I don't see an issue with the RTU cost, we buy the RTU and Sun Ray Software as part of our annual maintenance. We currently have over 3500 Sun Rays Deployed, with a additional 1500 due to be installed before October. We run our entire Sun ray infrastructure with 2 administrators. I would like to see anyone deploy 5000 Linux or Windows based PC systems and manage them with 2 people. Deploying Sun Rays across our campus saves 70% over PC deployment in annual costs. For application availability, we offer Solaris desktops, Linux VM's, Windows XP VM's, and Windows Terminal Services. Sun marketing has a challenge, since Sun Rays are part of desktop sales they don't really make a profit. However Sun Ray's sell servers, and server sales are a different marketing branch. There are many factors that effect the cost per seat, the RTU cost is minimal.
