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
