Implement the Right Workstation Experience for Your Organization
The success of a virtual desktop (VDI) initiative depends, more than any other factor, on the quality of your end-users' desktop experience. This needs to be as good as or better than that of the conventional desktops being replaced. If the end-user experience falls short in some way - streaming video and audio is choppy, or favorite USB devices don't work - discontent with the system will slow adoption. A sub-optimal end-user experience can reduce organizational confidence in virtualization and cripple the future of VDI initiatives.
The Leostream Connection Broker provides the integration capability, extended feature set, and policy control you need to optimize VDI for your organization while providing the desktop experience your end-users demand.
Choose the Protocol That Delivers the Right Performance for Your Environment
Leostream addresses virtual desktop performance considerations by allowing you to choose the protocols that meet your performance requirements. The Connection Broker can use any major viewer protocol to deliver desktops, applications and sessions that meet the performance expectations of your user communities - from data entry clerks to floor traders.
The Connection Broker supports desktop connections using RDP 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 for complete Microsoft support (including Windows 7).
Need high-end performance for bladed workstations, trading desks or processing intensive applications? Use any of the following high-performance protocols: HP RGS, Sun Appliance Link Protocol (ALP), Teradici PC-over-IP, or Wyse TCX.
Leostream provides high-performance Linux desktops using NoMachine NX, rdesktop, and VNC. And the Connection Broker uses ICA to deliver Citrix XenApp sessions.
Enable Seamless, Flexible Virtual Desktop Access
The Connection Broker enables simple and secure access for a wide range of authentication systems. It provides native SSO for most operating systems and protocols, and smooth roaming for flexible, on-demand access to the user’s desktop from any client with access to the corporate network.
Provide the Workstation Features Your End-users Expect
- USB: Grant or deny end-users access to any specific USB device or class of USB device.
- Printing: Provide access to network printers that correspond to the physical location of your end users.
- Multimonitor: Improve the productivity of your VDI users with support for up to sixteen monitors (depending on your viewer protocol)
Implement Policies Exactly to Meet End-user and Organizational Requirements
Build polices that assign desktops and applications while adhering to your organization's business rules. Policies assign both desktops and applications, providing fine-grained control over both the end-user experience and assigned machines.
