Oracle’s Certification Statement
• Oracle Secure Global Desktop is now certified for use with Oracle’s
browser-based products
• My Oracle Support Doc ID 1325300.1
• Statement of Certification
• “Default certification/support for all new Oracle software releases: By default, for current and
all new Oracle application software releases going forward, any internet browser and
operating system combination certified by the application itself is certified for use with the
desktop virtualization products unless the combination is not supported by the desktop
virtualization product in question or unless otherwise referenced in this support note.”
• ONLY Oracle can say this.

Common Use Cases
• Cloud Access to Corporate Applications such as Oracle's web applications for
telecommuters, mobile users, partners, and customers
• Disaster / Dislocation Recovery, from snow day to pandemic
• Running X-Windows applications on Windows desktops – alternative to PC-based
X11-Servers, reducing client and network load, centralizing administration, and
improving security
• Remote Development – allows off-shore developers to access remote development
workbench, with access to heterogenous tools/IDE's and source, while protecting the
source from download
• Mergers and Acquisitions – enables application and data access across corporate
boundaries

Key Competitive Differentiators
Oracle Secure Global Desktop
Certified for Oracle Applications
•Certified for access with any Oracle web-applications
•XenApp and XenDesktop are NOT certified for Oracle
Simplicity and ease of use
•Simpler: installation and configuration in hours
•Lengthy & complex installation and configuration
•Needs only a standard browser to access applications
•Separate device-specific software (Receiver) client to access
applications
•Supports Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mainframe, UNIX
applications
•Primarily supports only Windows applications
•Anywhere access to application via included secure
gateway
•Secure gateway must be purchased separately for non-
User Productivity
•Simplified suspend-resume experience for application
sessions on-the-go: Pick-up where you left off in complex
enterprise application flows
•Inconsistent and incoherent suspend-resume experience for
application sessions on-the-go
One-stop-shop
•One vendor : the full stack, end-to-end
•Requires multiple vendor contracts for purchasing and
support – Citrix, Microsoft, VMWare, Oracle
Mixed Farm Support
•Oracle Secure Global Desktop supports mixed farm
environments containing Windows Server 2003, 2008 and
2008 R2, Linux, UNIX and Mainframe servers.
•Latest version XenApp 6 supports only Windows Sever 2008
R2
Broad Application OS Access

Oracle Secure Global Desktop
Session Persistence (On-the-go)
• Allows for not just applications access on-the-go, but also access application “state”
• Independent of device (Sun Ray Client, PC, Mac)
• Typical scenario
• Sales consultant logs into an application (e.g. CRM) at work on a desktop
• Arrives at a particular screen displaying customer specific CRM information
• Sales consultant needs to visit a customer, “pauses” the application on Oracle Secure Global
Desktop
• Arrives at customer site with his laptop, logs into Oracle Secure Global Desktop
• “Plays” the CRM application
• The exact screen where he left off (prior to leaving work) is displayed
• Improving productivity at the customer site
• “Follow-me” printing (printer context from local device)
