Hi everyone,
as much as i like sunray solutions, i am wondering is sun gonna bring
out syn ray v5 that can compete more with citrix and where you can get
full multimedia support on the thin client together with local cd en dvd
burning etc... Or are they gonna stop the development ?
Well, supposedly they introduced the SR2 and SR2FS with some new
hardware features specifically to support multimedia better. However,
they have made a HUGE design flaw in my opinion. To get a reasonable
resolution on some larger monitors (that are becoming MUCH more
widespread due to the decrease in prices) you have to buy the 2x cost
SR2FS instead of a SR2.
Sun has recently put their 24" LCD monitors on a matching grant for
Education customers at just over $300. However, to support them at their
native resolution I have to replace my SR1's with used SR1g's or to get
the potential for the newer multimedia performace, I have to spend twice
as much to get a SR2FS that has fibre and dual headed features that I do
NOT want.
I don't understand why the SR2 does not replace the 1g with a new
version (the SR2FS) available at the higher price for the government
which is why it was developed in the first place. Just makes no sense.
