Is a Virtual Desktop Solutions worth it?
I can't begin to tell you how exciting it is to see numerous federal agencies reap the benefits of Sun Ray technology. For example:
- U.S. Army Intelligence Center deployed Sun Ray ultra-thin clients for a virtual desktop solution and save $31 Million
- Sun Ray solutions helped the U.S. Navy Lab improve performance while reducing costs by 50%
- Colorado State University reduced to less that 10% of a typical PC's power and reduced system maintenance time by 97%
Don't get me wrong, we still have a few federal agency nay sayers out there...and SunFed is working diligently to convince them that:
- Sun Ray ultra-thin client uses 1/10th of the power of a traditional PC (<25watts including the monitor)
- You can access Solaris, Linux, Windows, mainframes, and AS/400 on a single thin client
- It's possible to manage thousands of desktops with just a few administrators
- Sun Ray virtually eliminates the cost of client virus attacks
- You can centralize data and applications for greater security, cut application upgrade time from weeks to hours, hot Desk between office, conference room, and home, and numerous additional benefits.
Many people hail from Missouri, the "Show Me" state, and need to see things for themselves. I can help with that too!
