[Spice-devel] Thin client vendors supporting Spice

:-) I'm sure that Sun Ray 3 does not support SPICE. It has just some basic firmware which is launching their client.

(I have Sun Ray 2 at home)

Jacek, 



While this is not an out of the box thin client suggestion, if you wanted to have a customizable environment you could perhaps look at the Zotac Zbox which does do 2560x1600, has a DVI and HDMI port, and can mount on the back of a screen. I purchased a few of these without HDD and setup them to PXE boot a CentOS image which contains the SPICE client, and a script to automatically connected to the relevant VM. The setup is nothing special but it works, and we use SPICE to permanently display a Windows 7 VM at 2650x1600 (amongst others). 



Cheers, 



Scott

Dave and others, 

Thanks for info on SPICE support in thin client vendors. After some digging this is the status: 
IGEL has a thin client called UD5 which supports 2560x1600 and supports SPICE 
The same for Wyse, e.g. for the Z90S7 client. 

However, both of those do that through DisplayPort and not DVI. 

10Zig 6000 series clients appears to support Spice with max 1920x1080 resolution. 

Oracle is an interesting case. Their Sun Ray 3 client appears to support 2560x1600 through DVI. 
Does anybody know if it supports Spice? It appears to have a somewhat different software architecture 
(no Linux or Windows as OS, but their own Sun Ray client software). 

I would appreciate any help and will report back the results of this quest. 

As noted before we intend to do a hands-on eval of Spice on one of those clients next. This scan is 
meant to give us the right choice for the test. 

Cheers, 

Jacek

In addition to the vendors mentioned above, I'm also aware of 10Zig thin clients: http://www.10zig.com/news/press-releases/redhat.php David JackSko píše v Čt 05. 04. 2012 v 21:46 +0200: > Hi, > > We are looking to evaluate SPICE for a product design.
