2Pint Software and Omnissa partnership: Closing the gaps in OS deployment, bare-metal imaging, bandwidth optimization, and endpoint recovery

Managing the endpoint lifecycle shouldn’t mean multiple tools and teams having to spend endless time just to get a device from bare metal to fully managed and do the same again when things go wrong. By combining Omnissa’s endpoint management with 2Pint Software’s OS deployment, provisioning, recovery, and content management capabilities, we’re closing that gap and simplifying the journey from first boot to day-to-day management, recovery, and beyond. Fewer moving parts, less infrastructure to maintain, and a much simpler way to manage endpoints at scale.

Partnering on an overall approach to device management

What is better than working as a team? A partnership working together across teams and organizations. 2Pint Software and Omnissa have seen the benefits of this teamwork and have joined forces, as announced yesterday at Omnissa ONE, to better orchestrate endpoint deployment, content management and device management from end to end. With this exciting new partnership, 2Pint Software brings capabilities in OS deployment, bare-metal imaging, bandwidth and network optimisation, and endpoint recovery together with Omnissa Workspace ONE and Horizon. Omnissa brings the digital workspace, while we bring the endpoint deployment and content delivery expertise. Together, we provide capabilities to help IT teams get apps, updates, and operating systems where they need to be quickly and reliably, without giving the network or the end user a bad day.

Innovating for the IT team and your user experience

At 2Pint Software, we know that Endpoints operate in a state of continuous change, from frequent operating system updates, evolving applications, and shifting management requirements. This was one of the driving forces behind our partnership with Omnissa. Together we can manage a device across its lifecycle, from the moment it enters the fleet, through the building process with DeployR and iPXE Anywhere and all the way to unified endpoint management with Omnissa ONE and content update management with StifleR. DeployR’s bare-metal capabilities put customers back in control by replacing legacy imaging dependencies and prioritizing both the endpoint and user experience. Whether Windows 11 refreshes are filling your calendar, branch offices are scattered across the map, or MDT is still hanging around like a guest who missed the hint, with our partnership, we can help modernize deployment across physical and virtual desktops without adding another silo. The result is an OS-agnostic approach that supports Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS. With 2Pint Software and Omnissa, provisioning and enrolment can be planned as a journey from day one. Now with Omnissa ONE and Horizon, the 2Pint Software product stack brings the additional capabilities of imaging, recovery, and bandwidth. Put it all together and you get one seamless approach to device management – a practical full stack that takes you from bare metal to managed endpoints without a collection of point tools.

But doesn’t Workspace ONE UEM support bare-metal imaging already? The short answer is No. Workspace ONE UEM does not natively provide bare-metal imaging today. This partnership fills that gap, allowing devices with no operating system installed to be provisioned and prepared for Workspace ONE UEM enrolment. Modern endpoint recovery increasingly requires the need to support recovery from device failure, operating system corruption, field incidents and cyber events. Recovery is more than the ability to deliver the OS image but the ability to boot the device, authenticate the path, fetch content reliably and monitor the endpoint. By combining the capabilities of both Omnissa and 2Pint Software successful recovery at scale in all locations is at your fingertips.

Managing network and bandwidth to protect business critical systems

As if that was not enough, by combining the future of OS deployment with intelligent network management for content transfers, 2Pint Software prevents OS deployment from overwhelming your network. Avoid those angry calls from your network team by leveraging Microsoft’s native, industry standard peer-to-peer content distribution technologies, including BranchCache, Delivery Optimization, and LEDBAT. Combining dynamic bandwidth throttling and real-time consumption dashboards, the capabilities of StifleR ensure large OS and software deployments are delivered efficiently without overwhelming the network. This protects your network connections and WAN or VPN without disrupting business critical network use.

Recovery at scale

Modern endpoint programs must increasingly support device failure, operating system corruption, field incidents, ransomware events, and large-scale cyber recovery scenarios. The partnership of our organizations unites a wide breadth of expertise in systems management through complementary capabilities. iPXE Anywhere establishes a trusted and secure boot path independent of the installed operating system to reach devices regardless of their location. DeployR gives you the next generation in OS deployment tooling. With StifleR you get visibility and control over content distribution across the enterprise. By combining secure boot, automated deployment, recovery orchestration, distributed content management, and operational telemetry, the organizations have the ability to rebuild devices in locations anywhere and anytime, while Omnissa Workspace ONE takes over at enrolment, applying policy, security, configuration, applications, and ongoing lifecycle management to provision each device as a trusted, fully managed endpoint.

This is an exciting partnership, and we are delighted to work alongside Omnissa to make endpoint management smarter, faster, and more reliable for customers worldwide because endpoints should work hard, not make IT teams work harder. This partnership extends the possibilities for any IT organization and provides one single route to close any gaps.
