The three thin-client labs on campus reduces energy costs. They are located in ITC001, ITC310 and WUC.
Green is good, and ultra-low power consumption is really good
The typical power consumption of a Sun Ray 2 client is an astonishing 4 watts. Compare this to PCs, which operate on 80 watts or more. Even most other thin clients suck down 20 watts or more. By installing a thousand desktops with Sun Ray clients instead of PCs, you go from 80kW to 4kW in the green savings direction. A quick look at your hourly cost per kilowatt (kWh) can give you an idea of just how much Sun Ray clients can save you over PCs.
Run silent, run cheap
At just 4 watts of typical power consumption, the Sun Ray 2 client doesn't produce as much heat or require the noisy fan of a PC. It's silent. And, it runs cooler, which improves reliability.
