Sun Opens Up Windows On Thin Clients
Sunday, 16 April 2006 by Michel Roth
Sun Microsystems has unveiled a new version of its Sunray thin client that supports both the Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems.

The updated Sunray 2 comes in a basic configuration priced at $249 and a premium Sunray 2FS for $499. Both units are scheduled to ship later this quarter. The premium model supports dual monitors and offers a build in fibre port for high speed networking. It is well suited for secure government workers and information workers such as software developers, Sun said.

The worldwide market for thin clients is gaining momentum, according to analyst firm IDC. The devices make up less than 1 per cent of overall desktop shipments, but are growing twice as fast as PCs. The analyst firm projected last year that by 2008, thin clients might account for a 10 per cent share of the enterprise client market.
