I've had a number of customers ask about this, and at least one
customer considered it a bug because they couldn't hot desk between Sun
Ray and SGD. Some thoughts on this .. If you run up against this, you could consider pushing the Sun Ray server as purely an access server, with SGD providing access to the application sessions. For example, what I mean is .. - configure Sun Rays for CAM mode - publish just a browser with the home page set to SGD (i.e. no Sun Ray desktop available) - user logs into SGD - user starts sessions - user can hot desk just using SGD Some benefits of this.. - can secure access to devices onsite using Smart Cards and authentication - eases up load on Sun Ray servers as there are no desktops running on it - no data stored on Sun Ray servers, easy to remove/add new ones with minimum fuss (admittedly can be solved with shared backend storage for home dirs, etc). If you configure SGD so no sessions run on that either, then both layers simply become access/service layers. This would make sizing these layers a lot easier as it's easier to size X number of CAM sessions and a browser/client per user instead of a whole desktop on the Sun Ray servers and an unknown number of applications within that desktop session. The one customer that considered this a bug hasn't brought up the subject since I described this scenario. Curtis. Remold Krol | Everett wrote: In my opinion the combination with SSGD will be ideal. When SSGD can take over a SunRay session (a form of SoftRay) SSGD can handle the connection to Thick Clients. -- Desktop Technical Specialist Sun Microsystems accessline: (310) 464-6289 internal: 41621 |
