Sun's Sun Ray Ultra Thin Clients 

Ultimate Cost Savings

Since Sun Ray thin clients have no local disk, applications, or operating system, a single administrator can easily manage well over 1,000 clients. When new OS instances or applications are introduced or more computing power is required, program managers modify the centralized back-end software components — no changes are required on the thin clients themselves. From the point-of-view of the network, Sun Ray appliances are identical except for their Ethernet address, which greatly simplifies replacement. They have no moving parts, virtually eliminating desktop repairs — if a unit fails, it can be simply swapped for another. The devices are highly reliable, with a typical life expectancy of about 22 years.

Ultimate Mobility

At any time, the user can remove the smart card and continue the session on another Sun Ray thin client simply by inserting the card into a different thin client. This enables mobility and encourages collaboration since the customer can go to a different Sun Ray thin client, insert the smart card, and automatically resume the previous session. When the session resumes on the new device, the Sun Ray thin client displays precisely the same applications that were running at the time that the card was removed.

Sun Ray Thin Clients - Model Comparison

These devices are low-power, low-cost units that require no annual desktop refresh costs but provide a familiar user experience, especially when combined with virtualization technology and the Sun Ray Connector for Windows. There are three different types of Sun Ray thin clients currently available from Sun:

The Sun Ray 2 Client.

At the lowest price point, this small footprint device is packed with traditional Sun Ray functionality. It is an extremely eco-friendly device, with an unbelievably low power consumption of only 4 watts — less than a typical night light! It can be used with existing monitors, keyboard, and mouse devices, and is particularly well-suited for cost-sensitive environments such as call centers, education facilities, healthcare applications, service providers, and financial centers.

The Sun Ray 2FS Client.

In addition to low power consumption, the Sun Ray 2FS client includes an integrated fiber optic port and built-in dual-display capabilities. These thin client models are ideal for government and electronic design automation applications where screen real estate is important and dual display screens are often deployed.

Sun Ray 270 Client.

The Sun Ray 270 virtual display client is an “all-in-one” unit that includes a brilliant, 17-inch flat panel monitor. Its compact design and flexible Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mounting options make it particularly well- suited for space-constrained environments.
