Case Study
ThinLinc was implemented to provide the server-based XFCE Linux Desktops to the users.
PRE-CONDITIONS Users had Sun Ray terminals. The desktops were provided through Sun Ray technology. They started looking for alternatives when Sun Ray development ended. RESULTS The Sun Ray terminals were replaced with Igel. ThinLinc was implemented to provide the server-based XFCE Linux Desktops to the users. Users access mainly research applications through the ThinLinc solution. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION & OTHER POTENTIAL USES: Organizations demanding a solution for the Sun Ray discontinuity may find ThinLinc as a potential replacement. Besides, ThinLinc may be used for providing Research Desktops to the users, making possible the use of applications running on HPC.
