Help setting up small office.

Hello,

I am in the process of setting up a small office with around 5 to 8 computers (1 server). Users will work on an application and save their files on either the local drives or centrally on the server.

Can someone please suggest/advice me on how to go about setting up this environment. I would like to know what hardware devices I would need apart from the computers as I don?t have much experience in networking.

Is virtualization a good option in this case as users will be using minimal local system resources? (I was thinking of using thin clients and configure VDI’s to work with leostream or something like that.)

Please help,
-Sacg.
