I have 3 dozen software developers on a T5240 (w/64GB). It is their desktop system. Software builds are done on dedicated build farm.
Citrix Presentation Server (Precursor to XenApp) is used for remote access. X11VNC is also used for remote access. -----Original Message----- From: sunray-users-boun...@filibeto.org [mailto:sunray-users-boun...@filibeto.org] On Behalf Of LeBar, Russell J Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 3:07 PM To: SunRay-Users@filibeto.org Subject: [SunRay-Users] Which makes for a better Sun Ray server -- the M orT SPARC lines? 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 traffic via SSH X11 forwarding. We would also have a small Citrix XenApp for UNIX deployment. My guess is that compression and encryption take a hit on the T2s because floating point isn't their strong suit, but though I would ask due to the big difference in price.
