We have developed a nice application (standalone) for a customer; now this customer wants to allow people to use it through their website.
We have been asked if we can realize this, and I am not sure about if and what the best solution would be.
The software performs only calculations on user input data and is very graphical, hence the user interface should remain almost the same.
Demands:
-multiple instances should be able to be ran simultaneously when more than one user connects through the browser
-Application is ran as executable with only LV runtime (10 service pack1)
There is a linux server available, and alternatively a windows server to run labview like things on.
Questions:
-What would be the best approach, if Labview is currently not able to do this in a nice way I will recommend the customer to go elsewhere.
Best thing would be if we somehow could directly port our work done on the GUI in labview to the website.
-My (only) idea would be remote panels; will this work with our requirements?
-(of topic)Can windows made VIs be opened and compiled on linux LV (disregarding windows specific things like .net)?

Dear _Faust,
I think remote panels are a good solution for you. Please notice that the clients will need a run time version of Labview (these are free available). The number of connections are limited by the remote panels license; you are able to find more about that under this link. Under this documents there are more valuable links.
Please notice also the following tutorial.
You are able to use Labview VI's on different operating systems. Besides the operating system specific things also drivers are operating system specific.
Best regards,
