Hi,
Have you looked at Teradici PCoIP? They have a hardware solution based on a PCIe card in
the host
machine, and a PCoIP thin client. The performance is stunning. You don't even notice
that you're
connected to a thin client. I'm using this on a daily basis myself.
To get a broker you can use Leostream's Connection Broker which supports Teradici
PCoIP both for
Windows and Linux.
You will be needing the thin client when connecting. I don't think you can use a
software client
to connect to the physical machines. You can ask Leostream about this.
See the following youtube video for more info:

This solution is for physical machines, not virtual machines.
Regards,
Siggi

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I have a set of users (about 50) who have Linux workstations at their
desks. These users have root access to these workstations, and these workstations are
frequently
host VMs or are used for hardware driver development and support. These users have access
to a
pool of managed Windows 7 VMs (for MS Office applications) in oVirt, so they are
already using the oVirt user portal. I would like to give these users remote access to
their
workstations (from thin clients in conference rooms, from home, from corporate laptops on
the
road, etc) using the same User Portal that they already use for the Windows VMs.
VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop support providing users access to a
mixed set of managed-virtual-machine or unmanaged-physical-or-virtual-machine through a
single
broker, but neither of them support access to Linux desktops.
