This new solution will be delivered through VMware Professional Services and will include a new Ellucian Connector, which will automate and keep updated the delivery of applications to students through VMware Workspace ONE. With VMware's Ellucian solution, as students add classes to their schedule, the relevant apps and content for those classes will be automatically added to the student's digital workspace. Conversely, as classes are dropped, they will be automatically removed making for a consumer-simple end user experience for students that requires no action on their part. VMware's new offering for Ellucian will allow higher education institutions to provide students with a secure digital workspace, and have it follow them throughout the student's life at school.

The evolution of client-server applications to cloud and mobile applications is challenging businesses everywhere. With the added complication of the consumerization of endpoints, companies are adopting digital workspaces for a simplified approach to managing, delivering and consuming applications from the cloud. Using the principles of consumer simple and enterprise secure, the digital workspace delivered by VMware aggregates all devices, applications and services while securely managing them through unified common access and identity. With businesses transitioning to Windows 10 and its mobile focused platform, the challenge of scaling Windows 10 desktops and applications, supporting legacy applications, and integrating an ever-expanding ecosystem of mobile applications used by mobile devices, will further the need for a secure digital workspace as the solution.

Leveraging its expertise in building enterprise infrastructure and operational tools, VMware vSphere offers enterprise container infrastructure that helps customers meet strict SLA and security requirements to run containerized applications in production.
