LTSP is the equivalent of a Windows Terminal Server. However, it serves Linux applications.
Oracle will run on Linux. Do the Windows applications you are referring to run on Linux ? Are they Java based ? Java code should move very easily to a different platform. If the applications are true Windows only applications, then you have to look at alternatives to get the application to run on Linux. You could build a vmware cluster and load virtual machines on the server. Then use LTSP to connect to the vmware cluster. You could try running the application with Wine or CodeWeavers to see if the applications will work on x86 processors running Linux.
