Omnissa and XenTegra: Market Leading VDI and Apps Solutions and Expert Services for Enterprise EUC
XenTegra provides a comprehensive set of services to support the implementation, management, and optimization of Omnissa’s End User Computing offerings.
Tune into this insightful podcast featuring Mike Stamos, GEO Leader for Americas, Northeast & Canada at Omnissa, joined by Barry Browne, VP of Sales & Strategy at XenTegra, and Rizwan Shaikh, Solutions Architect at XenTegra.
Together, they explore the emergence of Omnissa as an independent company, the shifting End-User Computing (EUC) landscape, emerging technology trends, and strategies for effective leadership during times of change.
Omnissa
Omnissa emerged as a pivotal player in the end-user computing (EUC) landscape, born from the innovative foundations of VMware’s End-User Computing division. Its story begins with VMware, a virtualization pioneer founded in 1998, which expanded its portfolio beyond server virtualization in the early 2000s to address the growing demands of digital workspaces.
By 2013, VMware had solidified its EUC offerings with solutions like Horizon—for virtual desktops and applications—and Workspace ONE, a unified endpoint management platform launched in 2016 following the acquisition of AirWatch in 2014. These products became cornerstones for enterprises seeking secure, scalable ways to enable remote work and manage diverse devices.
The transition to Omnissa as a distinct entity took shape in 2024, when Broadcom acquired VMware in November 2023 for $69 billion. Amid Broadcom’s strategic realignment of VMware’s sprawling portfolio, the EUC division—along with VMware’s Carbon Black security business—was carved out and sold to KKR, a global investment firm, in a $4 billion deal announced in early 2024 and finalized by July of that year.
Rebranded as Omnissa, a name derived from the Latin “omnis” (meaning “all” or “every”), the company was established to focus exclusively on advancing digital workspace technologies. This separation allowed Omnissa to sharpen its mission: delivering seamless, secure, and modern end-user experiences while building on VMware’s legacy of innovation.
Solution Capabilities
Omnissa’s product range aligns with four primary pillars of end-user computing:
- Digital Employee Experience (DEX): Ensures a seamless, productive experience for users with fast log-ons, quick app launches, and consistent performance across devices.
- Security and Compliance: Combines endpoint management, threat defense, and virtualization to protect data and meet regulatory requirements.
- Unified Endpoint Management: Centralizes control over diverse devices and apps, supporting modern workforce mobility.
- Virtual Desktops and Applications: Provides flexible, secure access to desktops and apps, whether on-site or remote.
These products build on the legacy of VMware’s EUC offerings, such as Horizon and Workspace ONE, retaining familiar branding for continuity while evolving under Omnissa’s new standalone identity. The focus remains on simplifying IT processes, enhancing security, and enabling a flexible, anywhere-workforce model. As a standalone company under KKR ownership, Omnissa aims to further innovate, with plans to integrate AI-driven features (e.g., autonomous workspaces) and expand its ecosystem through strategic partnerships.
