hello all,
FYI: this Q&A (regarding Sun Ray's) are taken from the online chat that was part of the Sun Quarterly Launch Event - Network Computing 04Q2. the whole transcript of the chat session is available here: http://sunchat.savvis.tv/post/20040601/
enjoy,
Stoyan
Q: What is Sun doing to ensure that the Blade and Ray technologies are not ousted by its competitors?
Subodh Bapat (A): Sun is continuing to aggressively develop both its SunBlade and SunRay server technologies. We expect SunBlade to continue to be the leader in the 64-bit RISC workstation market with new speedbumps coming out in the UltraSPARC IIIi product line. There are exciting new developments in store for SunRay, including a variety of new WAN, LAN, and wireless connectivity options which really have many customers excited.
Q: When will the "Java Desktop" be offered on the Solaris Platform with the look and feel that it currently has on Linux? We use SunRay appliances and it would be nice to offer the JavaDesktop look and feel.
Herb Hinstorff (A): Good point and we agree. Stay tuned.
Q: Have you thought about the possibility of porting the Sun Ray client software to something like the PlayStation 2 (or later 3) and delivering the desktop over broadband to consumers? Herb Hinstorff (A): Sun Ray is a stateless client. We are looking at providing broadband capabilities.
Q: When will we see a wireless Sun Ray product?
Herb Hinstorff (A): You can configure Sun Ray to work with a wireless network today using external components. We are considering integrating additional connectivity options in future generations of Sun Ray Ultra-Thin Clients.
Q: I'm a account manager with a BP in Phoenix, In working with Sun SE's and AM's for the SunRay's and Thin Client products. I am very impressed with the TCO to replace the PC in many of my clients environment. But, I'd like to see more Sun press/advertising/marketing around this product suite. Most customer are virtually unaware of the SunRay product line. Any plans in the future to provide more press around the SunRay's?
Herb Hinstorff (A): SunRay is an awesome product! We show customers every chance we can and will highlight in an upcoming security ad since with a SunRay you don't have the security/virus problems you have with a Windows PC. Thanks for the feedback.
