The Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform
Because Not Every User Needs Windows.

The Argument for Linux

Linux is a popular operating system due to its open-source nature, preferred by engineers, developers, and open-source enthusiasts alike. However, historically, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platforms have treated Linux like an afterthought, providing sub-par support compared to its Windows counterpart. If your organization, like most, is comprised of different types of end users who require different types of operating systems, how can you create a hosted desktop environment that maximizes their productivity without overcomplicating IT?

Enter the Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform.

The Promise of the Leostream® Platform

Whether it’s a physical workstation, VM, client, or remote host, the Leostream® Platform has your Linux requirements covered. With comprehensive support for different Linux distributions alongside Microsoft Windows and Mac operating systems, the Leostream® Platform includes all the tools you need to build a secure and performant Linux VDI environment and then some.

All Linux, All the Time

From client devices to remote desktops, the Leostream Platform supports Linux every step of the way. The core Leostream Platform components even install on Linux, so no Windows operating system licenses are ever required, reducing the cost of your VDI management layer. Unlike other platforms that restrict which Linux distributions you can use, with the Leostream Platform, you can leverage your standard corporate Linux distribution no matter what that may be—Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, SUSE Enterprise Linux, and all open-source distributions in between.

Simplified Access for Multi-OS Environments

Leostream manages access and connections to Windows and macOS desktops, not just for Linux. Users have access to everything they need from a single portal. The Leostream Platform even includes features that can map user identities between operating systems, so you can use your standard corporate identity providers for secure access to your Leostream environment and then allow users to switch to their Linux credentials. IT maintains a consistent view of which user is accessing corporate resources, even as login information changes. The Leostream Platform also gives IT a single-pane-of-glass portal for securing access across all operating systems and hosting platforms, easing the IT burden of managing multi-OS and hybrid environments.

Graphics-Rich User Experience

The Leostream Platform can connect users to their Linux resources 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 Standardized Remote Access

The Leostream Platform is your single solution for securing remote access to all of your corporate assets, with 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. IT has unified control, visibility, and tracking of user activity no matter where corporate resources are hosted—on-premises virtualization, datacenter workstations, public clouds, or even in dark sites—or what operating system they are running.

Leostream delivers a comprehensive, end-to-end Linux solution, enabling you to manage physical, virtual, and cloud machines from a single platform. Running entirely on Linux—without the need for Windows licenses—it supports all operating systems to ensure a seamless end-user experience.
