Tarantella Ships Secure Global Desktop Terminal Services Edition 4

Initially announced on July 20, 2004, Secure Global
Desktop TSE 4 features important enhancements in the areas of security,
support for cross-platform clients, printing, low-bandwidth performance and
system administration capabilities.
Leveraging its expertise in developing secure application access software,
Tarantella has added the following capabilities to Secure Global Desktop TSE
4:

-- Certificate-based server authentication, ticketing, Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption and tunneling of all RDP and IFS traffic. Users of Microsoft
Windows Terminal Server can now rely on additional, powerful security measures
to securely access their mission-critical applications from either their local
intranet or via the public Internet.
-- Smart DMZ attitude and efficient firewall navigation. Secure Global
Desktop TSE 4 now features a DMZ-friendly configuration of its relay server,
which reduces the requirements for open ports on the inner and outer firewall
to a single, configurable port.
-- Broad, cross-platform RDP client support. Now TSE 4 offers built-in
support for a wide range of client devices, including a broader range of
Windows-based terminals, Linux clients and Macintosh(R) computers to access
applications on Microsoft Windows Terminal Servers via RDP.
-- Superior printing and low-bandwidth capabilities. Secure Global Desktop
TSE 4 provides Windows Terminal Server users with an improved printing and
application performance experience. The enhancements include printer and IFS
data compression, printing bandwidth throttling for much better application
performance during large print jobs, upgraded printer driver management to
accommodate a much wider range of printers and printer drivers specific to the
operating system on the application server.
-- Additional monitoring, reporting and system administration
capabilities. Secure Global Desktop TSE 4 further increases the ease of
administration of Terminal Server installations by automating certain common
administration tasks, and by providing the administrator with additional
connection-and client-group-specific monitoring and reports -- all accessible
from the web-based management console.

Secure Global Desktop TSE 4 licenses are available for free with the
purchase of a two-year maintenance agreement for only $59.95 per user. TSE 4
is available for download immediately and the maintenance agreement may be
purchased via any authorized Tarantella reseller or through Tarantella's
