Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure also enables you to utilize existing IT assets, increase scalability, and simplify management. Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3.2 introduces the following new features. Feature Description Global Oracle Extends the basic "hot desking" experience known from a single Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure VDI Centers environment to encompass multiple Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure environments. It helps when users travel from one site to another site and need access to their desktops. For more information, refer to the following pages: About Global Oracle VDI Centers How to Prepare a User Directory for Global Oracle VDI Centers 3 Oracle VDI 3.2 Installation and Configuration Guide Companies Enable multiple user directories to be configured for one Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure environment. This feature provides privacy between multiple groups within the same Oracle VDI environment.

Desktop Screen For more information, refer to the following page: Locking How to Enable Desktop Screen Locking on Sun Ray Clients Architecture Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is made up of four main components: virtualization platform, session management (Oracle VDI Core), desktop access clients, and storage. Full Size | Edit Diagram | Remove Diagram Desktop Access Three distinct mechanisms are supported for access to virtual desktops. Sun Ray Thin Client or Oracle Virtual Desktop Client - Users can access their virtual desktops through a Sun Ray Thin Client (DTU) or through Oracle Virtual Desktop Client software by authenticating themselves with a user name and password, or a token card can be inserted in a Sun Ray Thin Client in place of providing a user name. Successful authentication initiates a custom Sun Ray Software Kiosk Session. The custom Kiosk Session uses the Oracle VDI Core to request access to a virtual desktop on behalf of the user. Once a virtual desktop has been assigned to the user, a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection to the desktop is established for the session using the Sun Ray Windows Connector. Secure Web Access with SGD - In this case, the browser is used to initiate an Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD) session. SGD, in turn, uses the Oracle VDI Core's RDP redirection capability to establish a connection to an assigned virtual desktop. RDP Client Access - (RDP redirection must be supported on the client side to use this mechanism). As with the previous case, the Oracle VDI Core's redirection capability is used to establish a connection to an assigned virtual desktop. Session Management The central component of Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
