Sun Ray Virtual Display Client

— Sun Ray Virtual Display Client
As an alternative to desktop computers, the Sun Ray Virtual Display Client with thin-client architecture is a desktop unit that enables employees to work off the network server — whether they are at an on-site location or working remotely. Compared to desktop or fat-client computers, the Sun Ray thin client is significantly more energy-efficient and has a longer useful life.
