Hello all,
I recently acquired some HPt510 thin clients and am going to set up a training classroom for the local boys and girls club. These are zero client machines and options for connection at startup are Citrix, rd7 and VMware. I run vm’s at the house all of the time in hyper-v and have played around with VMware but am by no means a professional. I believe that I have everything covered on in terms of getting hardware but need some assistance or recommendations on what to get based on # of users. By this I mean mean minimum recommendations on maximum # of stations and The reason I say that is the original build will be for the STEM training using 5 of the thinclients but the ultimate goal is to be able to expand it by turning old computers into thin clients.
Let’s say a maximum of 20 stations.
Server (don’t have server yet so used some of mine for starting reference
Hyper-v Win10
Dual e5-2690
S2600CP2J intel
128gb ram
4x3tb IronWolfSeagate hdd
LSI 9271-8i
Intel 1350 dual gb nic. Onboard.
Have tons of 1 & 2 gb video cards can use these for GPU passthu to clients
Stations - Recommendations on os would be appreciated. Thinking of using Ubuntu.
5 thin zero clients
10/100/1000 nic
Monitor
Keyboard
