Ask Me Anything #4
We'd like to deploy Sun Ray clients but we don't have any Solaris admin experience in-house. Do we need Solaris skills for a Sun Ray environment?
Thanks,
A reader
No, the components that make up Sun Ray Software 4 are available for both Solaris and Linux operating systems. So, you do need some UNIX admin skills, but not Solaris specifically.
By the way, if you haven't checked out Solaris in a while, you might have missed that it's both free and open source now. Take a few minutes and head over to the Solaris 10 page for much more info.
One of the really exciting things about deploying Solaris 10 desktops on Sun Ray clients is that you can use open source products (Firefox, Thunderbird, Star Office, etc.) and an open source desktop for day to day work without sacrificing access to any critical Windows-only applications you may have. This may allow you to decrease the number of concurrent Windows users you have and perhaps reduce your licensing costs, too.
