We are also struggling to find a thin client solution that users embrace and is 
easy to manage.  With only about 150 Sun Rays in an environment of 6000 
computers, there is just not the critical mass or management support at this 
time.  In my opinion Sun Rays need a 300+ implementation in order to be cost 
effective.  Curious what other say about this.  It appears that other non-Zero 
clients require less critical mass and expertise.

I concur that the Sun Ray technology may be neglected by Oracle and therefore 
will fade away.  Very unfortunate since virtualizing the desktop and thin 
client technology looks to be promising.  Wyse  (Dell) and others will gladly 
take the market share.

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

At lunch I ran into some colleagues that were switching from Sunrays to Wyse 
thin clients. So naturally I ask them why and the response was 
cost.    I have not gone through the exercise of  pricing a Sunray 
configuration compared to a Wyse terminal configuration but probable will have 
to in the near future.  Has any body in the sunray group gone through the 
process of justifying the Sunrays over the Wyse terminals ( including server 
cost) ?

Hi Steve,

we are currently ourself in the process of switching from using SunRays to 
utilizing the intel NUC platform as a ThinClient by using an optimized version 
of the Linux-based thinstation distribution together with ThinLinc. Here, not 
only the much lower costs are the main reasons for our switch, but the worse 
support since Oracle took over and because there is no real roadmap for any 
bigger enhancements coming in terms of the SunRay technology.

Sorry to say so, but I guess I will sooner or later unsubscribe myself from 
this list as soon as our switch to the other platform has been finalized.

best regards,

jens

hello,

CoronaP3
4_2_77_2009.10.19.17.01

2009?  Guessing pretty old :)  How come SRS5.0 or the Operating system
11.1 doesn't seem to have the latest available firmware? Or are these no longer 
supported?

I will dig around and see if I can find something newer...

Another thing I'd look at is the contents of /var/opt/SUNWut/log/messages to 
see if there's some reason that the session doesn't correctly start up. Do you 
use other Sun Ray models? Do they work?

I found newer firmware, I'm running 4.3_146928-01_2011.06.03.14.41 now...

Here's my log, I don't see anything odd...When I enter user/pass now, I get the 
Oracle logo and the circle.  After a while I'll get a 24D ten the screen just 
freezes.
