Hi everybody, can somebody shed some light into the different possibilities to access a Windows server from a Sunray. As far as I can see there are at least 4 options now: rdesktop, Citrix, Sun Secure Global Desktop Software (Tarantella), and now Sun Ray Connector for Windows Operating Systems. We know and rdesktop and Citrix and I am wondering what the advantages/disadvantages of the various software solutions are. We use it as a possibility for our users to access a Windows-2003 Server (desktop) since some applications are unfortunately not available for Solaris/Sparc (Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator) or not fully functional (StarOffice compared to MS Office).
To me it looks like there is a large overlap in functionality of the 4 solutions so I am wondering what the real differences are and whether we would be better of with one of the other solutions. The only advantage I could see for the Sun Ray Connector is access to the USB ports on the Sunray.
