thanks dave this is good to know. Would you be able to say what the
server to sunray ratio giving details of the typical server spec to
support that ratio?

James,
We have almost 3000 Sun Rays installed in 166 classrooms across four
networks. For Windows we use both Windows 2003 Terminal Services and ESX
Vmware running XP Pro Desktops. We use the Sun Ray Windows connector and
Rdesktop to access the Windows clients with RDP. We use office products, and
few very complex apps. The only way to know if all your apps wil work in
terminal services is to test. For appliocations that don't like terminal
services, we use VM's. You may also have an option with products like
Win4Solaris, as they mature. They could possible replace terminal services
and Vmware.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] win4sol
Hi,
Anyone had any experience migrating an existing windows 2000/2003 server +
network PC environment complete with existing school applications to a
sunray thin client architecture? The client has about 30 applications
(spelling, drawing, math etc) from a variety of vendors. Do I have to tell
them that in order to migrate and benefit from using thin clients they will
have to make each application rdp compliant ? Or are there workaround's for
this ?

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

I 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
