Using a combination of App Volumes and User Environment Manager, tenants are able to deliver a minimal desktop image, yet provide a persistent desktop experience to end-users. One of the main advantages of User Environment Manager is the minimal infrastructure footprint required.

Features such as clipboard access, USB, printing and drive redirection can be restricted based on the user location. For example, Tenant Administrators can allow remote access over the internet, and setup Horizon policies to disable device redirection features unless users connect from an office local area network.
