I'm spec'ing out new hardware to replace our aging Sun Ray servers and was wondering if the T2 processor line was well suited for Sun Ray type activity or if I should go with a VI or a VII server? We'd have 50-150 users spread across two servers, mostly running Java apps and some X-windows

Good point, though I would think that the display algorithms would use some floating point calculations but I'd have to read up more on e.g. implementing JPEG style lossy compression to be sure. I was really hoping either the folks from SUN on here would have some comments or someone who has

Well, JPEG in particular (I've implemented it) CAN use floating point in the DCT (discrete cosine transform) component but doesn't necessarily have to; it depends on the implementation. But as far as an answer your question, I'm sure there's someone here who has done a direct

We did a Try and Buy on a T5120 for Sun Ray when Sun had such a program (I don't know if Oracle still does). Applications at their fastest will feel slower for users if they are running on the T2 server, however the system will scale much better (i.e. many more apps can be running and it won't
