Now, chapter 7 covers in detail how to connect to remote VMs using the proprietary extensions, but there’s one feature that they conveniently failed to mention: the built-in VNC server. Chapter 7 of the VirtualBox manual covers running virtual machines on a remote host, either with VBoxManage command (which offeres similar functionality to the VirtualBox GUI) or the VBoxHeadless command, which appears to be the backend binary that VBoxManage calls out to to do the actual work. However, there is another way, at least when it comes to RDP support. You can either pay £34 per user or £670 per “socket” (which has quite a convoluted definition).
This is fine until you want to use the server in production: as the PUEL only covers you for personal use and evaluation, you must purchase licenses. The conventional wisdom when running a headless server with VirtualBox is that you need to install this proprietary extension pack from Oracle. However, there is one wrinkle when it comes to using it for server consolidation: the proprietary RDP/USB2 extension pack. VirtualBox is one of the easiest to use, most featureful programs available in this space and with the ability to run on many different OSes on hardware with or without VM extensions, it is also one of the most popular. The various competing virtualisation products have reached a level of maturity where they can be reliably used for server consolidation. These days, virtualisation is all the rage.
