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.

So ​What does Workspace One do for you?

Self-Service Access to Cloud, Mobile & Windows Apps

Once authenticated through the VMware Workspace ONE app, employees can instantly access their personalized enterprise app catalog where they can subscribe to virtually any mobile, cloud or Windows application.

​With the built-in VMware Identity Manager, access to applications is only a touch away as single sign-on authentication is already established through the device.

Choice

VMware Workspace ONE with adaptive enrollment puts the device choice in employees’ hands for the level of convenience, access, security and management that makes sense for their workstyle providing friction-free adoption of BYOD programs while getting IT out of the device business.

Secure Productivity

Workspace One will include consumer-style email, calendar, contacts, documents, chat, and enterprise social that employees want to use while invisible security measures protect the organization from data leakage by restricting how attachments and files can be edited and shared. 

Employees, devices, apps and data increasingly live beyond the physical walls of the workplace, the data center, or the network. VMware Workspace ONE combines identity and device management to enforce access decisions based on a range of conditions from strength of authentication, network, location and device compliance. For sensitive information, Workspace One will combine identity and device management with ComplianceCheck Conditional Access to enforce access decisions across any application or device. 

​The AirWatch policy engine automates device compliance through customizable warnings and full or selective device wipe and secures information by protecting the data stored in applications and limiting data leakage through cut, copy, paste or export controls.


Single-Sign On access, for example, leverages Secure App Token Systems for authentication. Once authenticated, employees gain instant self-service access to a personalized enterprise application store where they can subscribe to virtually any mobile, cloud or Windows application.

Application Delivery & Automation

Workspace One will combine VMware AirWatch mobile management and VMware Horizon along with VMware App Volumes application-delivery technology.

​It will also take full advantage of the new capabilities of Windows and leverages VMware AirWatch mobile management system to allow desktop administrators to automate application distribution and updates on the fly. Combined with Horizon virtualization technology, automating the application delivery process enables better security and compliance. 

Pricing

The new platform is expected to be generally available this quarter in standard, advanced and enterprise editions. Prices will start at $8 per user per month for cloud subscriptions and $150 per user for on-premises perpetual licenses.
