The Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform
Leading Open-Source Alternative for your Private Cloud.

Why OpenStack?

The benefits of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for securing corporate data and supporting remote work are well known, but the cost of implementing traditional VDI is rising. For some, public clouds present an alternative for hosting virtual desktops, converting large capital expenditures to operating expenses. However, where can you turn if the public cloud isn’t for you?

OpenStack is open-source cloud computing infrastructure software that allows you to build private clouds on-premises. However, OpenStack lacks an effective management layer to turn that cloud into a secure, flexible virtual desktop powerhouse.

Enter the Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform.

The Promise of the Leostream® Platform

The Leostream® Platform is the only VDI management layer with native integration for OpenStack clouds. Don’t wedge a legacy VDI solution into OpenStack. Instead, build your own private VDI cloud managed by the Leostream® Platform or find a solution provider, such as Virtuozzo, who built their cloud offering on OpenStack.

Built for OpenStack

The Leostream Platform leverages the OpenStack APIs to seamlessly integrate with OpenStack clouds, making it the only platform with seamless OpenStack integration. Using Leostream pools and policies, you can automate capacity in your OpenStack cloud to ensure desktops are available based on user demand. By supporting a wide range of business workflows, from persistent to non-persistent desktops and everything in between, the Leostream Platform allows you to optimize your cloud usage while ensuring end-users remain productive.

DIY VDI for Better ROI

Leveraging open-source solutions for VDI avoids the costly licensing fees associated with other commercial virtualization stacks and lowers the cost of implementing VDI. Using the Leostream Platform to manage your open-source VDI solution helps you keep costs in check by optimizing and monitoring the usage of your OpenStack VDI environment among your end-users so you can invest in hardware to scale the infrastructure only when needed.

Graphics-Rich User Experience

No matter if you have task workers, knowledge workers, or power users with graphic-intense applications, the Leostream Platform can connect users to virtual machines hosted in OpenStack with a display protocol that gives each user the performance they need, while allowing IT to optimize the usage of more expensive high-performance display protocols. Mix and match display protocols like VNC, NoMachine, Amazon DCV, HP ZCentral Remote Boost, Scyld Cloud Workstation, and HP Anyware, or leverage the Leostream Gateway’s in-browser SSH, VNC, and RDP viewer for clientless access. With this level of connection flexibility, you can mandate almost any corporate-standard client device or give end users their choice.

Secure Remote Access

The Leostream Platform is a simple solution for securing remote access to your OpenStack VDI. It has easy-to-install components, robust authentication that includes MFA and smart card support, comprehensive access control policies that govern resource access, and a secure gateway to replace corporate VPNs and provide access to OpenStack resources locked in a virtual private network.
