With Citrix XenDesktop hosted virtual desktop delivery model, users spend the majority of their time in a genuine Windows client environment hosted in the datacenter. RES Workspace Manager ensures a consistent, transparent, fully secure, and controlled experience no matter how or where users access this virtual desktop.

Efficient Personalization

Successful desktop virtualization depends on the user’s ability to access a consistent desktop, including applications, data, and personalization, no matter where, how, or through which device they log in. RES Workspace Manager enables IT to provide a fully consistent experience without the need to create a dedicated virtual desktop for every user. By managing user-specific workspaces independently of images and dramatically reduce storage while streamlining support. IT can still simply maintain a single golden image shared by all.

Contextual Awareness

RES Workspace Manager makes XenDesktop sessions context-aware, so resources are exposed according to:

• The user’s location
  
• Network access method
  
• Time of day
  
• Other IT-defined parameters
  

For example, a user can be allowed access to all resources within the office, but to fewer applications from a separate facility or home office. Access to sensitive data can be restricted outside the firewall. Printing can be disabled for remote workers. Automatic policy enforcement gives IT an efficient way to ensure that resources are never exposed where they shouldn’t be.
