Infrastructure for Client-Based Desktop virtualisation

The iCBD (Infrastructure for Client-Based Desktop virtualization) project aims to research and develop an architecture to support desktop virtualization focused on the desktop itself as the executing platform; this approach contrasts with the widely used VDI implementations, that use servers in computing farm as the executing platform, while the desktop itself is used only as a display device.
The iCBD aims, however, to keep the well known server-based VDI centralised ease-of-administration, while offering both Unix (Linux) and Windows flavours that are instantiations, on the “local” desktops, of VM templates stored in VM pools.
