All inter-machine communication in Crucible is done through a networked file system. I use NFS for this, which isn't very well suited for handling remote test machines. Thus, it'd be easiest if a machine could just be plunked down in the OSDL network. However, since the machines are just communicating via a file system, in theory anything allowing network file sharing should do. RDP and VNC are probably overkill for this; WebDAV ought to be sufficient. The main consideration is security. While we keep the test systems outside our company firewall, I'd prefer to ensure access is limited to machines I specifically know about.
