WAH (work at home woes)
Poor internet quality. - that will stop many people form working.
Everything else abotu that blurb was a terrible line that was fed to them from Social media experts via IT, and you could tell they did not want to read it. I'm sorry SE made you read that.
That said, technologies like Splash desktop business and Parsec exist on a robust corporate level. They should be explored as a run-in period until you can develop your own hardware/software solution for time being. If anything its about the Devs quality of life for what us die hards enjoy.
I myself have built a redundant server setup for 30 people to use 3D style CAD and later adapted it for 3D studio max use from server style environment. Normally, I'd keep silent and go on,but I was delivering real time 3D environments in excess of 60 fps to 1080p to 30 users and the only requirement was a strong internet connection consuming 80 mbit/sec down. Yes this put a massive strain on a very robust vpn setup per user, but we were able to provide that despite being a small company in the middle of nowhere in America back in 2010-2011.
Believe it or not, I hate to say this, but I've spent more on a car today than that server hardware cost to build and maintain. At some point your IT team needs to step up the game. I'm Sure SE is overloaded with everyone working at home, but this is when you spend on developing infrastructure, especially when the world sees no prefect answer in excess of 18 months, then things need to change and solutions need to be found. ( I know SE is an Agile/Scrum style company.) If I could do it for 30 3D Studio artist/CAD engineers in 2010 to 2011 for under $80k US, I'm sure it can be d one cheaper now if something like Parsec or Splash desktop business isn't an OK short term temp work around. I was able to build that in less than 30 days back then... I'm sorry they made you read those lines. Nothing better than plugging my phone in the tv, and working full res on my 4k TV while I connect to the office in these troubled times.
