Workspace Management

RES Software coined the term workspace management many years ago to describe the decoupling or separation of a user’s settings, data, applications and personalization from the underlying infrastructure. Today, workspace management is also know by many other names, including user virtualization, user state virtualization and user environment management, user workspace management among others.

With user workspace management, because of the separation of a user’s personalization from the device, operating system and delivery platforms, any changes to these technologies or hardware will have minimal disruption on a user.  In essence, organizations future-proof the desktop environment with workspace management. This is beneficial as organizations look to cloud computing and other emerging technologies to reduce costs and improve IT efficiency.

Another major advantage of workspace management is that a user’s personalization and settings will roam with them as they log on to different devices or use different delivery platforms, like from physical desktop to virtual desktops, to access their Windows desktops.

A user’s settings and personalization are portable and centrally manageable by IT with workspace management, without requiring complex scripts. RES Workspace Manager offers the most comprehensive level of workspace management on the market by  creating context-aware and adaptive workspaces for each user that IT can centrally manage and secure.

Workspace Manager is ideal for hybrid environments that consist of multiple delivery technologies and devices. It allows IT to have unified management across all the platforms within an organization.
