OK, I've maxed the RAM on Linux server that will be running two
VM-Windows7 with 32GB of RAM and it has SSD so it should handle the load
(8-core AMD).
One VM-Windows7 run a program as a server the other VM-Windows7 acts as
a client, run by another user. Another user will log to the his account
on a sever via X2GO and start VM-Windows7 (run the same program but in a
client mode).

I've NX as well, but they have closed the source.  X2GO was easier to
install as well.

The rdp might work.  It would be best if I could by-pass the switch,
since both VM's are running on the same Linux server.
