The Leostream platform is the industry-leading solution for remote access and desktop connection management and includes the Leostream Connect software client, which is certified to install on IGEL OS. Unlike other connection management solutions that focus on the silo of resources specific to that vendor, Leostream provides IT with a single pane-of-glass for managing hybrid resources and defining access control rules that indicate which authenticated users have access to which resources. Similarly, Leostream gives users one seamless login portal to connect to anything from anywhere.
At the heart of the Leostream Platform is the Connection Broker. It allows organizations to manage cloud, virtual, and physical desktops, launch desktop connections using a variety of commodity and high-performance display protocols, and support any guest operating system on the hosted desktop, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. Leostream’s unique vendor-neutral approach allows organizations to build a hybrid work environment with remote and on-premises resources that most closely matches their users’ needs, with the ability to mix and transition between technologies as required to satisfy every use case.
The Connection Broker can be used alone in an air-gapped or on-premises environment, or it can be combined with the Leostream Gateway. The Leostream Gateway is the key for remote access and obsoletes the need for expensive, complicated, and performance degrading VPNs. The unique architecture of the Leostream Platform enables organizations to use multiple Leostream Gateways across their hybrid cloud environment, all managed by the same Connection Broker cluster, to ensure users can always connect to the most appropriate resource from a single login.
In addition to providing IT with flexible control over end-user access to hybrid hosted desktops, Leostream provides critical Day 2 operations functionality, such as audit-level logging of end-user events and single-pane-of-glass management of hybrid hosted resources. The combination of simplicity for end-user access and IT management makes the Leostream Platform a critical piece in any hybrid cloud or on-premises hosted desktop environment.
