VMware and Zoom have entered into a partnership for the VMware Anywhere Workspace software offering, presented at the end of April. According to the announcement, the combination of Anywhere Workspace and Zoom will make organizations “stronger and more resilient” by improving transparency, user experience and security.
Better security
VMware Anywhere Workspace is designed to provide greater security for organizations that work remotely and communicate through Zoom. VMware Workspace One provides access to Zoom accounts and corporate meetings through single sign-on. For businesses that use a virtual desktop infrastructure, VMware Horizon offers an optimization package for Zoom, the announcement adds.
Visibility and troubleshooting
VMware Workspace Anywhere is designed to provide better visibility into the networks and devices of Zoom users. Enough to help IT teams to better respond to potential incidents or failures. VMware Edge Network Intelligence works in conjunction with Zoom through a downloadable application from the Zoom Application Marketplace.
Optimized user experience
Zoom is interoperable with VMware SD-WAN, to promise a better user experience by automatically identifying and prioritizing Zoom platform applications. In addition, the transfer of network traffic to Zoom data centers is accelerated. “The optimized experience works even in work-from-home situations where there are many non-business applications and a myriad of smart home devices,” VMware says.
