INTRODUCTION:A New Generation of Productivity Solutions for a New Era of BusinessThe consumerization of IT has changed the way enterprises deliver the apps and services that their employees, customers, and partners need to be productive. Today’s enterprise users expect the same simplicity and ease of access in the workplace that they experience as consumers. In their private lives, today’s workforce is constantly connected. They’re able to shop, bank, schedule, and stay in touch from anywhere. They switch between devices and have a seamless and consistent experience across all of them. They expect that the technology they use at the workplace should be at least as flexible, functional, and mobile as what they use at home.

But the stakes are higher than simply meeting the elevated expectations of users. A new generation of “digital workspace” technology can help enterprise users collaborate more effectively. It helps them share information more easily. It frees them to access the data and capabilities they need from anywhere (the warehouse, the shop floor, the customer’s office, the board room, or the hotel room) at any time (during the commute, after hours, on the weekend).

Ultimately, this more fluid approach to the role of technology in business can help the enterprise be more productive and innovative. However, it does change the way IT will approach networking, security, device management, and user support. It also changes how the enterprise manages people and processes—calling for a fundamental shift in supporting where and how work gets done.

This guide will explore these and other issues related to the deployment of a secure digital workspace—including some of the proven best practices that can guide a successful adoption of this groundbreaking technology.

With a digital workspace based on a flexible, agile software-defined infrastructure from an industry leader like VMware, IT teams can ensure smooth, policy-based access, using the devices employees choose. Through a disciplined, informed approach to deployment, IT can deliver the agility, cost savings, and employee productivity that C-level

ecosystems. Technical professionals

operations must make the

transition from device manage-

ment to unified workspaces as

decision makers want, while increasing security and ensuring the integrity of the enterprise’s information resources.

THE DIGITAL WORKSPACE: KEY CONCEPTS Any App on Any DeviceOne of the defining characteristics of the secure digital workspace is the ability for the enterprise workforce to use any application securely on any device. By empowering users in this way, the enterprise can support the collab-orative work styles that are driving innovation. Employees gain the freedom to work from anywhere, on the devices and apps they choose, regardless of whether the applications are traditional desktop applications or those native to the cloud. In other words, the device and the application don’t dictate how work gets done. Employees are freer to be creative, collaborate across teams and departments, and access the data and capabilities they need anywhere at any time.

For IT, advanced digital workspace technology allows them to provide the self-service, out-of-the-box experiences that scale across platforms, locations, and device ownership models—without any compromise in security. As a paradigm, the digital workspace collapses the traditional silos that have separated mobile and desktop computing, as well as those that have required a complex mix of approaches to line-of-business application management. Instead of increasing complexity for IT, the job of supporting users’ demands to access any app on any device becomes a seamless part of IT’s mission.

Supporting a Broader Definition of “Mobility” Within a relatively short timeframe, our idea of mobility has expanded dramatically. In the not-too-distant past, “mobility” meant providing users with access to their email on their phones (for many of us, the Blackberry marked a sea change in working habits for this reason alone).

Today, we’re witnessing a largescale proliferation of mobile devices, and their utility has expanded well beyond simply providing email access. Tablets such as iPads and Surface Pros are standard components of most workplaces. They function as data input devices, scanners, teleconference displays, and even cash registers.

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 6

Microsoft—that stalwart brand of corporate desktop computing—now has a mobile operating system in Windows 10. Mobile devices have become so affordable that it has spawned the BYOD phenomenon where employees expect to use the devices they’ve purchased for their personal use at the workplace.

On the application layer, email is just one of a quickly growing set of applications that the typical enterprise user requires. In fact, the line between applications that users can access via mobile and those enterprise-grade systems traditionally associated with a fixed terminal or desktop has virtually disappeared. Many companies report that they’ve reached the point where they can’t develop and deploy mobile apps fast enough to transform their business.

Beyond the expansion in devices and applications, mobility is also transforming work habits. Employees are now demanding access to SaaS applications from outside the firewall. Between the growing roster of devices and applications and the user’s expectation to have the same flexibility and ease of use they experience as consumers, mobility is an issue that has exploded in scope—putting extraordinary pressure on businesses and IT departments to keep pace.

Is the Digital Workspace the Same as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)?At some point, enterprises that are interested in expanding mobile access for their workforce will encounter the concept of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure—or VDI. With VDI, IT can run and manage desktop operating systems through their data center. Users access a desktop image delivered over a network to the user’s device. Ideally, users could access data and applications as if they were locally installed.

Conceptually, VDI is similar to core data center virtualization. It maintains a secure virtual operating system behind the corporate firewall. This offers users the potential to work anywhere, on any device—in a secure environment where IT maintains full control.

In practice, many enterprises found that the reality of VDI didn’t always live up to its promise. The supporting technology can be piecemeal and complex. As the number of VDI users expands, the user experience can degrade. Each desktop VM is assigned RAM, disk, and I/O resources, which can strain the datacenter. VDI can also pose its own security challenges. While storing data in the enterprise data center

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 7

instead of the user’s device can be more secure, the network used to access the desktop remotely may be vulnerable.

So, how is a digital workspace different? In contrast to a VDI environment, a user can access any application securely, regardless of where that application resides. Whether an IT department is managing cloud- and web-based mobile apps or traditional Windows desktop applications, protecting enterprise data and network resources is the primary concern. With VDI, it can be an ongoing challenge to ensure that the wrong people aren’t getting access to corporate data and computing resources and that the right people aren’t inadvertently putting the company at greater risk.

WHY CHANGE NOW?Streamlined access, easier collaboration, improved mobility, better performance—the list of improvements that a secure digital workspace offers over more traditional solutions is compelling in its own right. But what are the underlying drivers that lead an enterprise to consider making the transition? What are the business issues that C-level decision makers have identified that are primary motivations for deploying digital workspace technology?

SecurityBy necessity, security has become a top priority for every company that relies on even the most basic digital technology. Each day seems to bring a new report of a data breach at a major organization. In addition to the potential legal costs of a security lapse, these organizations also face significant damage to their reputation with customers and partners. Regaining that trust which is a prerequisite for doing business can be extremely difficult and expensive.

On the other hand, businesses don’t want to lock down their data and applications to the degree that it limits their ability to collaborate and innovate.

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 8

Successful organizations need to find that delicate balance between simplicity/openness and security/control.

For a growing number of enterprises, digital workspace solutions provide the answer. They allow enterprises to manage a heterogeneous mix of corporate owned apps, devices, and desktops as well as employee-owned devices. They help enterprises establish intelligent approaches to challenges such as how to trust and empower users and how to protect data, applications, the endpoint, and the data in transit on the network—with underlying intelligent access controls and compliance policies.

Because today’s employees have come to expect the simplicity of app stores and on-demand application downloads, any technology that deviates from consumer-grade simplicity will be viewed as out of touch with user needs and a drag on their productivity. The digital workspace allows an enterprise to keep pace with these demands without compromising the security and integrity of data and networks.

Adapting to the BYOD Paradigm and Shifting Workforce ExpectationsToday’s mobile workforce poses a whole new set of challenges for IT and compliance. One of the most daunting is the “bring your own device” (BYOD) phenomenon. Sizable majorities of employees prefer to use their own devices for both work and play. In the not too distant past, the idea that an employee would have access to an enterprise’s most sensitive data via a mobile device that the employee purchased and used (not to mention frequently lost) for their private needs was inconceivable. Today, it’s table stakes.

In the BYOD world, companies need to find ways to manage the corporate-owned apps used on an employee-owned device. The digital workspace addresses the challenge by ensuring that business applications and data are kept separate and secure from personal data—partitioned on the same device in a logical container. This separation allows IT to control data leakage across two different zones of applications: one for work, one for the employee’s personal use. This prevents an employee from copying data from a corporate source and pasting into a non-corporate app such as Gmail, or Facebook. Work apps and data are securely

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 9

encrypted and contained in the device’s “work area,” giving IT the ability to easily remove only the work data if the device is compromised or if the employee leaves the company. At the same time, this approach means the enterprise can’t access or monitor the employee’s personal data.

Making Employee Productivity “Consumer Simple and IT Secure”The idea of employee productivity ain’t what it used to be. The new workplace is anywhere. “Normal business hours” are now anytime. The idea of having to gather a team in the same brick-and- mortar conference room to brainstorm ideas is outdated. IT’s job is to support this more fluid, less structured, and less predictable approach to work and give employees the tools and access to be productive anytime, anyplace.

The digital workspace paradigm allows the enterprise to create this work environment in a manner that is consumer simple and IT secure. It typically features a self-service catalog along the lines of the app store model—populated with SaaS apps, hosted apps, legacy Windows apps, and internally developed apps—that is the central repository for all application needs.

Regardless of the device, the digital workspace delivers a consistent user experience, so employees don’t have to learn how to complete one task multiple ways—while ensuring that the experience is also appropriate for the device type and screen size. It also has the tools to help IT understand end-user behavior, identify trends, and remediate problems. Instead of dictating how employees should be productive, the enterprise can support however employees choose to be productive.

Improving IT EfficiencySo, the job of making the digital workspace a practical reality falls to IT—but what’s in it for them? The digital workspace may make end users more productivity, but doesn’t it ask a lot from IT personnel who are supporting a more mobile workforce using more devices in a more fluid and less controlled way?

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 10

Some companies make the job of building, deploying and supporting a digital workspace more complicated by operating in silos and relying on a disparate mix of point solutions and technologies that don’t share information. They use mobile device management products from one vendor, rely on other technologies to manage desktops, a different system to handle identity and user authentication, and yet another for packaging up their Windows-based apps. These silos create weaknesses that sap IT’s productivity. They result in gaps in oversight and management responsibilities. They’re also the source of confusion for end users and administrators, and they create opportunities for “bad actors” looking to exploit that complexity and confusion.

An integrated platform from a reliable partner such as VMware can overcome this complexity and vulnerability. VMware’s Workspace ONE platform combines capabilities for client management, device management, identity management, application suites, and virtualization in a single solution. IT can control all of the data and apps their users are consuming, regardless of the endpoint. A single platform enforces consistency and simplifies troubleshooting and ongoing management—allowing IT to maximize its own productivity in addition to that of end users

ARE YOU READY TO TRANSITION?The consumerization of enterprise IT, the BYOD phenomenon, an increasingly mobile workforce are all trends that will only become more pervasive, and the pressures to adapt will continue to grow. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that every company is a prime candidate for the deployment of a secure digital workspace. So, how can an enterprise know that it’s ready to make the transition? The following are some of the prime indicators:

• You need to deploy or expand a work-from- anywhere program – A significant portion of your workforce needs the ability to work from anywhere. The way your employees collaborate within the enterprise and with partners doesn’t occur in any fixed place or within a 9-to-5 schedule, and a growing number of employees regularly work outside of a traditional office setting.

• You’ve embarked on a project of business transformation – You’re finding that your existing processes can’t keep pace with the demands of today’s more connected and collaborative era. You want to increase agility and create tighter business alignment across teams, divisions, lines of business, and geographic locations. But you are still over-dependent on paper-based, highly manual processes. To improve interaction with our customers, you need to switch from a PC-centric environment to a more fluid, mobile approach.

• You want to strengthen protections against security breaches and data loss – A growing number of your employees are using their own devices for work purposes. On one hand, this is an advantage. It’s more cost-effective and efficient than the old model of IT-managed devices. On the other, it poses new security concerns. In short, you want the best of both worlds: the ability to support a BYOD environment without compromising the security and integrity of enterprise applications and data.

• You are adapting to recent mergers or acquisitions – Both organizations need access to the systems they used prior to joining forces as well as the applications and data of their new partner. As the integration of the two organizations proceeds, you need to find cost synergies and support new processes, which means that youneed to support the demands for greater end-user flexibility and mobility.

ASSESS YOUR CURRENT STATEThe first step in determining how you want to proceed with deploying a secure digital workspace is understanding the current state of your IT environment. Completing an objective assessment of your existing systems and applications

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 12

can be a complex task. The fundamental problem that hamstrings many digital transformation projects—including a digital workplace implementation—is the entrenched commitment to “legacy” systems, applications, infrastructure, skills, and processes.

These legacy elements add layers of complexity that can stall, limit, or derail a digital transformation initiative. Today’s advanced solutions can simplify the complexities of conventional IT to solve the problems that often hinder innovation. However, a company’s reluctance to replace existing systems such as a system to present applications or reluctance to modify processes and practices to take advantage of a transformative solution can be a barrier to meaningful change. In this regard, the guidance and insight of a trusted, experienced partner can help you conduct an objective assessment that is a critical first step.

Key areas to analyze include:

• Data Center Infrastructure - What other VMware solutions have we deployed? - What identity management software do we use?

• People Resources and Skillsets - Which teams and what skillsets do we use to manage our current environment? - How will a digital workspace platform integrate with your existing solutions and systems? - How can you build on the VMware skillsets you already have and consolidate management resources?

• Existing Application strategy - Which corporate apps are the best candidates for mobile deployment? - What is the status of our Windows 10 migration and how can we capitalize on this fundamental shift so IT can manage the OS from the cloud? - How can we use cloud-first and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) adoption models to reduce employee frustration and the security risks of multiple usernames and passwords for each employee?

• Existing Device strategy - What is our current BYOD strategy, and how does it need to evolve? - How can we better enable and support rugged devices?

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 13

KEY DIGITAL WORKSPACE COMPONENTSAt Rolta AdvizeX, we help businesses translate their digital workspace vision into a practical reality through the implementation of VMware’s industry-leading solutions in the following functional areas.

• Application Presentation – Provide secure virtualized access to desktops and applications anywhere, anytime via a branded app catalog. Empower employees to add applications as needed via an intuitive app store concept Maintain a central app repository populated with SaaS apps, hosted apps, legacy Windows apps, and internally developed apps.

• Endpoint Management – Manage, provision, and enforce compliance for all device from a single platform—phones, tablets, desktops, and laptops across all major operating systems and throughout the device lifecycle.

• Identity Management – Establish a simple and secure identity-based single sign-on across all user applications—cloud, web, mobile, and virtual—for a simpler user experience with optional multi-factor authentication. Apply contextual access policies based on the user, application, network, and device.

• Networking – Extend micro- segmentation to virtual desktops and apps to protect against unauthorized user behaviors, zero-day threats, compromised web sites, desktop-to-desktop hacks, and desktop-to-server hacks.

• Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) – Start small and grow per project, as needed. Scale out CPU, memory, and storage as a unit per node

• Environment Management – Troubleshoot performance with best-in-class monitoring for infrastructure, remote apps, and remote desktops

• Behavior Analytics – Troubleshoot the in-guest environment by monitoring user activity and access, identifying abnormalities, and tracking metrics for individual application resource requirements

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 14

DIVE INTO SECURITYIn this new era of highly mobile employees and a mix of corporate-owned and employee- owned devices accessing enterprise resources, traditional approaches to security and risk management simply aren’t practical. VMware’s approach to the digital workspace allows businesses to embrace the security challenges resulting from a more fluid and flexible approach to meeting user needs through the following features:

• Micro-segmentation – A virtual firewall for every virtual machine, app, and desktop helps maintain the highest levels of security and eliminates the risks associated with east-west traffic flows.

• Advanced Encryption – Within the data center, vSAN enforces security for data at rest. For data in transit, SSL encryption applies to all services, while AirWatch creates VPN tunnels automatically. Outside the data center, device encryption offers additional protection.

• Authentication – Troubleshoot performance with best-in-class monitoring for infrastructure, remote apps, and remote desktops

• Single Sign-On – Regardless of device and application type, single sign-on helps guard against unauthorized usage and access while improving the user experience.

With a digital workspace, the user’s identity becomes the perimeter. Users can be assigned conditional access to applications and data, so only the right people access the right information under the right security controls. Identity-based firewalls restrict network access for each individual, and the system continually monitors for suspicious activity, including unusual access to sensitive data and atypical user behaviors and file activity.

THE STORAGE DIFFERENCEWith the storage needed for a digital workspace, the business has a choice of traditional SAN or VMware’s vSAN architectures. The choice can make a significant difference in terms of complexity, administrative support, and ongoing costs.

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 15

From our perspective at Rolta AdvizeX, vSAN offers extremely powerful storage capabilities at the lowest TCO for a digital workspace. It delivers enterprise-class capabilities, scalability, and performance, and pre-integrates with the complete VMware portfolio—including vMotion, High Availability, and Disaster Recovery. In terms of software policy, vSAN allows businesses to control storage provisioning, and day-to-day management can be set and modified on the fly.

Companies can add capacity one node at a time to scale as needed and eliminate fork-lift upgrades. Companies can also cut administrative costs by up to 50% by consolidating support teams into a single group. In contrast, an attached SAN adds complexity by requiring IT to predict capacity needs five years out and maintain separate management access with separate teams.

Ultimately, our experience has shown that VMware’s Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) offers a better fit for the digital workspace. It saves money, provides more availability, and is easier to manage and scale predictably as the client’s needs evolve.

CONSIDER YOUR DEPLOYMENT OPTIONSFor a digital workspace solution to add measurable value to your business, it needs to fit the way you do business. One deployment approach doesn’t work for everyone—and no single approach may address the full scope of needs within a single business. The right solution will give you the flexibility to deploy in the way that accommodates how you work today and how you want to work tomorrow. The primary choices include:

• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – SaaS solutions can be accessed via a subscription model where the application is installed outside of your physical data center. The subscription model gives you a choice of using a shared cloud or a dedicated cloud.

- Shared cloud - Regular updates deployed across the shared cloud to all users

- Dedicated cloud - Protected from automatic upgrades (similar to an on-premises deployment but operating in the cloud)

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 16

• On-Premises – Installed within your data center, the on-premises model is the preferred option for businesses that need to provide access to legacy apps that must stay in close proximity to specific physical servers to run efficiently or enable full VDI.

Determining the right deployment option or mix of options is another mission- critical decision where the expertise and insight of an experienced partner can add significant value. In addition to the technology considerations, the project involves needed process and policy changes that aren’t always obvious–and even companies with sizable in-house IT departments may not have the internal expertise and perspective needed to ensure success. A qualified partner like Rolta AdvizeX brings a wealth of experience earned over scores of similar projects and can help identify the project’s technology and resource requirements, ongoing support needs, and security challenges that might otherwise go unaddressed.

THE EXPECTED ADVANTAGES:VMware’s Own Experience as Proof of ConceptOne of the most compelling stories regarding the advantages of the secure digital workspace is the experience of VMware itself. Recently, the company deployed a digital workspace for its own employees—realizing a 150% return on investment within the first year. So far VMware has identified an annual $5.78M cost savings and gained 3,140 days in user productivity. It has also seen key transformations in other areas of its business, including the following:

• Increased End User Satisfaction – As the competition for top talent intensifies, companies are focusing on the employee experience as a differentiator that helps them attract and retain a skilled and creative workforce. VMware can now point to its ability to provide its own employees the consumer-grade access that makes their work lives easier.

ROLTA ADVIZEXVMWARE 17

• A Reduced TCO – VMware’s digital workspace deployment has lowered its operational management expenses, reduced data storage costs, and cut its administrative management time, while enabling more cost-effective support for remote workers.

• IT Efficiency Gains – The company has benefited from faster onboarding/offboarding of users with less IT handholding. Setup and handoff for most users happens within one hour. IT can better offer true multi-device support for any application, has consolidated teams dedicated to end user support, and has dramatically reduced support workloads in areas such as password resets.

• Higher Employee Productivity – It’s a simple equation: by improving application availability and decreasing the time needed for new application access, users can accomplish more at a faster rate.

• Enhanced Security – VMware’s own experience shows that a digital workspace mitigates risks through an improved security posture and strengthens end-user access security with cloud integration, built-in multi-factor authentication, single sign-on across all applications, and micro-segmentation.

Ultimately, VMware’s deployment of a digital workspace is a compelling, real-world demonstration that the technology enables companies to strike the balance between giving employees the anytime/anywhere access from any device they need to do their jobs and helping the enterprise maintain the security and integrity of data and networks— while lowering costs in the process.
