alternatives
Hi,
This mostly depends on type of applications users are running today. Here is what I have found for common Windows deskop with some free tools like Adobe Reader, bulzip, Chrome and other free stuff + Microsoft Office or OpenOfffice/LibreOffice of Softmaker Office.
I have done great deal of research here and findings for SMB sector in Estern Europe are like this:
- VDI licence from Microsft @ 100$ would add $3000 per year
- Kaviza (Citrix VDI-in-the-Box) is something They can use
- Parallels Containers for Windows
- Graphon GoGlobal
And you convert all your PC in to thin clients with http://www.stratodesk.at/products/repurpose-your-pcs
However, in order to give you solution, you need to post what apps are you running and what changes are you willling to make (changes like dumping MS Office in favor or some other office packages).
To run this, you need only 4c server with some ram.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
