Commercial Solutions Using VirtualGL
VirtualGL and TurboVNC were core components of the Sun Visualization System product from Sun Microsystems, which was discontinued in April 2009. The two open source packages were combined with a closed source plugin that allowed VirtualGL to send compressed images to Sun Ray thin clients and another closed source package that integrated VirtualGL with Sun Grid Engine, providing resource management and scheduling for remote 3D jobs. The combination of these packages, dubbed "Sun Shared Visualization", was available as a free download (Sun charged for support.)
v2.1 of the Scalable Visualization Array software from HP also includes components that integrate with VirtualGL and TurboVNC, allowing 3D jobs to be scheduled on and remotely displayed from a visualization cluster.
v3.0.0 of ThinLinc is designed to work in conjunction with VirtualGL.
v2010 of EnginFrame Views supports VirtualGL as one of the remote protocol options.
The Exceed onDemand and Exceed Freedom products from OpenText use code from VirtualGL to implement server side rendering.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or solutions:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
