Like most System Engineers at Sun, I'm often called upon to demonstrate Sun's technology especially Solaris 10 and Sun Ray thin clients. In the past, demonstrating Sun Rays meant bringing a customer into our Sun office OR setting up a network server and device at the customer's location.
To make this much easier, I decided to follow the example of others and turn my Sun issued MacBook Pro into a Sun Ray server. As a result of this configuration, I can set two devices on my customer's desk with only one ethernet cord and no power cords (have to keep those batteries charged) to display the power of the Sun Ray thin client. I also have a configuration (thanks to Matt) the provides a multi-level Solaris environment via Solaris 10 Trusted Extensions along with the ability to display an MS Windows desktop using Win2003 running in a separate virtual machine on the same Mac. Very Cool!
Thinking about getting a Mac Pro and working on a SunRay notebook terminal.
