I've wanted to do this for a while now. We are going to upgrade the engineering department computers and I wanted to post our plans and maybe see if anyone else had done this or wanted to.
Right now we have 12 work stations with cad/cam that engineering, programmers, and machinists use. Spread out over the shop in each department.
What I'm looking to do is install a large battery backup array for the server room and install two servers to basically run a bunch of virtual systems. Users can sign in on any of the thin clients anywhere in the shop and pickup where they left off essentially.
I'm trying to cut down on battery backup maintenance spread across the shop, foot traffic to the engineering department from the machine shop. I don't mind if engineers go to the floor but I need machinists near the machines.
We have run into issues where engineers will go back to help with a program fix/change and have to remote desktop to their system and it's laggy and not like you're sitting there at their computer.
Has anyone done anything like this?? Am I thinking a budget of $40,000 to be too cheap?
This will be a complete overhaul of the engineering computer setup. New monitors, keyboards, mice, the works. And not cheap crap either ..
