software ushered in a new era of secure application and information access for
its growing worldwide customer base.
Tarantella's Secure Global Desktop is the only secure remote access product
family that meets all of the needs of today's agile enterprise, from

is the platform of choice for supporting secure access to the widest range of
applications from the largest assortment of devices.
"This new product family delivers unprecedented value to our customers,"

longer have to purchase separate products for their Microsoft and Linux
environments. From intranet-based thin clients to PC users spread throughout
remote offices, to mobile professionals accessing information via PDAs, the
Secure Global Desktop family of products offers the industry-leading security
and flexibility our customers demand without the immense complexity and
exorbitant cost of other solutions."
The two members of the Secure Global Desktop Family, Enterprise Edition and
Terminal Services Edition, project Tarantella's extensive experience in the
development of secure remote access software to a new level of power and ease
of use, expediting the flow of real-time information across enterprise-scale
operations.

Services in Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. TSE offers Windows
Terminal Services users enhanced security for Internet-based application
access, load balancing for managing larger numbers of users and servers, and
policy-based application management services to ensure appropriate access at
the user level. In addition, TSE's native support for the RDP protocol to
access applications allows customers to preserve their investment in Microsoft
