There is an amazon product to this effect but that's obviously not local. I know one team inside a very large engineering organization that used x2go to remotely access an eclipse developer environment with all the resources/separation of duty available. I also visited a developer site that was rigged with a windows terminal services setup and two monitors/keyboard on every desk and that actually worked fairly well since the true horsepower was in the VM farm in the lab. Active Directory allows for that profile roaming as part of the core functionality so it's easy to transplant yourself around the place. Generally (I was on an interview bender recently) I see desktops with raised monitors ganged together (either displayport or hdmi supports daisy-chained monitors) and a keyboard and everyone is issued a lightweight laptop and defers all the beef to the cloud/vm farm. I keep going back to windows remote desktop as really the best remote desktop solution. It supports multiple monitors, and if you are a Windows environment with an AD you can roam from desk to desk trivially.
