Hello we are working on a solution to deploy virtual desktops (and servers too) using cloudstack and a front end portal developed in python by our team. We have customized the kvm agent to support spice. In future we want also support rdp and other protocols like x2go. The solution will be available with open source license in spring 2015.
We will make a point of keeping you up to date Regards > _________________________________________________________________________ > > > Il 10 dicembre 2014 alle 19.04 Ignazio Cassano < ignaziocass...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > > > > > > Hi, if you do not want to modify acs to add spice support you could use > > ovirt : it is not a desktop as a service platform but it let you to add > > some user permissions and it supports spice. > > Regards > > > > Ignazio > > Il giorno 10/dic/2014 17:29, "Nux!" <n...@li.nux.ro> ha scritto: > > > > > Until ACS supports Spice, if ever, I think you're better off with "on-VM" > > > softare such RDP for Windows and X2GO/NX for Linux. > > > > > > HTH > > > Lucian > > > > > > -- > > > Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! > > > > > > Nux! > > > www.nux.ro > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > From: "Tilak Raj Singh" <tila...@gmail.com> > > > > To: users@cloudstack.apache.org > > > > Sent: Tuesday, 9 December, 2014 19:37:55 > > > > Subject: Re: Desktop as a service > > > > > > > Hello John, > > > > > > > > Thanks for your reply.
