[opensuse] A desktop machine selector, one for the weekend :-)
Dear list and listmates :-) - this just came up... - what if one has a LARGE number of openSuSE11.n virtualized desktop machines, we're talking thousands... - all in a clusted vmware environment, the machines are/will be created more or less on the fly. Some vmware professionals take care of this. Problem: Each user has his own virtualized desktop machine. So; when 'Peter' logs in, through some mechanism he needs to be directed/given access to his very own virtual machine. He will access the desktop of the machine using XDCMP or (better) FreeNX. It's not a load balancer we're looking for here, but rather a 'selector'. Any ideas? Anyhow, thank you in advance for any comments and thoughts! Best regards, Verner Kjærsgaard Denmark.

I believe what you are looking for is something like VMware's View; this product is specifically tailored to virtualized desktops.

Hi Verner The term is "connection broker" and such a function is included with VMware's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, which is now called VMware View as Steven said. I'm sure Citrix and Microsoft similar products. I am not sure if there is anything comparable in the foss world.
