The Sun Ray 3i: A Modern Thin Client
Oracle released the Sun Ray 3i as an all-in-one thin client, following earlier models like the Sun Ray 170. The unit housed its computing hardware directly inside a 21.5-inch widescreen LCD monitor with a 1920×1080 resolution, an increase over the 17-inch, 1280×1024 displays used on prior integrated versions.
The computer was powered by a 660 MHz RMI Alchemy Au1380 processor paired with 256 MB of DDR2 memory. Built-in interfaces included Gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and audio jacks. An integrated smart card reader supported hot-desking, allowing users to access their active sessions across different terminals.
The terminal functioned within the Sun Ray (later Oracle) Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. It did not run a local desktop operating system, instead relying on central servers running Sun Ray Server Software to manage and deliver user sessions. Amid competition from other thin-client and virtual desktop products, Oracle eventually discontinued the 3i and the broader Sun Ray product line.
