You seem to have a nice infrastructure setup that could compete with the various alternative solutions (VMware ThinApp, etc.), but you'll never sell enterprise infrastructure without an enterprise sales team.
Instead, offer turn-key application hosting, both public and private. XP is hitting EOL in April, lots of companies have specific, ancient apps that they need to maintain, so fire up WINE or CodeWeavers CrossOver along with BoxedApp/Cameyo/AppArmor for sandboxing, and provide turn-key Win32 streamed application hosting by subscription, on a company's existing EC2 account, or as VM images.
Then, repeat that for niche apps in multiple markets. There was a YC startup that pivoted to provide streaming of mobile app demos. That's a great niche. That could be you. But providing desktop application demos is a completely different market from mobile app demos from Citrix replacement. You should have a different marketing strategy, different copy, different presentation, and different pricing for each of them, all quietly using the same infrastructure behind the scenes.
