HP Introduces Next-Gen Digital Workspace Technology to Power the Future of Work

Deploying, managing, and scaling virtual desktops and remote workstations just got easier with Anyware Manager Enterprise. This major enhancement moves HP Anyware one step closer to fully integrating into the HP Workforce Experience Platform.

HP is making major strides in the secured remote access space with the launch of Anyware Manager Enterprise with Anyware Cloud Gateways. These next-gen digital workspace technologies significantly enhance HP Anyware’s remoting capabilities, making it faster and easier to deploy hybrid, multi-cloud virtual desktops and remote workstations across devices and networks. They also make IT management more flexible and scalable by simplifying digital workspace lifecycle tasks.

Organizations now have access to one solution to support their hybrid, multi-cloud environments. Instead of relying on a mix of different point solutions, companies can shrink their IT footprint, have more centralized control over their data and applications, and provide their employees with secure remote access to digital workspaces from virtually anywhere.

Furthermore, these digital workspace technologies are poised to join IT Fleet Management, Employee Engagement, and Endpoint Security to round out the HP Workforce Experience Platform. Now available for private beta access, HP Workforce Experience is a device and OS-agnostic, cloud-based platform that enhances workforce productivity across PCs, printers, collaboration tools, and accessories.

Get More Users Up and Running Fast—With Less IT Resources

For employees to perform their best, organizations must create seamless, efficient, and engaging digital environments no matter where their teams work. Flexibility is the new non-negotiable of the modern workforce, whether employees work in-office, at home, or on the go. 39% of global knowledge workers are estimated to have gone hybrid, while 46% of job applicants are interested in remote or hybrid jobs.

HP Anyware enables more users to access digital workspaces securely while reducing the burden on IT teams. Taking the complexity out of deployment, network setup, and remoting management allows more employees to focus on their work without worrying about technical hurdles.

Anyware Manager Enterprise

Anyware Manager Enterprise is a control plane that simplifies the management of virtual desktops and remote workstations. IT teams can configure, manage, and monitor the brokering of remote workstations and automate many repetitive lifecycle tasks.

For example, Anyware Manager Enterprise automates tenant deployment, machine provisioning, machine configuration, user assignment, connection brokering, and more. It is a single solution, based on a multi-tenant SaaS model, that helps to streamline workflows and free up IT admins to focus on higher-value work.

Additionally, Anyware Manager Enterprise streamlines troubleshooting by giving admins better visibility and control over virtual workspace environments. A simple, easy-to-understand dashboard delivers information on what you need to know, including connections, user sessions, machines under management, and the pools that the machines live in (with the same application stack, security policies, and access). IT admins gain comprehensive monitoring data to help provide end-users with a smoother and more reliable remote working experience.

Anyware Cloud Gateways

Anyware Cloud Gateways are HP-hosted gateways designed to enable fast and secure communication between clients and cloud-hosted apps and services. They simplify the connection process by removing the need for custom connectors and on-premises setups. Instead of direct communication, both clients and hosts connect to the Gateway exclusively through outbound traffic.

This system significantly reduces common remoting challenges such as complex network configurations, firewall changes, client-side infrastructure management, and potential malware threats. Additionally, Anyware Cloud Gateways streamline governance, security, and change control processes, making it much faster and easier to provide users with secure access to their remote or virtual desktops.

Anyware Manager Enterprise with Anyware Cloud Gateways is currently available in North America and will expand to more regions in the future.

High Performance and Knowledge Workers: Unlocking Productivity Across a Wider Breadth of Users

In the digital workspace market, remote access solutions that work on a single platform for all kinds of use cases are becoming more common. With the launch of Anyware Manager Enterprise, HP’s advanced virtual workspace technologies are now available to a much wider range of users, not just high-performance workers.

Now, it’s not just CAD designers, data scientists, and video editors with demanding tasks who benefit. Knowledge workers in finance, HR, sales, marketing, and even contract workers can securely access remote desktops and virtual workstations from anywhere. Whether connecting your HP Anyware-powered digital workspace to Windows 365 Cloud PCs, VMware vSphere, or other apps and productivity tools, HP is leading the charge by making remote work solutions accessible to a broader range of users and allowing more people to work from different locations.

Digital Workspaces in the HP Workforce Experience Platform

Helping employees with simple and complex remote workflows is a big step forward, but modern businesses still face many challenges. To keep workers productive and doing their best, companies need to improve the digital experience for every employee, including those working remotely on virtual machines.

That’s why the HP Workforce Experience Platform, set for a future release, is expected to include Digital Workspaces powered by HP Anyware. Companies can gain better visibility, control, and security over their virtual desktops by using telemetry data from millions of devices.

Along with IT Fleet Management and Employee Engagement, future Endpoint Security and Digital Workspaces releases will complete the HP Workforce Experience Platform. As a complete digital employee experience solution, it will allow businesses to monitor and manage every PC, Mac, Digital Workspace, printer, collaboration tool, and accessory from one centralized system. This platform will help organizations unlock their workforce’s full potential, making it HP’s most innovative workforce experience offering yet.
