F5 BIG-IP APM with Omnissa Workspace ONE Access
This article discusses the collaboration between Omnissa and F5 to integrate Workspace ONE Access Cloud with F5 Access Policy Manager (APM). Workspace ONE Access unifies applications and desktops into a single, aggregated workspace, allowing employees to access resources from anywhere while simplifying IT administration through fewer management points and flexible access. The deployment of Workspace ONE Access in the cloud centralizes assets, devices, and applications, enabling secure management of users and data. Organizations benefit from instant upgrades without maintenance outages. The document provides detailed instructions for configuring Workspace ONE Access Cloud as an Identity Provider (IDP) in front of F5 APM as a Service Provider (SP), utilizing APM as a gateway for Omnissa Horizon. This integration aims to offer a comprehensive view of the workspace, ensuring robust DMZ security and scalability with the F5 PCoIP/Blast Proxy in conjunction with Omnissa Horizon.Load Balancing Omnissa Unified Access Gateway with BIG-IP LTM
This article highlights the renewed partnership between Omnissa and F5, focusing on updated guides for integrating F5 BIG-IP LTM with the Omnissa Unified Access Gateway (UAG) for Horizon. UAG, formerly known as VMware Unified Access Gateway, provides secure access to desktop and application resources for remote users. F5’s products enhance the reliability, scalability, and security of UAG deployments, particularly for large Horizon environments requiring multiple pods or data centers. The guide offers two deployment options: leveraging the existing iApp or using a manual method. Both approaches ensure efficient, seamless implementation tailored to users’ needs. The collaboration between F5 and Omnissa continues to drive faster deployments while preparing for future growth and requirements.
