Sun Ray Software 5.2 is the latest release of Oracle’s server-hosted desktop software. It is dramatically simpler to install and configure and features improved video, audio, smart card, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and network resiliency.
Wim Coekaerts, Oracle’s senior vice president, Linux and Virtualization Engineering said, "with Sun Ray Software, IT can centralize the management and maintenance of thousands of thin clients - reducing cost and complexity, while enhancing security. Innovations in Sun Ray Software 5.2 make it even easier to install and update, while delivering an improved end user audio and video experience."
The Sun Ray Server software is supported on Oracle Linux 5.5/5.6, Solaris 10 5/09 or later on SPARC and x86 platforms.
