Last week at VMworld U.S. 2014, VMware introduced VMware Workspace Suite , a unified platform that delivers enterprise mobility management from AirWatch, application and desktop virtualization from Horizon, and file sync and share with Secure Content Locker. After introducing the idea of a user-centric, roda a roda secure virtual workspace over 4 years ago it only made sense that we combined the leading EMM solution with the leading virtual desktop platform to deliver against our vision. roda a roda
While Kit Colbert outlined the direction of our integration investments in his earlier blog , I d like to provide some additional detail on the first of these integrations between AirWatch roda a roda and VMware Workspace Portal to deliver an absolutely seamless experience for users.
This latest release of Workspace Portal delivers a new Single Virtual Appliance Architecture that simplifies deployment. A simple roda a roda guided roda a roda install takes less than 30 minutes and additional VA s can be easily scaled out as necessary to meet the requirements for even the most complex deployments. Further, the new dashboard delivers powerful information to administrators. In just a glance, admins can get a sense of system health, utilization trending and errors and then gather deep dive audit information for user activity and utilization for regulatory auditing or simply improving service levels.
With the introduction of AirWatch 7.3 this month, and the new Workspace Portal 2.1, available today, administrators don t just get the best of both, but actually leverage roda a roda their unique policy engines to get something much better than either tool on their own.
Workspace Portal provides the entitlement, access policy and single sign-on capability for all but native mobile roda a roda applications. From laptops and desktops, it is truly a one-stop roda a roda show for any app or service. When that same user is using their tablet or smartphone, now, there is no need to go to Workspace Portal as AirWatch can deliver the Workspace Portal entitled apps directly through to the springboard (what Apple iOS calls their home screen ) or container on the device.
Let s say an organization roda a roda wants to deploy a new application. It could be a web-based app, a Windows app hosted by Horizon or XenApp, a local Windows app packaged and streamed through Thinapp, a Google app, or Office 365 app, or nearly any SaaS app like ADP, SalesForce, Workday, or Box. In our example, we ll use a SaaS App.
From the Workspace Portal catalog tab, the administrator can entitle users or groups and then apply policies based on network parameters (internal, external, IP ranges, etc.) and authentication strength.
The application is now available on any device with a browser once the user navigates to the URL. So, sure you could pull up a browser on a tablet, navigate to a bookmarked Workspace Portal URL and launch the application all without AirWatch, roda a roda but the user has to be trained how to do something that they didn t already have to know, and further, if the organization roda a roda is also deploying native mobile apps, it would be yet another procedure for the user to learn.
Enter integrated application catalog via AirWatch 7.3 and Workspace Portal 2.1. With the integration work performed between the AirWatch and VMware Workspace teams, the Workspace Portal can establish a trusted connection between the user, enrolled device, and application entitlements roda a roda to streamline application provisioning and deliver a seamless, single-sign-on experience.
Now, in less than a minute, the AirWatch system roda a roda and the VMware Workspace Portal appliance roda a roda are joined, allowing the Workspace Portal to seamlessly present it s application entitlements, identity and policy services to the AirWatch App Catalog.
When a user then clicks on the application, the policy engine of the Workspace Portal is still in full force, enforcing authentication strength and network restrictions and maintaining full identity management permitting internal web, SaaS, and Windows apps to single-sign-on access leveraging domain credentials.
Adding to that is an additional layer of security from the AirWatch enrolled device where the device policy can be set to assure that the device in in compliance (not reported stolen, no blacklist apps installed, not jailbroken, not outside of a GPS geofence, strong PIN protection and enforced screenlock the list goes on and on ) before permitting the user to get access to any of the VMware Workspace entitled applications.
With this nearly invisible layer of security and management, roda a roda it can arguably roda a roda be said that it is easier AND more secure for users to work from their tablet on a mobile roda a roda network than being on a domain-joined laptop.
For roda a roda the many customers who already own
