Hotdesk seem a good idea until you have people that has to take kids to school, or you have someone that has a meeting with a customer at 9am and has to come later to the office to discover (s)he cannot sit anywhere. Don't fall in the trap of voip phone systems that don't allow you to be logged in two places at once (usually for licensing reasons): someday you (or your colleages) will be hunting for the voip phone that someone forgot to logout. For remote desktop, etc. This is a very mature technology: try to pick the tech that better blends with all the other tech stach at home. Citrix, for instance works great but it ecosystem is not trivial the best part is they even have an integrated VPN (Netscaler) you can use. On the hardware side, take a look at HP Moonshot servers. I bet there are equivalents our there from other brands, but those are worth seeing: 4.3U servers that can house 50+ physical desktops with own storage.
