Hi Wpcr, welcome to Boards and Servers & Systems.

This forum is really for people to help eachother out and get information. A lot of the guys here are professionals but if you are looking for professional advice on setting up the IT infastructure of your business you should really pay a professional. I know a lot of people don't like to work for free.

I'll leave the thread open for a while to see if someone does want to help you out with ideas but i'm not really comfortable with the forum going in the direction of an IT consultancy. If you need anything or have a query about the forum just drop me a PM and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Enjoy Boards.

Sounds like overkill to me. VMware View is more for enterprise use.
