Leostream Solutions for Government
Government agencies must balance the requirements of deploying and maintaining IT systems that serve their constituents with a host of considerations. They must protect confidential public data, react to organizational changes as a result of new legislation or legal mandates, enforce advanced levels of security and authentication, and ensure disaster-readiness. In addition, agencies need to support a wide range of distribution models for end-user resources, ranging from public computing kiosks in libraries or employment centers to supporting government knowledge workers at home offices.
A virtual infrastructure allows government agencies to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their IT operations without compromising security or interfering with business operations. Leostream enables government agencies to move to a virtual desktop infrastructure, integrating with agencies’ existing infrastructure and fully supporting future expansion. The Leostream Connection Broker provides cost-effective, secure, centralized management of end-user resources, whether for the public, government employees, contractors, or partners, while delivering policy-based access to support evolving regulatory mandates and security policies.
