Leostream Corporation today released the latest version of the
world-leading Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform, featuring
even more flexibility, support for additional third-party products,
and more control over policies and connection management.
Improvements to Leostream cover desktop and user access, scaling
and load balancing across multiple Leostream Gateways, and a host
of new functionality with advanced tools including HP Anyware,
Azure, Windows 365, Red Hat OpenShift, and KubeVirt.io.
New features include:
Control and management
- Support for client certificate authentication for the Leostream
Web client
- Improved power control actions for physical workstations and
desktops that enable Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI) to simplify the IT task of rebooting or powering on remote
physical workstations
- Added features for scheduling desktop assignments to support
use cases where desktops are shared by a group of users, such as
classroom settings
- New features for fixed desktop operating system credentials to
support multiple users sharing applications and data on a desktop
with a common login name
- Web client improvements for better visibility and ease of use,
including improved visibility of error and status messages
- New options to prioritize running desktops over stopped/idle
desktops to optimize the end-user experience when users request a
connection to a corporate resource
Scalability
- Simplified scaling with no more restrictions on the number of
Connection Brokers allowed in a cluster
- Improved load balancing via advanced distribution of user
connections across a cluster of Leostream Gateways
Third-party support
- Unified experience for users connecting to HP Anyware and PCoIP
remote workstations cards through the Leostream Gateway
- More flexibility in launching PCoIP connections with HP Anyware
software or zero client
- Easier management for workers using Windows 365 virtual
machines alongside other Leostream-managed desktops
- New KubeVirt centers can be used to integrate with any
container platform that leverages KubeVirt.io, such as Red Hat
OpenShift

enterprises,” said Karen Gondoly, Leostream CEO. “As workforces,
applications, and computing evolves, Leostream remains dynamic and
adaptable to a broad spectrum of user requirements.”
