As the Xspice's description in Readme, i get that Xspice is a X server and spice server in one, running in guest os, but our team has developed a set of windows virtual desktop in which the spiceserver is deployed in HOST os linked with QEMU, and i think that is coordinated with the spice protocol.,

For your virtual machines spice server is running in the host, i.e. in
each qemu process.

For Xspice the spice server is Xspice - it's a different configuration,
there is no virtual machine, no host/guest distinction. Wherever Xspice
is running, there the server is.
