Omnissa is bringing its Omnissa Sovereign Solution (OSS) to more countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The managed service keeps data, management, support, and contracts within the customer’s jurisdiction. Another new feature is support for Windows Server, allowing local management to extend beyond just end-user devices.
OSS is now available in eight markets: Austria, Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, South Korea, and India. France, Norway, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Thailand will follow in the coming months. According to Omnissa, OSS is already running on hundreds of thousands of devices, including those of customers in regulated and mission-critical sectors.
Omnissa is the former End-User Computing division of VMware, which was spun off following its acquisition by Broadcom.
Four elements on-premises
OSS rests on four pillars that remain within the customer’s jurisdiction. Customer data is stored on local infrastructure. A local partner certified by Omnissa implements and manages the service. Technical support is also provided locally. And the contract? The customer enters into it with that same local partner, not with Omnissa itself. In current markets, GEMA International Hosting is the primary service provider.
With the new support for Microsoft Windows Server OS, an even larger portion of the IT environment falls under this local management model. Within Workspace ONE and Horizon, customers can also choose from various deployment models, including running the solution in their own data center.
The endpoint as a workspace for agents
The framing is striking. Omnissa explicitly links sovereignty to AI agents. According to the company, it’s not just about where data is stored, but also about who manages the environment, which laws apply, and which agents are active within it. CEO Amit Singh: “The endpoint is the final link in AI security within organizations: this is where agents access applications, data, and systems, and where intelligence is translated into action.”
Omnissa has adopted a prevention-first approach. The goal is to reduce the likelihood that an agent, whether malicious or not, will exploit a vulnerability. According to the company, detection and response remain necessary, but a secure and trustworthy underlying environment is paramount.
