Hi David,
It would be great feature. We are facing TCO problem when having Windows
environment. We always had at least one extra machine to host SRSS compare to
other thin client.
Btw, where I can get this information? any beta version I can download from?
Looking forward to it.
Thanks,
Fitra

contacted virtual Bridges for information on their win4sol
product. They were very quick to get back to me. I was provided a download
copy of Win4sol Pro. I installed it on a Ultra20m2 running Solaris 10 11/06.
They provide two package installs, one is a standard X86 32bit, and amd64. I
installed the amd64 package since I am running a Ultra20. The instructions
provided are excellent. I was able to build the XP Pro image (20GB), and
install the image to a user in less than an hour.
I set up the /winsol/local.setings file to run XP in "maximized"
mode, the performance is excellent. I went to Youtube and ran a couple of
video clips, there was barely any lag with video. Audio was good but had a
few noise spikes noted. Using the Xserver instead of RDP for Windows makes a
big difference. I ran mpstat and saw very little cpu usage. I was able to
lock up win4sol once, but I am not sure what I did. For the most part
win4sol is solid for a pre-release.
My next test is to load the Sun Ray server software on my Ultra20
and test performance. I will post my results. Win4sol is not in release yet,
infact they are still working on pricing. The target audience is Vmware and
Terminal server users. I really like the concept, because it would be
interesting to see a 4600m2 running Solaris, SRSS, and win4sol all on one
box. This would really reduce the TCO.
Sorry for the Rambling
