The highly-integrated suite includes device management, single sign-on, remote access control, endpoint security, analytics, automation and virtualization.

While the heterogeneity of endpoints expanded horizontally, we also saw the number of endpoints scale vertically for every one of our customers. This clearly called for a much more powerful architecture that would perform at scale and thrive in this ever-growing endpoint complexity,” wrote Naveen Pitchandi director of product, VMware Workspace ONE unified endpoint management (UEM) in a blog about the news.

Device management and screen loads now occur in a fraction of seconds even for environments with millions of devices, Pitchandi stated.
And with containerization, changes to a particular component impact that component only. That lowers the risks involved in changes and helps test each isolated use case more thoroughly. It is also easier to
