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
Common Use Cases (cont’d) • Heterogeneous Application Publishing – ex: Network Operations Centers • Intellectual Property Protection – Outsourcing, proprietary software sharing – Provide access to proprietary data and applications while maintaining control • Standardize / Isolate software version dependencies • Application Service Provider – provide access to both Vertical and Horizontal market applications to customers • Server Farm “KVM” - provides world-wide access to server farm consoles to centrally-located administrators to perform remote administration / maintenance • Application metering / auditing for compliance
Industry Verticals • Financial • Banks, Investment institutions • Publish X-applications, Mainframe apps on PCs • Aladdin, Training applications • Research & Development • ISV Engg labs, Design centers, R&D centers • Publish X-Applications/Windows applications on PCs • Design & Development environments, Global Workforce • Education • K-12, Universities, Oracle University • Publish Windows applications, Oracle applications (Siebel, Oracle Student Learning) • Remote training, dynamic workload, Diverse set of devices
Industry Verticals (cont’d) • Aerospace • Airlines • Windows/X-applications on PCs • Traffic control and management, Routing applications • Telcos • NoCs, Telecom • Windows/X-applications on PCs • Network monitoring purposes, Monitoring/Recording, Privileged access • Federal/Government • Agriculture, Security agencies • Remote access to desktops and proprietary applications
Oracle IT Success Stories • Product Development IT • Serves developer environments for ~13K engineers • Oracle Fusion, Oracle E-Business Suite etc • High performance across global regions • Session mobility • Oracle University (coming soon!) • Estimated to serve ~3K students • No VPN required to access remote-training environments • High performance – Real-time training experience • Demo Solution Services • Option to deliver server hosted application demos • Single-sign-on
Key Competitive Differentiators Confidential – Oracle Restricted
Oracle Secure Global DesktopSession 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)
Oracle Secure Global Desktop Adaptive Internet Protocol (AIP) • US Patent No. 6,104,392 • Provides optimal network performance to clients, even in varying bandwidth conditions • Fast performance over LAN, WAN and Internet • Dynamically adjusts as needed • Use the designed intelligence or place a bandwidth limit • Used to transmit data between X protocol engine and client’s display engine • Request pruning, & merging • Caching • Compression • Why spend extra $$ for performance over WAN? AIP
Oracle Secure Global DesktopSecurity & Data Protection • Use the highest industry standard encryption and cipher levels • Leverage a true client-to-server SSL tunnel • Both user and internal array server traffic can be encrypted • PKI certificates verify server identity • Use included data store or integrate with your existing login authorities • LDAP/LDAPS • Microsoft Active Directory • Novell eDirectory • RSA SecurID • Web Authentication • Unix Authentication (local and NIS/NIS+) • and more... • Windows application server smart card support • Security restrictions for the end-user • Controlled copy and paste • Controlled client-drive mapping • Controlled printing • Controlled USB connectivity
Oracle Secure Global DesktopSecure Gateway at No Additional Cost! SGD Array • Hides topology and addresses of internal network • Provides single network entry point • One address and port – replaces Oracle Secure Global Desktopfirewall forwarding • Reduced Internet-facing attack surface • Apache Reverse Proxy • Authenticate in the DMZ • Before granting access to data center • Decrypt and re-encrypts data • Can leave unencrypted for IDS sensor inspection • Multiple gateways for redundancy and scalability • Use on independent server(s); not separately licensed Gateway DMZ
