Solution: From dusk till dawn.. The dawn of Sun Ray and Oracles Virtualization solution

Tuesday, January 21st, 2014

Hi Folks,

maybe you already noticed that not only Windows XP is going EOL this year… Oracle´s Virtualization solution and there Thin Client “Sun Ray” do the same this year (see also http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sunrayproducts/overview/sun-ray-hw-lod-2028854.pdf or here: http://portrix-systems.de/blog/brost/oracle-ends-development-on-sun-ray-and-vdi-technology/)

EOL this year: Sun Ray Thin Clients

EOL this year: Sun Ray Thin Clients

So what can you do if you are a Sun customer? Igel has no official solution which is available “public” but one tip: Ask an IGEL Sales Rep if they can offer you an alternative incl. the Smart Card support to still maintain and run your current environment and have a Thin Client in place which is also ready to work with other VDI Environments like Citrix XenDesktop, VMWare View or Microsofts Remote Desktop Services.

Cheers

Michael
