Run Windows Apps on Linux using 2X ApplicationServer
I recently read an article describing how to run Windows apps on Linux using 2X ApplicationServer with Windows running as a virtual machine (VM) on the local system. It's a really cool sounding idea and overcomes some of the compatibility problems of Wine, but always having a Windows VM active consumes a lot of resources and may not always be the best solution. If you are running in a networked environment, and have an available computer running Windows, a better solution may be running the applications directly from that one system.
This solution is particularly effective when multiple Linux clients need occasional access to Windows apps or for doing high compute or I/O intensive tasks.
While this approach has a lot of advantages, there are many interesting usage cases and not all of them fit. Let's take a look at the tradeoffs.
