Capabilities of VMWare - Possible large scale migration - 1000 desktops

Asked by trinak96 in VMware

Tags: VMWare, Virtual Desktop

Hello All,
 To start with I have little experience of VMWare and it's products, so some of the questions below mat seem basic but it's what i can think of at the moment for initial thoughts.
 I have been tasked with creating a solution for our geographically distributed offices to use thin-client technology for application access.
 Background : we are in the process of merging companies & consolidating remote locations, one company has an existing Citrix environment, the other is fat-client. Both work well for each company but going forward there will be a single suite of applications.
There are a number of applications in use, such as, MS Office/Outlook, various in-house web based systems and locally installed applications.
 Currenlty there is a combined asset base of approx 1000 client devices from Pc's to Wyse terminals, although this is likely to reduce in the future as consolidation proceeds.

Questions :
 When activating the virtual desktop is user profile linked to AD or VM specific ?
 Can different users get different desktops depending on AD login or VM login ?
 Can VDesktop automatically create user specific mapped drives to various other servers ?
 Can Vdesktop access applications alreeady installed on exisiting Citrix farm ?
 Remote printing : configured in AD or VM per user ?
 Bandwith utilisation per client ?
 Suggested hardware/OS for server farm to support 1000 clients ?
