Oh, I forgot to say we mainly use Linux as desktops, so no need to
golden image as linux is multi-user, so I need only to upgrade one
VM. We have some windows server with terminal services and with some
windows-only software on them, but as said, VDI infrastructure relys
on linux desktops ;)<br>
<br>
Anyway, you can have windows VM and access through a thinclient
booting x2go (or other lightweight linux distro bootable via PXE)
and access your windows VDI throught rdesktop instead of x2go
client, I've just tried the same youtube video both in windows and
in linux and while in linux trought x2go protocol the video seems
smoother while not in full screen, seems that rdesktop protocol in
windows handles full screen videos a bit better... anyway, in a
enterprise environment, where watching videos is sporadical and they
can be seen perfectly in a windowed size, all virtual environments,
from KVM to commercial, offers a pretty but limited performance.<br>
<br>
As you can see, my approach is different from yours: instead to have
one VM for each users (even each VM is a linked clone from a
template) I have one VM for many users, one linux and one windows.
In linux is free and in windows I must use TS licenses (well, if
you're legal, you should use them also in windows clones).<br>
<br>
The benefeits in having several users on the same VM is shared
memory, resources from the VM are shared amongst the users, but in
echange having a machine-user ratio of 1:1 you can isolate the
processes, in both approaches, you only must maintain only one VM.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi there!
I have set up proxmox as VDI infrastructure for a while and it works
great. While the experience is quite good on enterprise environments, is
true that online videos are too expensive in network terms.
What I'm using to connect to the VDIs is x2go TCE
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install">http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install</a>), is based on
nx and it's jpeg compression or whatever it uses reduces it's bandwidth
to a level you can connect even through a DSL connection from home.
Highly recommended to test it out. Online videos, far from perfect, are
pretty less laggy than on spice.

Very interesting, thanks! I'd like to know how you set up the VDI -
simply as a single-instance installation? Or do you have some kind of
setup with a cloned golden image or the like?
Btw.: Why not use the simple Remote Desktop, which is already integrated
in Windows? Is the latest RDP protocol not already highly optimized,
especially for video and the like?
Best Regards,
Hermann
