There are two ways to let users work from the office and from home
and continue the same session from both locations:
1. Connect from office via SRSS to SSGD and from home to SSGD. So
always use SSGD and leave the sessions open on SSGD (from the example
earlier 600 SRSS and 600 concurrent SSGD users)
2. Connect from office via SRSS to VMWare VDA and from home via SSGD
to the same instance (based on username) on the VMWare VDA. (600
SRSS, 600 VM-machines and 25-50 SSGD users)
To present a cheaper option is to use the second option without
VMWare, just plain and simple Windows Terminal Server (for example
6-10 times Windows 2003R2 X64). If SSGD can take over the SRSS
session the users will still be able to resume the work from the
office from any location.
I know there are other ways, but I am always looking for nice, clean,
cheap and the best option for our customers.
(At Sun it is possible to resume the work from SunRay at work if you
start your session via the various SSGD servers. Most Sun employees
are technical enough to understand when or when not to use SSGD.
There are however companies where you can not ask almost all
employees to choose if they should work via SSGD or directly. :( )

Guys,
If I understand correctly, Trev is right.
SGD is licensed by concurrent user.
So you could buy, in this example, 25-50 SGD licenses, which are
shared amongst your 500 potential users.

The main problem of connecting from SunRay to SGD and let users
use SGD at home is that you need to have a license for SunRay and
a license SGD for all users. If you have a company with 500 users
and only 25 or 50 of them may access their applications from home,
then you still need to have 500 SGD licenses.
I could be mistaken, I am just doing my first roll out of SGD. They
are licensed for 40 concurrent users, but anyone from their AD gets
access. Which is 400+ users.
There is also an other option to share teh same desktop between
SGD and SunRay, but you need to have the VMWare VDA Kit to let
users connect to their own desktop from either the SGD or the
SunRay server.
I wrote my own Tcl script to connect to the Sun Ray server LDAP and
pull the IP which to connect to. Which is stored in the 'Other'
field you see in the web admin. There isn't much glue you need to
piece them together. The VDA Kit was unsupported, and I had a few
problems with it while testing. So I went with my own few lines of
code I added to the default SGD script.
