[one-users] OpenNebula and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

[Carlo Daffara]

Dear Evgeniy,
we used ON for several small scale VDI installations. For smaller ones we used KVM and Spice as access protocol, with a lightweight linux desktop that boots from USB customized to connect directly the user after login ( http://www.everydesk.org/ ). It's just a matter of using spicy (the gtk spice client) that provides USB redirection support as well.
For slightly larger installations we use a separate VM called Ulteo ( http://www.ulteo.com/home/ ) that works quite similarly to Citrix, ie. it provides a "virtual desktop" managed by the administrator, that connects additional sources like Terminal Services or X11 applications; opening the VDI web page starts an applet that provides the desktop to the end user.
For those offices where you need only to access a windows desktop or a windows server session, we created a small appliance based on Guacamole ( http://guac-dev.org/ ) that is a very efficient and fast HTML5 redirector for RDP session. You configure it for your users (which session, properties, authentication and so on) and you connect directly through the web page with no client.
There is no single way to do it- it is more a matter of finding the best approach given the available tools.
cheers,
carlo daffara
