Hi Sean, Thanks. Another question if we do not want to use the connector but rather a web portal with an embedded java client to access the backend what would the memory requirements look like? I am trying to make MS published applications available via Terminal Server and possibly also hosted XP desktops through the web portal. The reason for not using the sun connector is that the client I connect with has been re-written with RDP as the protocol and then some other features wrapped aroud the protocol that supports SSL and load balancing something the Sun windows connector does not do. The idea was to use codeweavers to to "emulate" the win32 subsystem and install the normal win32 client I have on the sunray server and thereby not having to use the web portal with java as the native client offer more features.
Cheers. ________________________________________ From: Sean Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 October 2007 08:39 AM To: SunRay-Users mailing list Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Sizing Hi Louis, 20 sessions per core will do you just fine. I'm not sure exactly how much memory the Windows connector uses, but if that is the only application you will be using, then 64mb memory per session should be just fine. I do know abot Codeweavers and Wine. What VDI solution are you trying to put together? There are a lot of experienced people on this list that could have already overcome your current issues. Why won't the Sun Ray Windows connector do what you want? What Win32 application is needed to connect to the VDI infrastructure? In my mind, requiring a win32 app to connect to VDI infrastructure isn't actually delivering VDI, since you need a full Windows desktop infrastructure to enable to you to connect to something else. The SunPCI card is an PCI add-on card that slots into SPARC-based workstations enabling native x86/Windows within the SPARC box. This is more aimed at technical workstations, and not full VDI deployments. Regards Sean Craig Louis Botha wrote: > > Hi Sean, > > > > Thank you for the explanation much appreciated.
