Frequently Asked Questions:o:p>

What do we do?

• We develop firmware, operating systems for Thin client / Network appliances etc.
• We develop protocols and terminal server emulation software for remote desktop computing for POSIX based systems/X based Server platforms(Linux, Unix etc). 
• Along with appropriate hardware, Sundyne’s thin operating systems are used for products such as Network terminals, thin Clients, Firewall boxes, routers, VPN solutions, POS, all kinds of information KIOSKS and Client - server solutions.
• The software products developed by Sundyne are offered in form of solutions for Server centric computing rather than only a thin client.

What are we currently focused on?

• We have developed an array of Server centric & Thin client computing solutions based on the protocols & software products we develop.
• Our solutions are used to implement complete centralized computing / server centric computing
• Our solutions are useful for all kind of Operating environments, heterogeneous environments Viz., For MS Windows, GNU/Linux, Unix platforms etc

What do our Thin client solutions do?

• Our Thin clients emulate various types of Server OS terminals such as for GNU/Linux(Using Sundyne’s Xs protocol), MS Windows NT Terminal server Edition, MS Windows 2000 & 2003 Server(Using MS RDP protocol), All flavors of Unix, Sun Solaris etc.
• Our Thin OS is portable on existing PC hardware (i.e. x86 compatible from 486 and above.) This means that with the help of our solution, organizations can virtually run the windows 2000 OS and all applications on it on any x86 compatible hardware with existing network infrastructure.

Why organizations need them?

• Organizations which have an existing IT infrastructure (i.e., client server computing environment) can use our solution to enable use of latest software’s which they are currently not able to do due to the hardware limitations etc. They will be able to expand overnight with Least TCO. Faster ROI. They will be able to zero down the maintenance and administration involved on the client nodes. Leveraging more out of the existing IT infrastructure.
• Organizations planning for expansion or planning for a new IT infrastructure can use our solutions to save on the TCO by 40% - 70%. With the help of our solutions their IT infrastructure can become future proof which means that no major hardware upgrades will be required to catch up with advances in operating systems or application programs

What kind of Thin client solutions we have?

We have the following solutions

• Solutions for Windows Computing Environments

Our thin client solutions for windows computing environments enable organizations to eliminate the windows clients/desktops by replacing them with our thin client OS / bundled system (hardware with OS). The thin client will emulate windows terminal services from the server and thus applications and desktop environments on the windows server will be available on all the thin client nodes with accessibility as per the user credentials. Thus client nodes need not carry any installation on it and can be diskless. 

• Solutions for License free /Linux Computing Environments  Our thin client solutions based on Linux computing environment is a very feasible solution for those who wish to eliminate all licensing costs and zero in on maintenance and administration. The Linux server distribution for this solution will be configured to give exactly windows like computing environment for the users including all applications e.g. Development environments, office applications, Internet browsers, file compatibilities with all Microsoft file types and much more. Refer to our website for more details about this particular solution. This reduces the learning curve making the migration process seamless. Most of the existing data from windows will be migrated or reused in the Linux environment hence archived data can be safely preserved and used. All nodes can print locally, can play audio files locally, can optionally have a local disk drive and CD-ROM drive, and thus function like a desktop PC.

• Solutions for Heterogeneous computing environments

What are the Hardware possibilities for the thin Clients?

• Any existing PC 486 and above can be reused as a thin client and local storage media can be eliminated unless needed.
• Organizations going for new hardware can go for the low end PC's in the market.
• We provide a very economical and slim hardware meant for thin client computing, having extraordinary computing features as compared to any desktop PC.
