Sun Rays: Not Just Thin Clients...Ultra-Thin Clients!

When you log in to a Sun Ray using a smartcard, you are creating what’s called a ‘session’ on the Sun Ray server. All of the ‘computing’ you do on a Sun Ray actually takes place inside your session on the server: No data is ever stored on the Sun Ray terminal itself. The terminal exists just to send your keystrokes and mouse movements to the server, and to display the screen updates and produce the sounds that the server sends back.

HotDesking: A Feature Unique to Sun Rays!

Because the server knows which smartcard is associated with your session, you can virtually take your ‘computer’ anywhere on your Sun Ray network, simply by moving your card from one terminal to another. In other words, when you leave one Sun Ray terminal, insert your card in another, and type your password, the screen will come up looking just the way you left it last!

DoxBox makes computing…

...Safe

Because no data resides on the Sun Ray terminals, you can be certain that all of your mission-critical files are safely stored on the server where you can get to them readily, rather than being squirreled away on the hard drives of the computers of individual staff. And because DoX Systems will provide you with a daily backup solution with your DoxBox system, you can also rest easy knowing that those same files are recoverable should disaster strike.

...Secure

The Sun Ray system has a built-in two factor authentication system (meaning you have to have a username and password and a physical device, such as a smart card, to access the system). This is not only highly effective at preventing unauthorized use of your computer network, it also makes your system HIPAA compliant.

...Reliable

You don’t have to worry about spilling coffee on your Sun Ray or accidentally kicking out its power cord -- Thanks to HotDesking technology, your session (and any documents you were working on) will be safe, and can be easily accessed from another Sun Ray terminal. Plus, Sun Rays have no moving parts to break, which makes the terminals very durable.

...Supported

DoX Systems provides round-the-clock support, remote and in person, for your DoxBox solution. If you ever encounter a problem, or have a question or concern, simply call our technical support line any time day or night, and we’ll get your issues addressed promptly and professionally.

...Easy

The Sun Ray’s unique HotDesking technology makes it easy for you to access your session anywhere in your office, giving you the freedom to do your work where it’s most convenient for you.

...Economical

Because Sun Rays have no moving parts or local storage, they are much more cost-effective when compared to traditional PCs. And DoX Systems will provide your Sun Ray server with the software you need to do business, including an office productivity suite, email and calendar software, PDF viewer, and Web browser, at no additional cost.

...Energy-Efficient

The current generation of Sun Rays use 4 watts of power, which is (conservatively speaking) one-twentieth of the power consumed by the typical workstation PC. Not only will switching to Sun Rays save on your electric bills, you’ll also help preserve the environment by reducing the production of greenhouse gasses at your electricity provider’s power generation facilities.
