Thanks to all of you guys for your answers, well we already thought in a stand alone solution, vmware could be a very good > option, but the application use a dongle in a USB memory and it is located at the server and the proccess to synchronize > the stand alone application is very difficult, furthermore it is a third party application, so we ruled out that option, in the other hand the application is not Web at all, it coul be implemented with some funtions but is not the interest of the >enterpriese and the only one solution we saw is the use of Terminal Server.
Hi Fernando, nowadays there is a lot of VPN-SSL platforms that offer Terminal Servers sessions through Java Applets. So you have the security provided by an VPN-SSL access (clients have no direct access to Terminal Server) and the functionalities of TS sesions. I've tested Juniper's SA and they can do what I've told you [1]. Besides Fortigate UTM firewalls have VPN-SSL capabilities with TS support over Java Applets [2]. If you prefer open source options I've heard about some of them but I have no direct experience with any.
