obtaining, by a service broker via an orchestration server, a reservation request from an enterprise network of an enterprise, wherein the reservation request comprises an authentication credential generated by the orchestration server in which the reservation request seeks a reservation to reserve, at least in part, at least one workspace device for the enterprise for a physical workspace located at a workspace premise for a particular day and a particular time period, wherein the at least one workspace device is provided via a workspace provider network, the workspace premise and the workspace provider network are capable of being shared among multiple different users or user devices for different enterprises, and the enterprise network is separate from the workspace provider network;
based on determining that the at least one workspace device is available for the particular day and the particular time period, providing, by the service broker, a response to the enterprise network that includes, at least in part, a first indicator for identifying the reservation of the physical workspace, at least one second indicator identifying the at least one workspace device of the workspace provider network, and the authentication credential; and
upon receiving, by the service broker at a start time of the particular time period for the particular day, a session request from the enterprise network that includes, at least in part, the authentication credential and the at least one second indicator of the at least one workspace device of the workspace provider network, establishing, via the service broker, a management tunnel between the enterprise network and the workspace provider network to interconnect at least one controller or server device of the enterprise network and the at least one workspace device of the workspace provider network via the service broker to facilitate management of the at least one workspace device of the workspace provider network by the at least one controller or server device of the enterprise network, wherein the management tunnel enables the at least one controller or server device of the enterprise network to provision policies of the enterprise for the at least one workspace device of the workspace provider network.
