We have been using SunRays for 4 years now and have 100% availability on all desktops (125) & servers (3). No virus problems, crashes, deleted files/icons. It's been fantastic. Use a free rdp client to access Windows apps when required & StarOffice will sometimes open MSOffice docs better than MS too! A 1 minute job to install a new workstation (unbox, connect to network & login). USB support for memory sticks, scanners, cdrom drives etc. Greatly reduced software licence problems, much less noise & heat generated & our insurance costs are 30% less. Flat LCD screens (SR170) fold down out of the way, connect to a data show projector easily and stereo audio output make multimedia exhibitions a joy to set up & use. Smart Card (SC) mobility and security is awesome! The future with Solaris10/JDS3 and x86 support will be exciting as will be WAN Broadband accessibilty with only a SC to lug around! Thin clients are the way to go, MS have got away with too many problems for far too lon g & it's about time to try something new & better. Any article on TCO over time proves that thin clients are the future! Regards, Brian.
