We are a school based in a remote village in India. We already have one server and 10 systems running in our school network. The IT systems are used only by our staff members now. We would like to extend the facilities to our students. We are planning to add 40 computers to our computer lab.
I am not a Tech guy. We would also like to keep our finances as low as possible.
Should I go for thin clients with Windows server 2012 VDI or just purchase the normal desktop systems. The highest possible scenario would be 40 students accessing the workstations at the same time. If I am going for VDI, what server specifications should I purchase? Also should I be running 40 instances virtual machines in the VDI for the students. Is there any other better options available for this kind of scenario?
