Thin client server side software. What have you experienced and what worked? Main software used is a web browser. But some require office.

    We had this solution in a company i worked, and yeah we only got problems with these. The concept is pretty cool but it just isn‘t comparable to a real computer so if you have the decision to change, i would recommend it to you.

    @lknk do you know what they ran on the server side to make it work? I was considering enabling multi remote desktop login into a single computer but I know it would only scale so far.

    I wasn‘t responsible for the server side part but as far as i know we used some VMWare server (don’t know the proper name but something with ESX) and then every client got there own VM in which they could login if required.

    @lknk okay. We're you able to move from one computer to another easily? Or would you have to change some setting before you could loggin?

    But your solution might work if there is a small amount of users, but i worked in a big company so that solution might be a bit overhead for you. As we had to make sure every user is able to login 24/7.
    You could login where you wanted, as long as you got the right user/password it wasn’t depending on the device.

    @lknk at most it would be 20 at one time. But a 24/7 up time. But up to 70 profiles.

    @icycrash Might be a bit to many users for one server. Also depends on the work amount per user. But maybe using a automatically scaling system on AWS or something?

    @lknk So y'all used something like a domain login. I was thinking 64 threads and 128gb of ram might handle up to 20 people using some web apps.

    @icycrash Yeah that sounds realistic, but i would try to create a poc first and then evaluate if it‘s enough or not. And yeah we used a domain login.

    @lknk I will and thank you so much for the help I've been researching this for months.
