Hello all,
New to these forums though I've always referred to Tom's for making IT decisions. I wanted to say that I did my due diligence before posting and searched for what I wanted however the specifics alone provided very minimal results. So here I come humbeled to these forums asking the help of the community with the following.
Background:
-15 years IT networking experience
Current system:
Synology Nas 10TB, email, web hosting, domain services, 10 camera security system, VPN access, file/printer, media, photo, PC/device backup services.
Situation:
Sister built a house and wanted me to provide the technology/security portion. IP cameras and a NAS is nothing. I was thinking though, I wanted to upgrade and install a server that would provide all of the above + PC virtualization. I essentially want to host a server where all devices, laptops and such would utilize a Citrix like thin client connection to a server hosted desktop.
Essentially all devices (PC's, smart mirrors, tablets) would have a login to the users desktop hosted on the server. Centralized, easy to admin/patch while being connected via VPN to my other locations.
Now I have enough experience within IT to perform this from research, I am just curious if anyone has thought about or tried this before. It would essentially be a conglomerate of projects from the web. I am just curious if anyone else has performed similar projects.
