Here's a video from Citrix Synergy that showcases using the SPICE client to connect (over a poor conference network connection) to a virtual desktop running at their home office - Citrix Synergy 2011: Video demo from Virtual Bridges - Videos - BrianMadden.com Here's the link to their Teacher's Pet program - We Can Help » Virtual Bridges VDI, VDI Gen2, Virtual Desktops, VDI, VERDE VDI

Have you considered some of the other options out there? We're a school of about 700 users and have been migrating to district-wide VDI. We can currently support up to 550 concurrent sessions with our 4 server cluster. We chose Virtual Bridges and their Gen2 VDI solution, VERDE. It was extremely easy to setup and easy to manage/maintain. The solution provides a single management interface for connected, disconnected, and remote branch use cases. It runs on our base Ubuntu servers, so keeping it up to date has been simple. The client connection uses SPICE, RDP, or NX, depending on your need. SPICE is pretty awesome. Dalian Neusoft Institute of Information is moving forward with Virtual Bridges to manage 30,000+ virtual desktops. We were the case study for K-12 institutions and I've been thoroughly impressed with both the product and the company. There's a Teacher's Pet program running until the end of the month that gives K-12 organizations 50 free licenses where you just cover the cost of annual maintenance, plus a 50% discount on additional licenses for a set amount of time. Let me know if you'd like additional information. Cheers!
