Sun Ray 270 Virtual Display Client

Saves desktop space

A client and monitor in one unit

The Sun Ray 270 virtual display client is contained within a sleek Sun 17-inch TFT flat-panel monitor enclosure. Plug in the power, keyboard, mouse, and a smart card, and you've got instant access to your network through Sun Ray Software. There's no tower, no disk drives—just a client. Plus, the stand is removable so you can mount the device on a wall using Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mounting options. A resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz helps reduce eyestrain and fatigue even at a distance.

Convenient, low-cost security

Securing the desktop

A Sun Ray Client contains no resident operating system or applications, which makes it virtually immune to viruses and service attacks. And, because a Sun Ray Client doesn't contain a disk drive or any means of persistent data storage, it's an unattractive target for theft. All of the data and applications displayed onscreen disappear the instant the client is turned off or the access card is removed.

Protect Your Corporate Intellectual Property

Sun Ray Clients help protect corporate data and intellectual property by moving them from insecure laptops and PCs to secure, corporate storage systems. Because the link to a Sun Ray Client can be a secure network, it's very difficult for a malicious PC user or network snooper to obtain unauthorized information from a Sun Ray Client even when it's in use. In use, a Sun Ray Client sends packets only to the proper output port, and a snooper plugged into another port receives no data.

Secure Your Network Server, Secure Your Clients

If the network server and wiring closet are secure, the final link to the thin client is switched, and the thin client is plugged directly into the wall jack, it becomes virtually impossible for communications between the server and the Sun Ray Client to be intercepted. The protocol used for communication between the Sun Ray Client and the server can be protected further with ARCFOUR 128-bit encryption.

Make removeable media impossible to remove

Finally, because no data resides on the client, and access to removable media can be centrally restricted, customer data can't disappear on a USB memory stick, CD-ROM, or laptop hard drive.

Reduces the cost of ownership

Zero client maintenance

Sun Ray devices reduce the time and cost of installing and maintaining desktops from day one. Here's how it works. Users can unpack a Sun Ray device, plug it in, and be running in minutes, without administrative assistance. From that moment onward, instant-on smart-card access connects any authorized user to the latest data, applications, and security. For you, there's no need to visit the user desk—for maintenance or administration—unless the entire unit needs replacement, indicated by a status light. And best of all, from a central location, an administrator can manage 1000 Sun Ray clients almost as easily as one—another big money-saver.

Put the desktop on a diet

With the Sun Ray virtual display clients, all computing occurs on the server. This lets administrators manage the server instead of each individual desktop, requiring fewer administrators. It also eliminates the task of individual desktop software upgrades. You can make your budget go much further by provisioning users with shared, centrally managed, consolidated processing and storage. And, no matter where they log on, every user gains server-class performance, enterprise-class access, and world-class security. Slim down the desktop and get more done everywhere else.

Built-in serial port

USB connectivity has been wonderful enhancement for almost all devices, but sometimes you still need serial peripheral connectivity. The two built-in serial ports eliminate the need for USB-to-serial converters. Front and back USB ports are included.

Flexible desktop environment

Hot Desk Mobility

Sun Ray Software completely virtualizes the desktop, which lets users move from any Sun Ray client to another and resume their desktop sessions with instant right-where-they-left-off access. Think of freezing live TV and then driving to your friend's house to restart the program in the exact same spot. That's what you get with Sun Ray Virtual Display Clients. Hot Desk mobility lets you pull your ID card out of one Sun Ray Client without saving or pausing anything on your desktop and move to another Sun Ray Client -- across the office, down the hall, in the conference room, or across the ocean, wherever there's an authorized network connection -- without losing a single thing. That's what we mean by right-where-you-left-off access.

Choose your desktop

Sun Ray Software enables users to display full-screen Windows, Linux and Solaris OS desktops on Sun Ray virtual display clients. With Sun Secure Global Desktop software, users can access all other types of legacy applications, such as those running on HP-UX, AIX, mainframe, and midrange systems. So, whatever your operating environment or application needs are, you can access and display just about anything on a Sun Ray Client.

LCD projector-port equipped

Sun Ray 270 virtual display clients are great for conference rooms. Users can prepare a presentation in the office or at home and then Hot Desk to the conference room for the meeting without bringing any slides or a laptop.

Video in connector

The Sun Ray 270 includes a video in connector so it can serve as an external display to a laptop or PC.
