Organizations are moving more desktops, applications, and high-performance workloads into Microsoft Azure, but many still rely on complicated, multi-layered VDI stacks or aging access tools that slow down operations and increase cost. IT teams must support hybrid work, deliver strong performance for GPU-heavy workflows, and maintain tight access controls—all without adding new overhead.
Leostream solves these challenges by delivering a digital workspace management solution designed for Azure. With Leostream’s new Microsoft Marketplace offering, IT teams can deploy a full production-ready Connection Broker and Gateway directly into their Azure subscription, making it easy to stand up secure remote access across Windows and Linux desktops, GPU-backed workstations, and HPC environments.
Leostream makes it easy to deploy secure, high-performance HPC environments on Azure. The Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform provides centralized management for users, virtual machines, and policies which enables teams to connect to compute resources quickly and securely, without VPNs or manual setup.
Leostream centralizes how IT manages access, sessions, and policy controls for Azure-hosted desktops and compute resources. Once deployed, the Leostream Platform becomes the control plane for Azure-based digital workspaces, including GPU-enabled VMs and HPC nodes.
Azure provides the performance foundation, including NVIDIA-powered NC and NV VM families designed for compute-intensive and graphics-intensive workloads. Leostream makes these resources accessible and secure for hybrid teams.
Secure, High-Performance Access to Azure Workloads
As organizations move high-performance workloads into Microsoft Azure, IT teams need a clean and reliable way to manage access without the complexity of legacy VDI stacks. This white paper breaks down how the Leostream Platform delivers secure, policy-driven access to Windows and Linux virtual machines, GPU-backed workstations, and HPC environments hosted in Azure. It explains how Leostream’s Marketplace deployment simplifies setup, how the Leostream Gateway provides VPN-less connectivity through randomized ports, and how automated power management helps control cloud spend. If your team supports engineers, researchers, or media professionals working with heavy compute or graphics workloads, this guide shows how to streamline access, strengthen security, and improve performance in Azure.
Deploy the Connection Broker and Gateway directly within Azure in minutes. No complex prerequisites. No custom scripts. Just a straightforward, production-ready setup.
Integrate with Entra ID or other identity providers to enforce fine-grained, zero-trust access. Leostream ensures users only reach approved desktops and compute resources.
Leostream supports modern protocols—including TGX, PCoIP, and RDP—to deliver smooth, responsive access even to GPU-intensive workloads such as rendering, simulation, and design review.
Keep Azure resources off the public internet. The Leostream Gateway controls access so only authorized users can connect, using in-browser access or securely routed display protocol traffic
Leostream can power up resources when users need them and shut them down when they don’t, helping control Azure compute costs without impacting performance.
Get centralized insights into user activity, resource usage, and cost-impacting trends—all without juggling multiple Azure tools.
