Oracle Sun Ray Software

The Oracle Sun Ray Software software package promotes decrease in operating costs, reducing costs for technical support and upgrade and gives to users the accessibility to the virtual work places practically from any place in the world that profitable distinguishes Oracle Sun Ray Software from traditional solutions.

Thin client of Sun Ray 2.0

The thin client of Sun Ray represents the interoperable desktop solution providing reducing costs for maintenance and upgrade and also the operating costs associated with the majority of desktop environments. Sun Ray 2 will be suitable for use in call centers, educational institutions and also in telecommunication and financial companies.

Profitability

Only several system administrators can manage thousands of the desktop systems The expenses connected with the virus attacks are almost completely excluded

Security

The centralized data storage and applications allows to organize easily backup and to protect data from nesankitsionirovanny access or copying

Flexibility

• Display of a desktop of OS Windows, Linux or Solaris
• Opportunity most optimum to use investments into network infrastructure
• Updating of applications on thousands of the desktop systems within several days or hours, but not months or weeks

Thin clients of Sun Ray do not demand administration and allow to get access to applications practically of any platform – whether it be the Solaris operating system, technology Java, OS Linux, UNIX or Microsoft [Windows]], AS/400 systems or mainframes. Clients of Sun Ray differ from traditional PCs and thin clients with the built-in operating system in the fact that have no local OS which would demand management and administration.

The architecture of Sun Ray consists of two components: terminal structure (client) of Sun Ray and software of Sun Ray.

The thin client of Sun Ray represents the simple inexpensive device with low power consumption which is not requiring the administration necessary for a desktop system. Unlike difficult thin clients and the PC based on OS Microsoft Windows or the built-in OS Linux, clients of Sun Ray do not need upgrade when installing new applications or in need of increase in computing power.

Users can get access to the session from any terminal Sun Ray device on local (LAN) or global (WAN) of the computer network. It is only enough to insert a smart card into any available Sun Ray device immediately to get access to the session.

Software of Sun Ray provides means of authentication of users and enciphering of an information stream between the server and the client and also management tools sessions. It not only raises the security level, but also helps to simplify IT Wednesday and its administration. Software of Sun Ray provides means of automatic balancing of loading and optimization of performance by redistribution of sessions between group servers.

Means of balancing of loading consider loading and possibilities of each server (quantity and capacity of its processors) therefore more powerful or less loaded servers will bear a heavy load. Software of Sun Ray allows clients of Sun Ray to use connection both on local (LAN), and on global (WAN) of the computer network.

The sizes and energy consumption of the terminal Sun Ray 2 device are reduced twice in comparison with the predecessor. Despite small dimensions, this device provides all traditional functionality of thin clients of Sun Ray at lower price.

Typical energy consumption of clients of Sun Ray 2 is not enough – only 4 W. It is four times less than energy consumption of most of traditional thin clients and makes only 5% of the power consumed by the PC.

Sun Ray 2 supports resolution to 1600x1200 points with a 24-bit depth of color. These client devices are delivered without monitor, are compatible to the Sun monitors and other producers based on the standard VGA interfaces (Video Graphics Array) and DVI (Digital Video Interface).

Sun Ray Software 5.1

In the new version of Sun Ray Software 5.1 multimedia functions, work with USB devices, support of Adobe Flash and several monitors are improved and expanded. This product provides to customers and partners access to convenient highly protected virtual work places from clients of Oracle Sun Ray, desktop and portable PCs.

Sun Ray Software gives enhanced capabilities of work with the Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems.

The new version allows to take all advantage of recently provided thin clients of Sun Ray 3. The product will organize access to the protected virtual work places isnizhat load of server resources, at the same time supporting various client devices.

Sun Ray Software is included into a complete product portfolio of Oracle for virtualization. Users have an opportunity simply and effectively to virtualize and manage all stack available program and the hardware – from applications to disk arrays.

Oracle Sun Ray Software provides centralized operation and data storage and applications in server environment without use of local client operating system. Thanks to it need for service of desktop PCs disappears and the security of client terminals increases.

Sun Ray Software provides the increased flexibility and reliable protection of investments thanks to the unified infrastructure supporting work with different virtual working environments including Microsoft Windows, Oracle Linux and Oracle Solaris. This software package is compatible also to the alternative platforms for virtualization offered by other software providers.

New opportunities of Oracle Sun Ray Software 5.1 include:

• The accelerated processing of multimedia for high-quality video playback and the Adobe Flash files in virtual environments running Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.
• Function of redirection of USB which is supported in the Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems now.
• Support of input devices of a sound in the environment of Windows that allows ispolzovattaky devices as microphones and headsets, in virtual Windows Wednesdays.
• The improved network security allowing to be connected to a remote workplace using standard protocols of security of the network layer (TLS/SSL, authentication of the network layer) using CredSSP. Thus, user authentication is performed before connection to a session is completely executed.
• Updates of a microcode for all clients of the Sun Ray 3 family.
• The increased reliability offering an opportunity of automatic reconnection to Windows sessions in case of unplanned loss of communication.
