Get to know the Sun Secure Global Desktop Software in a relatively new white paper that presents an overview of the product. In June, Sun released Version 4.5 of its access solution that now enables the deployment of applications on servers rather than clients, and provides the ability to manage and deliver access to Windows, Linux, Solaris, AS/400 and Mainframe systems from a single PC.

"In simple terms, Sun Secure Global Desktop Software allows users to access and run legacy applications, such as Microsoft Windows and/or X-Windows applications, in the same way they now access web-based applications, using only a web browser and a network connection," the publication states. "The applications published can be stand-alone applications in their native window (such as a word processor or a client-server vertical application), or full desktop environments, like GNOME or a Microsoft Windows desktop. These applications look, feel, and behave exactly as though they were local applications or desktops. Sun Secure Global Desktop Software does not utilize a “screen-scraping” type of technology, so performance and quality are of the highest levels."
