RES
POWERFUSE
RES PowerFuse transforms the traditional
desktop into a context-aware, secure and
centrally managed user workspace containing
the right applications, data, printing and
personalized settings for any user. Since
RES Software separates the workspace from
the operating system and the hardware,
users can access their workspace from on any
type of device and in any location – and it will
give them the access they need based on any
number of factors including location, time, or
the type of device.

A User Workspace does not substitute a Windows desktop,
but works dynamically in combination with a Windows
desktop to manage desktop items independent from your
operating system, your applications and even your hardware.
Workspace
Composer
With RES PowerFuse the user workspace is dynamically
composed each time a user logs in to a Windows desktop.
Composition of user workspace only takes seconds and is
based on the user’s identity, location, device type and even
time of day.
After composition the user workspace contains configured
applications, data, printing capabilities and personal settings
unique to the user. It is secured simply and effectively by only
allowing the use of the available workspace items. The User
Workspace exists until the user logs off the Windows desktop.
