Updates to VMware Workspace ONE and VMware App
Volumes enable increased performance, scale, and speed of new
feature delivery for customers.
As organizations navigate the evolving requirements of a hybrid
workforce, they are challenged with managing operational
complexities and obsolete tooling while supporting employees no
matter the app, device, or location. Today, VMware (NYSE: VMW) is
announcing new VMware Anywhere Workspace platform enhancements,
including radical changes to the Workspace ONE architecture that
enable high performance and scalability for upwards of millions of
endpoints; and new innovations in VMware App Volumes that greatly
reduce management time and infrastructure cost of virtual app and
desktop environments. Together, these enhancements enable IT teams
to run more efficient digital workspaces that deliver productive
and reliable experiences for their hybrid workforce.
“As hybrid work requirements continue to evolve, organizations
must constantly monitor changes, enforce reactive policies, and
implement new workflows. We believe that automation powered by data
science can greatly improve operational efficiency while
transforming the IT workforce,” said Shankar Iyer, senior vice
president and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware. “87% of
organizations surveyed in a recent VMware report1 say they’ve
increased their automation investment in the last two years. The
new Anywhere Workspace platform enhancements announced today will
give organizations the power to seamlessly integrate automation
into every step of their IT workflow.”
Improve Performance and Speed with Workspace ONE SaaS
Modernization
The past decade has seen tremendous growth in both the amount
and type of mobile and desktop endpoints secured by Workspace ONE.
Today, VMware is unveiling a modernized Workspace ONE SaaS
architecture that drives greater than 10x performance and scale
improvements2. The new containerized architecture takes a SaaS
leading practices approach in rapidly delivering innovative
solutions to meet evolving customer needs.
As VMware continues to modernize the Workspace ONE architecture,
organizations can anticipate:
- Better Performance and Scalability: Customers can
comfortably scale their deployments to millions of devices, while
experiencing a high performance on resource workloads. This
includes upwards of 10x improved resource delivery performance for
apps and profiles across all device platforms and improved console
load times for better admin experience.
- Faster Feature Velocity while Driving Improved
Product Quality: The modular architecture allows for more
responsive development and greater product reliability, so customer
IT teams can rely on VMware for same-day feature support for the
latest OEM and platform configurations.
- Modern SaaS Platform Enabling New Value-Add Services:
The modern architecture powers new platform services including
Workspace ONE Freestyle Orchestrator and Desired State Management.
This provides a low-code and automated toolkit for IT to solve
higher order business problems across endpoint management,
security, and user experience.
“Workspace ONE UEM has allowed us to extend the ease of use for
both remote workers that work for the company and workers that
don’t,” said Keith Bradley, vice president of IT and security,
Nature Fresh Farms. “We can quickly deploy Workspace ONE to any
device and allow a secure method for anyone to connect to our
applications.”
“As Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) technology continues to
mature, VMware is driving innovation with Workspace ONE. By
modernizing their SaaS platform, they've positioned themselves to
deliver faster feature velocity and performance improvements,” said
Phil Hochmuth, program vice president, Endpoint Management and
Enterprise Mobility, IDC. “Endpoint management teams play a
critical role in improving operational efficiency and security
across the digital workspace. To that end, the automation and
desired state management capabilities Workspace ONE can provide
holds great promise for helping these organizations.”
Automate Anywhere with a Unified Orchestration
Framework
At VMware Explore 2022, we announced our vision for a unified
orchestration framework that extends the use of Freestyle
Orchestrator capabilities beyond UEM use-cases, making it available
across all Workspace ONE services and third-party applications.
Delivering on that vision, existing Workspace ONE Intelligence
customers will now see legacy automations replaced by the unified
Freestyle Orchestrator canvas. Customers can now build the same
powerful, policy-based workflows but with a modern, low-code canvas
user interface.
Extending upon the unified orchestration, VMware is also
announcing the general availability of the new Workspace ONE
Marketplace. Marketplace integrations allow organizations to
connect third-party cloud applications and offers pre-packaged
solutions including actions, templates, and scripts. Pre-packaged
solutions and low-code orchestration bring more efficiency and
simplicity for IT, streamlining use cases such as onboarding and
offboarding, license optimization, security quarantine workflows,
and more.
Modernize Application Delivery with Apps on Demand for
Published Apps
Building on the Apps on Demand functionality released last year
powered by VMware App Volumes, VMware now offers Apps on Demand for
published apps. The new functionality helps IT reduce management
time and infrastructure costs of traditional published app
deployments.
Using VMware App Volumes, IT can eliminate the need for a
dedicated app farm infrastructure with a modern app delivery model
that deploys apps on demand as users access them to generic RDSH
servers. This removes management overhead and infrastructure cost
of traditional published app farms built out to peak usage
requirements. App Volumes also effectively separates the
application layer from the OS, enabling simpler app and OS
management and a radical reduction in the number of images IT needs
to create and manage. With App Volumes, customers can capture even
legacy apps with 99% app compatibility and publish them anywhere –
on-prem, in the cloud, or across hybrid cloud deployments.
