sunI just got official word from Sun on the state of the Sun Visualization System that we recently  noticed was “missing in action”.

Sun announced in April the End-of-Life (EOL) of the Sun Shared Visualization and Sun Scalable Visualization software products. Customers will be able to order the products through July 31, 2009. Sun intends to provide service and support until Oct. 2, 2014.

Apparently there was a bit of a failure on getting the word out on that one.  It probably got lost or drowned in the flood of information about the Oracle acquisition.

    Howdy. Just wanted to let everyone know that the core technology behind Sun Shared Visualization, namely VirtualGL, is very much alive and well. I brought VirtualGL to Sun in 2004, and Sun sponsored my work on the project throughout the life of the Shared Visualization product. Since being laid off in January, I have been supporting VirtualGL as an independent contractor. I am actively seeking funded development and consulting opportunities for this technology. Contact info is on the web site.
