Please critique the following "budget" VDI Server purchase. I know there is no "correct" hardware, but also want to hear what others think.
USE: Approximately 50 workstations via Microsoft RDS that will run Microsoft Office (Most will not use Outlook, but rather webmail). All will have Adobe Reader, but not licensed Adobe products. These will be shared computers, generally not used by full time staff personnel but part time helpers so the login/logoff storm will be more random. SERVER: Dell PowerEdge R720 CPU: Dual Xeon E5-2680 (8 Core) Memory: 192 GB (12x16GB @ 1600 RDIMS RAID 10 (H710 PERC) HDD: 16 300GB 10K 2.5" NIC: BCOM 5720 Daughter Card OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Microsoft Hyper V Remote Desktop Services (We may wait for Server 2012 R2 for the deduplication on the HyperV guests.) This will be our first step into VDI, so any advance thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you in Advance!
