Moving from Mobility To Digital Workspaces With VMware's Workspace One

Instead, convergence, complexity and comfort. These are words that describe the landscape of technology companies are looking to create digital companies. digital transformation, are not new, it is evolving. Every part of a business is changing due to the rise of cloud computing, mobile data, and analyzing large.

In the past, companies could focus on one or two standard technology transitions at once. Increasingly, leaders throughout the organization are invited to multiple technology choices. One side, there are too many options and companies are looking to convergence.

At the same time, employees and line of business leaders want to eliminate complexity while gaining the comfort of anywhere access to services

Providers should respond to these changes or risk being left out. In response to these trends, VMware VMW + 0.69% has launched a new product called the workspace past a platform that aims to allow people to work anywhere week. Obviously not a new concept, but the difference may be in the running.

Workspace provides a simple digital workspace UNO, insurance, integrating identity, device management and application delivery. Let functionality provides the platform and its place in the market.

Workspace provides a platform for a touchscreen phone SSO secure application access operator Chip Systems (SATS) to establish trust between the user, the device, the enterprise and the cloud.

Once authenticated, employees can subscribe to a mobile, the enterprise cloud or Windows application based on company policies. It also provides unified management devices and BYO belonging to the enterprise. With the new solution, employees can be configured automatically BYO laptops, smartphones and tablets choosing the level of services and restrictions, which are comfortable to wear, when they take BYO programs and reduce the risk of data loss.

Of course, still define the acceptable use and minimize corporate access based on different profiles. According to VMware, ensuring application data through the cloud with the NSX is a leading company that makes the difference. Indeed it work to buy a full stack of VMware. But if you do, you can keep that promise.

There is a core set of applications that anchor all the needs of employees, which include items such as e-mail, calendar and access to content such tariff marketing literature and Grille.

Good technology has been the standard for e-mail and secure containers companies had many types of secured content distribution. Workspace that VMware offers these features as well. He added magnetic and tactile integrations to third SaaS application vendors, such as Atlassian Jira, GitHub, and Jenkins for development operations teams.

Last June, the company announced the identity of VMware Identity Manager as a service solution (IDAAS), which brings together the visual identity of the user with all the other identities that lead through the cloud in both SaaS and mobile applications .

VMware workspace management of identity and the device is combined. Because it is linked to compliance AirWatch engine can correct compliance issues through a series of flows and automated custom work for scale and enhanced security.

Overall, 2016 will be the year where companies are re-evaluating existing identity solutions. In the first wave of Mobilty we discussed device management. In the second phase, he switched to management applications. Now the industry is moving beyond the management of devices and applications in a world of security and identity-based content. For example, it is Maribel? It is she who has access to content access?

Is it to access data from a trusted device and a trusted network? How many devices are registered Maribel nearby. This type of contextual based security and trust requires management of identity as an essential foundation of the solution.

Despite their best to allow mobile applications, most employees still need a simple way to access a wide range of Windows applications on all your devices. original response to this was VMware Horizon, which compete with XenApp / Citrix XenDestop.

However, the company also acquired in 2014 and renamed CloudVolumes Products volumes of applications, a system of distribution of real-time applications that can be used to deliver and manage applications dynamically. There was a lot of overlap and confusion in the VMware product portfolio in 2014. One of the solutions workspace is part of the long-awaited two acquisitions with VMware Horizon - Mobile management and AirWatch volumes application technology management VMware applications.

VMware is aiming to reduce complexity, increase sticky product and generate new revenue with a computer produces integrated end-user. How does it work?

The challenge is that companies have selected a vendor for each of these segments and all companies want a virtualized Windows environment. The good news for VMware is the timing.

Many companies are in the process of updating EMM solutions, identity and virtualization applications. What is clear is that this market is very competitive. It is difficult for managers to sort through the options.

VMware kicks off new vSphere beta test

VMware is looking for people to participate in the beta testing a new version of vSphere.

An expression of interest page appeared and also asked "vExperts" VMware Community anointed to register.

Just what is in the beta is not disclosed, but the testers ask VMware to go fast. Everyone used to test hardware practical need for quick setup and will be asked for feedback within a month. Testers can also expect a lot of attention of VMware, who wants to know how his new creation works.

VMware vSphere once promised major versions every two years, but vSphere 6.0 has changed this year. The company since vSphere admitted that his priority is long-term, since it is not considered a long-term source of growth. The company also said it vSphere vCloud be developed for air, as well as its large cloud and stressed the implementation of vSphere like any other.

Exactly what these features are under the hood is an enigma as VMware keeps these things very close to his chest. It was also decided not to make an attempt to vCloud a great competitor of the stature of Azure and Amazon Web Services, which means fewer new features, but not necessarily the rule in the cloud as a source of continuous improvement vSphere.

By one estimate, virtualization offices El Reg think this is a beta for a minor update rather than a full new version of vSphere. More features hybrid clouds are expected, as several hooks for hyper-converged systems. VMware scale remains something to admire, so hopefully machines and larger virtual machines with greater ability to take into account modern day increasingly powerful servers.

We also know that the next version of vSphere is already advanced enough to run the infrastructure at VMworld Europe in October. And we know that Microsoft is going strong with Azure Pila.

By one estimate, so we expect an announcement of Q2, to keep the front and center conversation VMware hybrid cloud before Microsoft starts making more noise, leaving somehting brighter and more interesting to reveal at VMworld United States late August
