This chapter describes how to install Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD).
SGD contains several installable components:
The main SGD component, called the SGD server, installed on hosts provides the main functionality of SGD.
The optional component installed on application servers, called an SGD Enhancement Module, provides additional functionality for SGD, for example to enable users to access the drives on their client device.
The component installed on client devices enables users to connect to an SGD server.
The optional component installed on hosts, called the SGD Gateway, provides proxy server and load balancing functionality for an array of SGD servers
