Increases cloud efficiency, scalability,
resilience for Windows 365 users
Leostream Corporation, creator of the world-leading Leostream®
Remote Desktop Access Platform, today announced the full
integration of the Leostream Platform with Microsoft Windows 365 to
provide enhanced flexibility, scalability, and resilience to
organizations incorporating cloud and hybrid cloud
infrastructure.
Enterprises that rely on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure contend
with a myriad of challenges, including capacity limitations due to
space constraints within data centers. With potentially hundreds of
thousands of user desktop sessions happening at once, the sheer
size of these environments often requires moving workloads to the
cloud to accommodate demanding use cases. Cloud deployments also
permit new flexibility for instance-size updates and nearly
limitless restore points to minimize disruptions, especially in the
event of VM failures.
However, cloud and hybrid cloud strategies incur increased
complexity as resources, applications, and data must be managed and
available across on-premises data centers and multiple cloud
platforms. The Leostream Platform alleviates this complexity and
enables Windows 365 users to access additional resources hosted
on-prem, on Azure, AWS, or other cloud providers, with a consistent
and unified experience and state-of-the-art authentication and
security.
Key to the Leostream Platform’s ability to streamline remote
Windows 365 desktop access in heterogeneous environments is its
comprehensive protocol support. This delivers seamless
communication between disparate systems, regardless of the
underlying hosting platform or supported display protocol.
Additional features and advantages of deploying the Leostream
Platform with Windows 365:
- Provides a customizable landing page tailored to individual
user profiles and locations for a personalized and intuitive user
experience
- Eliminates conventional password-based authentication with
stronger Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to enhance
security while simplifying the user login processes, and integrates
with Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) providers so
organizations can easily transition to SAML authentication while
maintaining compatibility with the existing authentication
framework
- Enables direct connections to Windows 365 desktops via Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP) support and allows the use of cloud-specific
display protocols such as NICE DCV and PCoIP for connections to
other hosted resources, eliminating incompatibilities that lead to
interoperability issues and impede user experience
- Permits future integration of Windows 365 with other
third-party VDI and DaaS Vendors
“Windows 365 is an essential tool for many organizations, and
this integration gives them new options not only for supporting
hybrid and remote workforces, but also truly for implementing a
multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud strategy alongside their on-premise
infrastructure,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “The Leostream
Platform’s emphasis on access and interoperability of diverse
protocols eliminates one of the primary obstacles to transitioning
to the cloud by ensuring workers have access to the resources they
need and a user experience that won’t hamper their
productivity.”
The Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform for hosted desktops
and workstations offers a comprehensive solution for remote access
to maintain productivity, control costs, and ensure security with
strict authentication and authorization built on zero-trust
concepts. Its connection management system eliminates clunky
corporate VPNs with an ultra-efficient gateway that gives users
access to only the specific resources they have permission to use,
automatically, regardless of their location or device. The
Leostream Platform shines even in environments that rely on
complex, specialty applications like energy and science; large
files such as media and entertainment; real-time performance like
financial services; and bulletproof network security like
government and defense.
