I'll Get My Coat

Sun IdM & Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Demonstrator

So I finally got around to encoding and uploading this video that shows in about 10 minutes how the Sun Identity Management suite can complement the Sun VDI product. The products used in this demon included the following (in no particular order)

• Sun OpenSSO Enteprise
• Sun Identity Manager
• Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition
• Sun Ray Server
• Sun Secure Global Desktop
• Sun VirtualBox
• Sun VDI
• OpenSolaris 2008.11

Our goal (Joachim Andres and I) was to show how Sun are uniquely placed to provide the whole stack from the operating system, smartcards, SunRay thin client device, through to the desktop delivery mechanism including the actual virtualised image and to top it all off a splash of Identity Management (IdM) in the form of Single Sign On and Provisioning services.

The benefits of the Sun Virtual Desktop solution are so many it's hard to actually express it clearly I keep fumbling I truly believe that this market is huge and one hopes that Sun and their partners can make significant progress helping our customers implement desktop virtualization. I'm not going to list all the benefits of Sun VDI and the supporting software stack above, I'll let the VDI product manager explain in person here

Remember, your desktop is not your PC or Mac, it's where you get your work done !  The desktop can be delivered independent of the actual physical device you're using, that's the whole point, use the internet to get your work done wherever you may be and whatever device you may be using.
