VMWare and Magic Leap Announce Strategic Collaboration

By AIT News Desk On Oct 13, 2021

Magic Leap and VMware announced a strategic collaboration between the two companies that includes support for VMWare’s recently announced Workspace ONE XR Hub on Magic Leap 2.

Magic Leap’s technology is frequently deployed to deliver remote training to frontline workers, augment designers and engineers and connect the anywhere workforce in more immersive ways.

To better enable these enterprise applications on Magic Leap’s XR platform technology, we are collaborating with VMware, a global leader in cloud infrastructure and digital workspace technology for a broad range of enterprise markets. The company’s industry-leading Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) is an intelligence-driven digital workspace platform that enables customers to simply and securely stage, manage, and support XR devices—alongside existing mobile and laptop deployments—from a single console.

Earlier this week, VMware introduced VMware Workspace ONE XR Hub, an end-to-end enterprise solution specifically built for XR devices, that enables organizations to securely deploy and deliver an exceptional employee experience with customization options and identity and access controls.

In addition, VMware announced a partnership with Magic Leap to provide same-day support for Magic Leap 2 devices with Workspace ONE UEM. This collaboration will leverage Android Work Managed Device mode, support for QR code enrollment, OTA updates, application deployment and device profiles. Workspace ONE XR Hub on Magic Leap 2, is a great step forward in enterprise XR applications and creates great utility for enterprise customers.
