 While remote desktop solutions present a whole desktop environment (on JURECA we run XFCE) in a single window on the user´s workstation, remote window solutions make applications running on JURECA appear on the local desktop as normal windows managed by the local window manager.

+The full-blown and one-click solution for remote visualization providing a remote desktop on frontend nodes and compute nodes is provided using '''Virtual Network Computing (VNC)''' over the login tool '''Strudel'''.
 We recomment to use VNC + Strudel as our first choice as it is integrated into our batch system at the moment most efficiently.

-VNC + Strudel ...
-* provides a complete graphical and '''remote desktop'''
-* survives disconnect & reconnect
-* supports easy start of remote visualization jobs over the batch system (including reconnect).
-* supports easy use of multiple compute nodes together with remote visualization jobs (eg. parallel ParaView).
-* multiple clients may connect to a VNC server at the same time sharing the same session (support, presentation, group discussions)

 For access to remote windows we recomment '''X Persistent Remote Applications (Xpra)''' as a light-weight solution.
