If you are already using the applications on a Window Terminal server
then it is very easy to move to a Sun Ray environment.
Just use the CAM option on the sunray server to start uttsc, this
windows/sunray rdp connector will connect you to your applications on
your Windows Terminal server.
Educational applications which need synchronised audio and video are a
problem for Windows Terminal Server however.
Those applications are usual run on pcs instead of Windows Terminal server.
However you will be able to run most of these applications also on Sun
Rays if you use win4sol or win4lin instead of Windows Terminal server.
I have installed over 80 educational multimedia applications on 40
schools with a total of 1200 Sun rays using win4lin.
So I speak with some experience ;-)

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
