Subject: [ukha_d] Small Office Setup - No Servers, Browser Based - Not HA
sorry!
=20
Hi all,=20
We have an interesting challenge at work that I think someone on here may
b=
e
able to assist me with! Sorry for the lack of HA within this!
We have a new office of around 20 people that will be accessing
application=
s
exclusively online. This will comprise Office 365 suite products and 2
applications both provisioned over citrix from different providers.
For various reasons we're seeking the lightest support overhead possible
with zero servers if at all possible.
My idea is to get a browser based thin client (with a browser that can be
updated) that has a home page of the Office 365 portal login page for the
organisation. This would open a sharepoint online page with shortcuts to
the two applications (both have their own authentication).
We have no need of 'operating systems' and are happy with the cloud
application approach.
Questions:
1 - What device do I use for the desktop clients? Something robust along
the lines of a Wyse thin client i'm thinking.
2 - How do I manage printers? probably around 6 that would need to be
network connected.
Suggestions and ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks all
Noel
