Looking to implement an IT infrastructure
I am looking to implement a full IT infrastructure to small (20-30 employees) size business
the client is not willing to spend much, so I am looking at authentication, email services (probably hosted in a thirdparty, remote access, and web infrastructure (LAMP) to host the web site (client doesnt want to host it anywhere else). I was thinking of AD,some kind of AV, VDI and virtual infrastructure to host all the services. my question is which vendor offers decent prices for a small size business for the following:
VDI - citrix ? any other suggestions ?
Virtual - I was thinking of setting up 2 server setup for redunancy with a shared storage what product would you guys recommend for this ? vmware seems a lil expensive

If the client is not willing to spend much, what's the budget, because you are not going to get very far using VDI - Citrix?

Openfiler is slow.
I would recommend a ZFS based solution.
