Resource management
To provide the best experience for users, Workspace Environment Management monitors and analyzes user and application behavior in real time, then intelligently adjusts RAM, CPU, and I/O in the user workspace environment.
Profile Management
To deliver the best possible logon performance, Workspace Environment Management replaces commonly used Windows Group Policy Object objects, logon scripts, and preferences with an agent which is deployed on each virtual machine or server. The agent is multi-threaded and applies changes to user environments only when required, ensuring users always have access to their desktop as soon as possible.
Workspace Environment Management Infrastructure Services. The Infrastructure Services broker is installed on a Windows server. It synchronizes the various back-end components (SQL Server, Active Directory) with the front-end components (Administration Console, Agent Host).
Workspace Environment Management Administration Console. The Administration Console is installed on a Windows client or on a server operating system (OS). It connects to the Workspace Environment Management Infrastructure Services. You use the Administration Console to manage your Workspace Environment Management installation (to create and assign resources, manage policies, authorize users, and so on).
