Leostream™, the world's leading Remote Desktop Access Platform provider, has announced its new integration with Amazon WorkSpaces Core, providing organizations with a seamless and secure experience for deploying virtual desktops and applications in hybrid cloud environments, particularly when using VMware infrastructures.

WorkSpaces Core enables customers and partners to create custom VDI solutions using purpose-built compute instances optimized for virtual desktops. By adding both Leostream and WorkSpaces Core, organizations that use on-premises VMware hypervisors can easily and quickly maximize the utility of desktops and applications hosted in the cloud, while benefiting from improved security and lower costs.

The combination of using VMware hypervisors on-prem, Amazon WorkSpaces in the cloud, and the Leostream Connection Broker to manage the entire environment provides numerous benefits, including simplified management, better end-user experience, enhanced security and compliance features, greater workflow flexibility, and easier user on-boarding.

"Organizations that rely on VMware for their digital workspace requirements often have users who would benefit from a cloud-based workspace," commented Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. "However, IT needs a solution that can manage these hybrid environments from a single web-based administrator portal. Leostream is uniquely positioned to offer a seamless way to provide this hybrid experience with WorkSpaces Core and VMware environments. This latest solution is part of Leostream's ongoing efforts to enable enterprises to build a better way to manage hybrid work."

Leostream's platform offers the world's most robust desktop connection management and remote access feature set, providing organizations with the flexibility to choose best-of-breed components to satisfy their complex security, cost, and flexibility needs.

Furthermore, Leostream is renowned for being the go-to solution as the remote desktop access platform of choice—leveraging its unique ability to mix and manage on-premises and cloud-based hosting platforms. The platform's success stems from its ability to orchestrate disparate technologies from a single-pane-of-glass—allowing organizations to advance the state of their entire hosted desktop environment while integrating new technologies as they come to market.

Leostream Enhances Security and Management of vSphere Hybrid Cloud Deployments

Business Wire | January 29, 2024

Leostream Corporation, the world's leading Remote Desktop Access Platform provider, today announced features to enhance security, management, and end-user productivity in vSphere-based hybrid cloud environments. The Leostream platform strengthens end-user computing (EUC) capabilities for vSphere users, including secure access to both on-premises and cloud environments, heterogeneous support, and reduced cloud costs. With the Leostream platform as the single pane of glass managing EUC environments, any hosted desktop environment, including individual virtual desktops, multi-user sessions, hosted physical workstations or desktops, and hosted applications, becomes simpler to manage, more secure, more flexible, and more cost-effective. Significant ways the Leostream platform expands vSphere’s capabilities include: Security The Leostream platform ensures data remains locked in the corporate network, and works across on-premises and cloud environments, providing even disparate infrastructures with the same levels of security and command over authorization, control, and access tracking. The Leostream platform supports multi-factor authentication and allows organizations to enforce strict access control rules, creating an EUC environment modeled on a zero-trust architecture. Multivendor/protocol support The Leostream platform was developed from the ground up for heterogeneous infrastructures and as the connection management layer of the EUC environment, the Leostream platform allows organizations to leverage vSphere today and other hypervisors or hyperconvergence platforms in the future as their needs evolve. The Leostream platform supports the industry’s broadest array of remote display protocols, including specialized protocols for mission-critical tasks. Consistent EUC experience The Leostream platform enables IT to make changes to the underlying environment while ensuring the end user experience is constant, and to incorporate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OpenStack private clouds into their environment without disruptions in end-user productivity. By integrating with corporate Identity Providers (IdPs) that employees are already familiar with, and providing employees with a single portal they use to sign in, the Leostream platform offers simplicity to users too. Connectivity The Leostream Gateway securely connects to on-prem and cloud resources without virtual private networks (VPNs), and eliminates the need to manage and maintain security groups. End users get the same seamless login and high-performance connection across hybrid environments including corporate resources located off the internet. Controlling cloud costs The Leostream Connection Broker implements automated rules that control capacity and power state in the cloud, allowing organizations to optimize their cloud usage and minimize costs, such as ensuring cloud instances aren’t left running when they are no longer needed. The Connection Broker also intelligently pools and shares resources across groups of users, so organizations can invest in fewer systems, reducing overall cost of ownership. “These features deliver a streamlined experience with vSphere and hybrid or multi-cloud resources so end users remain productive, and corporate data and applications remain secure,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “At a time when there is uncertainty about the future of support for VMware’s end-user computing, it’s important to bring these options to the market to show that organizations can extend vSphere’s capabilities and simultaneously plan for the future without disruption to the workforce.” About Leostream Corporation Leostream Corporation, the global leader in Remote Desktop Access Platforms, offers comprehensive solutions that enable seamless work-from-anywhere environments for individuals across diverse industries, regardless of organization size or location.
