2/11/2016

0 Comments

 
On February 9th, VMware introduced the new edition to their VDI arsenal, Workspace One.

Workspace One is a simple and secure enterprise platform bringing delivery and management of any application on any device with integrated identity management.  This is a unification of the VDI/MDM landscape that includes the enterprise

mobility management (EMM) from VMware AirWatch, the recently introduced VMware Identity Manager and the new cloud management service in VMware Horizon Air.  

​Workspace One includes self-service access, choice of device, conditional access, automation and productivity tools along with several major updates to the VMware End-User Computing portfolio.


Updates to the VMware End-User Computing product portfolio include:
  • VMware Workspace ONE – A new solution delivering secure digital workspaces for flexible work styles and bring your own device (BYOD). The digital workspace delivered by VMware will address the end user and enterprise IT business mobility needs by aggregating all devices, applications, and services while securely managing them through unified common access and identity.
  • VMware Horizon 7 – Major advancements in the latest version features a new cloud-optimized display protocol. Just in Time desktops and a new, home-grown protocol called Blast Extreme Experience.
  • New Capability in Horizon Air – A new hybrid-mode (formerly Project Enzo) capability will be available in VMware Horizon Air to provide customers with a single, cloud control plane for delivering and managing on-premises virtual applications and desktops on hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) or VMware Virtual SAN ready-nodes. While it’s not identical to Citrix Workspace Cloud, it does set out to make it easier to deploy the management components associated with virtual desktops and applications as well as the deployment of the desktops themselves. ​
  • AppVolume 3 - Introduced last week, VMware introduces several new features. The most important addition is AppToggle, which which lets you deliver single applications from an AppStack with that contains multiple apps as opposed to delivering the entire AppStack. AppCapture and AppIsolation are also important in this release. AppCapture gives you a way to capture applications individually into their own AppStack, then merge that new AppStack into an existing AppStack later. You can then use AppToggle to control which applications users have access to. You can see more here.
