We use Sun Ray desktops throughout Sun, eating our own dog food. We've done so for some time because of the amazing benefits. Hot Desking is certainly one of the tangible benefits that we see in the office, but obviously centralised system management is another.
A huge difference that is amazingly noticeable when you replace 30 desktop workstations with Sun Rays in a open plan office is the reduction in noise. You might think it's a trivial difference, but you'd be amazed at the reduction in noise if you turn all your PCs off in your office.
Eating our own dog food is one thing, but it's fabulous when a local company implements a Sun solution and is then happy to talk to people about it. That's what happened recently when a Perth based construction company, BGC was interviewed for an article in Computerworld, Switch to thin clients boosts builder's productivity.
I've known about BGC's use of the technology for a couple of years, and have visited them twice. They are very proactive when it comes to using new technology to reduce the complexity of their network. So they've even made a few tweaks to the Sun Ray environment they run.
The fabulous thing about BGC's use of the technology is that they run some remote offices on the environment as well. In Australia, with a very dispersed population, that type of story is really quite important.
