    Well if you want to do a setup for that local office on the cheap one approach I would recommend is this. Those computers could die at any time and lose their data, they also perform terribly slow. I would keep your user end hardware and migrate them to a virtual desktop environment. Using Citrix, Hyper-V, and\or VMware is really expensive for licensing allow. I'd go this route.

    I would back up everybody's computer to the server. I would then setup each users old pc backup as a virtual desktop from the server, and have them access the system by logging in remotely from their old computers. I would then make sure to keep that server safely backed up. This should accelerate day to day performance by a large margin, and allow for easily switching out desktops to cheap thin clients as they fail.

    What this conversation has become now is infrastructure choice. You need to decide if you want to
    A. Buy hardware\software upfront and mitigate long term cost
    B. Migrate to a monthly pay cloud based environment with Azure\amazon, office365\google docs 
    C. A hybrid of onsite servers with subscription based services  
     
    They each have their pros and cons. I think this is where you need to start.

    I'm unsure how your company has worked at all without any IT knowledge in the first place. Your current environment seems way more complex than it needs to be. 
    You could, in spirit of Office365 and Cloud, look into Azure AD instead. From what I've heard, it's pretty neat.

    Jrhumphrey89 got a reaction from mech in Requesting GPU Reviews!!! 128 gamers 1 PC?!?!   
    I would like to request that LTT please do a review of nvidia M10, M6, and M60 graphics cards and show what they are all about. Maybe something like using 4 M60 cards to do 128 gamers 1 PC? Then to test it you can have fans of LTT run a remote desktop and game on it with you live in twitch during Wan show? Everyone run a benchmark together and put their results in some google doc???
     
    I loved when Linus did the Multiple people on one pc video. Now I might be in the minority here, but I love getting reviews of high end enterprise hardware, cause honestly that's where the big money and performance is. I was really hoping after Linus started down the path of multi gamers 1 cpu that we would get into a lot of virtualization and server gpus, but it never happened. I am super curious about the scaling of how many people you can have running off of a single system using new enterprise software\gpus and what the experience is like.
     
    Just something I would like to see. Like the post if you agree.

    Jrhumphrey89 reacted to Mira Yurizaki in Requesting GPU Reviews!!! 128 gamers 1 PC?!?!   
    I think the difference here is if a company gives Linus hardware, it's because they're sponsoring a project for basically free advertising of their product. i.e., A company will give Linus something in hopes a consumer will buy it. Even if the consumer doesn't intend to use it in the way Linus does, it's still advertising. So getting a bunch of high-end Xeons and Teslas together doesn't make sense to me for a company to sponsor because Linus's target audience aren't those whom said parts are marketed for.
     
    The only evidence to support this theory is the curious lack of professional grade hardware in their setups. But that could also just be due to them not really having reliability issues using consumer grade hardware.

    Through the power of the inter web. This are not meant to be plugged into the back of PCs and monitors, they don't even have video output!!! You connect to a virtual session that runs the vm. This is exactly how nvidia does their shield game streaming.

    While I appreciate the probable "For Science!" shpiel, I think the biggest stumbling block is I don't even think Linus can just ask NVIDIA for a bunch of high-end compute cards. Especially ones they don't really sell to consumers.

    you know how linus one time was like it is actually 2 cpus well it actually is 12 cpus in 3 separate mobos or one of those AMD super computer that each cpu can handle 1 terabyte of ram also linus will finally have 100 percent ram using on a 128 gig kit lol

    Yea for sure I get what you mean. I am currently trying to verify access as the Google My business admin. I am also pretty certain that the site got hacked and I am dealing with cleaning that up. One thing is my word press needs to be updated but I am worried about repercussions of updating it :/...

    Why this happened it a bit of a weird thing because Google normally checks the names before listing, this could be a mistake on Google's part so make sure to keep calm and check with them if some error was made on their part.
     
    Recently a program called CCleaner got hack on the server side and it is stated that it is bigger than just CCleaner, among the other companies that got hit was Google an MSI, just this week google erased some data because some of my settings got reset to a previous date, maybe this is causing your problem, you never really know.
     
    I hope you get what i am saying,, let them resolve or try to resolve the problem before you go through the hassle of renaming your company.

    Have you ever looked for Google My Business?....that is where you should go and not regular support. The newer thing would be regarding website traffic and search engine searches, the more searches the more popular your listing will become, another thing, adding say like a LLC or &Sons to your name will then change the search results in a search engine but wait until you get in contact with Google.

    Nobody can know what will come out a year from now.  I wouldn't exactly say you're safe from a situation where a single card system wouldn't be enough because I remember the crysis days :D
    Personally, I like to leave as much room to upgrade as possible(current build does not reflect this).  I don't want to replace an entire pc every couple years because, frankly, I can't afford it.  I generally try to get a motherboard with more ram slots than I'm initially going to fill, pci-e to at least support the addition of at least one extra video card, and a case that will hold it all.
