How we migrated to thin clients was also a fun project. First batch of users used a windows client on their pc. When we after some time commited to the solution we built a really tight linux os image with only the citrix client that we pxe booted the PC’s with. This allowed us a fallback in case of emegergency by simply rebooting a user. This was a fun project in and of itself! As we grew confident together with the users we started to phase in thin client instead of buying new PC’s - all in all we ended up with a really cost efficent and high performing setup. We started to move the central infra from “hyperconverged” to commodity 2u servers with local solid state disks which really made it easy and cheap for us to scale. It also made the whole service more reliable compared the integrated blade and storage solutions we were ushered in to at first.
