Hi,<div><br></div><div>With OpenNebula you, as an administrator, can configure a list of VMs and make them available to your users, that will be able to start and shutdown them on demand. Take a look at the Self Service interface screencast [1] to get an idea of how your users would interact with OpenNebula. In you scenario, your end-users would only need to use the Compute tab.</div>
<div><br></div><div>After the VM is deployed, they will connect their VNC client (or other remote desktop protocol client) to the VM's IP.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://opennebula.org/documentation:screencasts">http://opennebula.org/documentation:screencasts</a><br clear="all">

Hello,<br>
<br>
I´m new to virtualization and opennebula. Actual I'm planning to virtualize some software systems in our company.<br>
The goal is, to provide some programs to client computers in office. Accordingly when a user asks for a program, opennebula should instance an os-template with the program installed and the user can work with it. When work is done, the instance should be shutdown and the instance be deleted.<br>
Other option would be, that opennebula provides the programs to the users dynamically in instances depended on the count of users who need it at the moment.<br>
A scenario would be: A user connects to opennebula server by vnc, then opennebula automatically make an instance and the vnc connection to the instance is established. After closing the connection or shutdown of the virtual os the instance should be deleted.<br>
The programs I want to provide are no server programs. So they are running when a user needs them, then they should stop for saving resources.<br>
<br>
Is this possible to do with opennebula or is there another possibility?<br>
<br>
Opennebula would run on a Debian-host with Windows or Mac guests. I guess this is possible with Xen Hypervisor.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to you answer.<br>
Greetings from Germany.<br>
