Lightest weight VDI OS for work from home : 5,000 users?

Hi All,

What are the suggestions for the Wuhan Coronavirus VDI pools?

I need a suggestion on the lightest weight VDI OS for our users, is that Windows 10, windows 10s windows 10 enterprise, windows 7?

If all my apps work on Firefox is there a version that I should be using ESR, 32 bit, 64 bit?

Thanks,

Joe

Win7 is for sure the lightest system needs/resources.  If you you have RDS license, then maybe a shared desktop would be better.  So RDS hosts with X number of users working from it.  The Apps and workload would tell you the size of the RDSH host.

Hi,

Windows 7 with a full optimization using VMware OSOT would be a better option for lightweight PC.
