Omnissa dux is a command-line utility that deploys and manages Workspace ONE containerized services. You can either run this tool locally on the server where the containerized service is deployed or manage multiple deployments through a central management server.
Why dux?
This new deployment method provides significant orchestration and security improvements over deployments using Unified Access Gateway and leverages a secure container version of the gateway software.

- Deploy multiple servers at the same time
- Increased support and flexibility for the host, beyond RHEL or Unified Access Gateway
- Choose the Linux distribution of your choice for the host OS
