The Sun RayTM Users Group (SRUG) is an environment for collaborative and best practices assistance with Sun Ray technology. Created by Sun in response to customer demand, this collaborative Web site is hosted by the Santa Clara County Office of Education at www.sun-rays.org.

SRUG was created to facilitate Sun Ray technology collaboration in applied areas of technology and industry solutions. Jaimie Jamieson, program supervisor of technology at the Moosejaw Catholic School Board and SRUG leader, said, "We're amazed at the immediate outpouring of interest in joining the Sun Ray Users Group -- already hundreds have joined."

The phenomenon of the Sun Ray ultra-thin clients comes from its innovative technology that provides users with an interoperable desktop computing solution. It is a compact, plug-and-work device that processes only user input and screen output. It is a "headless" device that is compatible with standard VGA monitors, designed to leverage existing IT investments. Its stateless nature allows for complete session mobility, improved workflow and ensured protection of data while reducing the maintenance, upgrade and operational costs associated with most "fat" PC client environments.

"Formation of the SunRay User Group answers the call of users to provide an environment where they can share insights and experiences in an organized forum," said Larry Nelson, global group manager, Primary and Secondary Education at Sun. "Sun, together with its partners and industry leaders, have a history of creating successful community environments. From the Java User Group to the Sun Software User Group, Sun has had tremendous success in bringing together technology advocates in an interactive forum where they've been able to benefit from insightful collaborative opportunities. There will be more to come as this group comes together." [...read more...]
