[ Technology ] SunRay @ CommunityOne

This year, at CommunityOne and JavaOne, every user has access (through their registration smart cards) to arrays of SunRay clients and a choice of Windows, OpenSolaris and Ubuntu desktops accessed through the SunRay clients. The system is powered by SunRay servers and VirtualBox virtualization environment. I'm using one of the SunRay 270's to write and post this blog. (I selected the Ubuntu desktop.)

[ Sun Microsystems Inc. ] Seamless on SunRay

Working on this SunRay 270 in the San Francisco office is a pleasure, and just as I was reading and writing my last few e-mails and browsing some internal wiki's before returning to MPK, both the browser and the e-mail clients automatically upgraded to the Firefox 2.0.0.8 and Thunderbird 2.0.6 on Solaris, seamlessly and with almost 0 downtime in my work. Great stuff, and better than my iMac at home!

[ Networks ] Same Desktop Everywhere -- From the San Francisco Bay Area to Bangalore

I'm working on the same desktop I used last week in the Bay Area, now on a "SunRay 170" here in Sun's Bangalore drop-in center. (Later models of Sun Ray client are also available—a great tool for all global corporations.)

Now, I should wonder why I lugged my laptop across the globe?
