems.

Ensure A Successful Windows 10 Migration With Tanium Labs Content

Data SheetSolution Brief

Do you have legacy systems in your environment?

Are you running apps which require interoperability across operating systems?

Do you have large distributed operating environments?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you’re already likely bracing for a painful Windows 10 migration. With potentially tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of endpoints in an organization, finding an approach to migration which can scale and minimize user disruption is critical. To be successful, your Windows 10 project teams need a platform to enable cost-e�ective migration at scale - thus minimizing professional services or full-time employee (FTE) costs as well as the associated risks.

Before you begin your Windows 10 migration, here are three key things to know:

• What’s in your environment

• What can you migrate (and what you cannot), what hardware can support advanced security features native to Windows 10

• How to minimize user disruption and reduce the cost of migration

Tanium is an ideal foundation for automation of Windows 10 migration at scale - an extensible platform with minimal additional infrastructure overhead.

Leveraging the speed of Tanium, you can make asset data available in seconds versus weeks of manual collection and aggregation. As issues come up during migration, Tanium also enables you to root cause and look enterprise wide for other systems that may have similar artifacts causing migration issues. Once identified, you can easily remediate the issues and continue with migration.

Using the extensibility of the Tanium platform, you can customize and satisfy your unique migration requirements versus relying on rigid point tools.

Inventory Assets On-Demand to Baseline and Validate Windows 10 Readiness at ScaleWith Tanium Labs content for Windows 10 migration, you can turn what is normally a multi-month spreadsheet exercise with only partial accuracy to a reliable process that can be executed on-demand.

For example, Tanium Labs content helps with understanding whether a machine meets Windows 10 prerequisites. Knowing whether a machine can be moved to the latest firmware (such as UEFI) and partition types (such as GPT) ultimately reduces risk of data loss and costly project churn. Disk encryption status from leading vendors like Microso�, McAfee and Symantec and available disk space are other key data points to understand during migration. With Tanium Labs content, you can easily identify disk encryption status enterprise wide. In case of disk space issues, not only can you identify endpoints with issues, but also remediate 20 of the most common issues.

Business Benefits● Save money and time by automating

asset inventory and improving endpoint readiness.

● Eliminate the manual e�ort for identifying the advanced hardware capabilities needed to support Windows 10

● Minimize the risk of network outages during migration by streamlining so�ware distribution.
