Homeland Security Tech Expo
SIS Technologies, one of Sun Microsystems' iForce Partners, demonstrated

Ray technology at the Dallas-Fort Worth Homeland Security Alliance Technology
Solutions Expo. Sun Ray, a Sun Microsystems product, features ultra-thin
client technology that helps provide secure access to applications running on
multiple platforms, including the Solaris Operating System, Java technology,
other UNIX technology based platforms, Windows and mainframe environments.
The Expo was held Oct. 22, 2003 at the Eisemann Center in Richardson,
Texas.
SIS planned to present several Sun Microsystems technology solutions featuring
Java Card technology, Trusted Solaris, disaster recovery and management
solutions and an auto ID demonstration of security within an enterprise.
"With the advent of widespread computer attacks and viruses, the Sun Ray
technology allows us to demonstrate the secure and flexible nature of this
technology," said John Reed, COO of SIS Technologies. "In today's environment,
we are acutely aware of the need for reliable security solutions. At SIS, we
use this technology as a flexible tool that allows us to securely access
information throughout our regional offices."
Keynote speakers were U.S. congressmen Jeb Hensarling, (R-TX) and Pete
Sessions, (R-TX).
Participants of the expo included those with particular interests or
investments in Homeland Security initiatives, such as government and city
officials, military officers/consultants, corporate/industry managers,
technology buyers/sellers and entrepreneurs.
