VMware and HP have teamed up to simplify device lifecycle management for all of an organization's endpoints.
Under the partnership, HP will add VMware Workspace ONE to its Device as a Service (DaaS) technology platform.
Workspace ONE, an integrated platform powered by VMware AirWatch Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) technology, provides a holistic and user-centric approach to managing all endpoints in an organization – from mobile and desktop to IoT.
HP DaaS offers a modern consumption model for computing in which hardware and lifecycle services are combined to improve the user experience and free up IT resources to drive growth.
"In the mobile cloud era, employees, devices, applications and data increasingly live beyond the physical walls of the workplace, the datacenter, or the network," VMware COO Sanjay Poonen said.
"Digital enterprises are struggling to deliver a unified digital workspace due to disjointed technology and teams. We are proud to be the first to bring together identity, device management and application delivery on a single integrated platform so business can be conducted by mobile end-users regardless of platform, location, device or application."
VMware and Dell first entered a partnership in February 2016. CEO Pat Gelsinger spoke about the constantly expanding partnership during Dell EMC World in May this year.
He spoke about the integration of VMware AirWatch and Dell Client Command Suite client systems management tools which ultimately became part of Workspace ONE; to enable customers to empower their workforce to securely bring the technology of their choice (devices and apps) at the pace and cost the business needs.
