Hi everyone,

I am loving the idea of Proxmox. I have had great success with any vm's that I have tried to create and they work great using the built in console vnc. My question is, is there anyone on here that has deployed proxmox in any enterprise? If you have, how are you connecting your end users to the vm's? Is audio working? What about local usb devices at the client (keyboards,mouse,scanners)? I am really at a loss as to how to build the client side of things. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi arkestler,

I wouldn't recommend Proxmox VE for a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure).

And end users don't need physical access (audio, local usb..) to the server infrastructure.

So then what is the point of Proxmox?

Hi arkestler,

from: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page
"Proxmox Virtual Environment is an easy to use Open Source virtualization platform for running Virtual Appliances and Virtual Machines."

You can ran your virtual servers on Proxmox VE.

Hi macday,
can you provide more info about this? What is guest-OS? How much memory? How does it behave? What says atop? Give us the full story!

Hi Holgi,
I have 3-10 virtual Windows XP SP3 Machines with each 1500MB ram. also on this host I have a Debian Squeeze VM with 1GB ram and openthinclientos. I didn´t check the host (dell t300 quad core, raid 10) with atop yet.
3 VM´s are running always. Till now it feels good. I´ll provide the atop output later.
Regards
macday

Do you have any notes on the implementation of openthinclient with proxmox XP machines?
