Using Oracle Secure Global Desktop

Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD) provides you with secure, remote access to desktop applications running on application servers.

You can be writing a report on a computer in the office, administering UNIX platform servers on your PC at home, or checking stock databases with a laptop on the train, SGD enables you do all this.

SGD also enables you to run applications over a secure network connection to safeguard corporate and private data.

With SGD, you access all the applications that you can run from a single place, the webtop.

To access a webtop, all you need is a browser with Java technology enabled.

This manual guides you through the basics of using SGD. It describes how to log in and log out of the software, as well as how you can use SGD to run applications.
