What is Omnissa Workspace ONE Access?

Workspace ONE Access unifies applications and desktops into a single, aggregated workspace, allowing employees to access them from any location. With fewer management points and flexible access, Workspace ONE Access simplifies IT administration and reduces complexity.

Workspace ONE Access Cloud is now deployed in the cloud, rather than on-premises within a datacenter. This allows organizations to centralize assets, devices, and applications while securely managing users and data. Additionally, they benefit from instant access to upgrades without the need for maintenance outages

F5 BIG-IP and Omnissa - Always Better Together!

Omnissa and F5 have developed an integration to enhance security and provide gateway access through Workspace ONE Access Cloud.
