Users can easily and securely share desktops nothing is stored locally, so there is no danger of corrupting another's files. And, the Sun Ray 1 enterprise appliance is fanless, providing a noise-free addition to any setting. Back to Top Carrollton City Schools' Initial Deployment The Carrollton City school district has recently begun a pilot program with the Sun Ray 1 enterprise appliance in their elementary school. Four enterprise appliances are located in the library media center, and four classrooms contain the remaining 16 appliances. Each student has a smart card, which provides secure access to the system and enables easy mobility between any Sun Ray 1 enterprise appliance on their campus.
Ethernet switches implement the private interconnect.
These 24-port switches supply 100 Mbit Ethernet bandwidth to each enterprise appliance, enabling sufficient bandwidth for user applications. Two separate switches are needed because the enterprise appliances are located in two separate wings of the large elementary school. One switch connects the four enterprise appliances in the media center to the server with a 100 Mbit connection. The other switch connects the 16 classroom appliances to the server with a Gigabit connection. The server is also connected to the campuswide network, providing communication with other systems in the district and the Internet.
