Description: Environment Manager is a free user virtualization solution which enables standard desktop images to be used to deliver fully configured and personalized desktops to all employees. The technology is used as an alternative to roaming profiles and reduces the potential for profile corruption and provides users with a consistent and seamless working experience. The user component of a desktop (user personality) is decoupled from the operating system and applications, managed independently and applied into a desktop as required.
Technology/Standard Usage Requirements: Users must ensure their use of this technology/standard is consistent with VA policies and standards, including, but not limited to, VA Handbooks 6102 and 6500; VA Directives 6004, 6513, and 6517; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Officer (ISO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation.
Section 508 Information: This technology qualifies for a legally-defined Exception (Back Office) as determined by the Section 508 Office and will not need a 508 assessment prior to being available in the TRM.
