I work for an organization that has 250 Windows XP fat clients spread out across 36 locations. I'd certainly love to get rid of those. But I'd like some recommendations on what's doable. Our users don't need much...just access to an Office Suite and a few web sites. We are making a radical change to our main application and most of our users will now access that through point of care devices such as tablets.
Here are my thoughts so far: 1) Deploy a LTSP server to each office. I've experimented with LTSP and have a good working proof of concept. While it's great to get rid of support 250 workstations I really don't want to support 36 LTSP servers. Not to mention the authentication headache. 2) Deploy a LTSP clustered server: https://www.ltsp-cluster.org/. Could I have thin clients connect back to a LTSP cluster in a hosting facility over a MPLS network? I'm pretty reluctant to even attempt something like this. 3) Deploy thin clients that have a NX client stored on them. This is really what I'd like to do. I'd like to put very simple thin clients out in the field that have just a configured NX client stored on them. Can anybody recommend something like this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
