I have a small office with 4 users, as two or three of them choose to work from home I am thinking of creating a VM environment so they can use a client to access their office VM.

The idea is to use Vmware to host the 2016 server as a VM, and then each user also as a VM, now all they need to access their machine is to open some remote software like Radmin or Teamviewer to directly access their OfficePC VM. There will be nothing graphical as just standard graphics for accounting software.

I am looking to use a HP Z440 with 10 cores and 64GB RAM, and 4xSAS in RAID10, this way I can have this VM server machine in my home office which has a leased line (300/300)

Question is , can VMWare Pro do this ?  Is it safe enough for a live working environment, and finally, Is Windows the best platform or should I look at Ubuntu as the host ?

Thanks for any help on this.
