hi

I'd like to know how is RHEL SPICE protocol comparing to Vmware View Desktop across the low WAN?

Care to Qualify "low wan" speeds?

I think at a minimum, SPICE RDP should work fairly well over at least a sustained 512KB/s wan link.

On a LAN however , SPICE Desktops seems to smoke vMware View by a mile. Ditto with Window's new RemoteFX.

I can even do HD Apps like Flash-HD, Native HTML 5 video in HD over a Spice Desktop on LAN.

Your backend needs a bit of CPU oomph though on a Spice Desktop Infrastructure.

We have 2Mbps WAN with 40-60ms latency.

Then that IMHO will be more than enough - unless you're clients wil always be doing Hi-Def desktop "activity" ;^)

But do peruse bandwidth/infrastructure planning guides for RHEL SPice and vMware View sir to be sure.
