Same story here. Our edu reseller contacted us letting us know they can
longer price Sun/Oracle equipment. Sun Ray DTU's are now price $450! Up
from what we usually paid of $298 at the highest. Now Oracle is
dropping OpenSolaris, and from what I read Solaris OS will no longer be
a free download either. Can someone verify this? The future of Sun Rays
here is look very dim in deed.

I don't think Oracle Premier Support is required is it? As far as I've
seen, the Support for a Sun Ray is just "Oracle Priority Service for Sun
Ray Peripherals".
Either way, Oracle doesn't show much love for the edu industry since it
probably isn't obviously profitable from their point of view. Ditching edu
will hurt them in the long run, but probably not until after Larry has
retired.

Alexander: I have to agree about having a bad feeling about this. We
finally got a quote yesterday and we did get a little discount but it
was consumed by a "Oracle Premier Support" cost, which as far as I can
tell is a hardware support cost. Hardware support on a Sunray DTU, give
me a break. I also got the impression that our supplier is getting out
of the business of selling Oracle equipment. I think Oracle wants
customers to deal directly with Oracle. Quote: $431 for DTU, $72 for
license, $73 for Premier Support.
I got a better price from General Dynamics on their Pulsar.

Does any body know of a vendor that gives discounts on the Sunray DTUs
?
Oracle does not give government or educational discounts. We are
interested in the 3 Plus.
