BOSaNOVA VDI-Ready Thin Clients include the Leostream Connection Broker on BOSaNOVA’s XPe and Linux Thin Clients. The Leostream Connection Broker enables enterprises using BOSaNOVA units to integrate physical and virtual desktops, blades and Terminal Server sessions. In addition, the Connection Broker integrates whatever systems are required by the VDI: multiple authentication servers (Active Directory, eDirectory, OpenLDAP), external SSL VPNs and multi-factor authentication. The Connection Broker provides advanced policies, including location-based policies and global user redirection, enabling enterprises to implement business rules exactly while providing an excellent end-user experience. Together, BOSaNOVA Thin Clients and the Leostream Connection Broker "make desktop virtualization work."

"BOSaNOVA’s impressive line of industry-leading thin clients support a comprehensive range of virtualization platforms and end-user computing resources," said Michael Palin, CEO of Leostream. "This partnership has resulted in a solution that maximizes the value of customer VDI environments and allows comprehensive integration of existing resources. With our independent approach to session management, the Connection Broker gives BOSaNOVA end-users an excellent experience with Windows, Linux, and Citrix desktops, applications and more."

"Together, we have been able to deliver thin clients that are designed specifically for desktop virtualization, offering customers lower cost, easy and secure management and greater reliability," said Martin Pladgeman, BOSaNOVA President. "Leostream makes VDI integration easy and straightforward with their proven, vendor-independent connection broker - a good match for the strong performing and versatile thin clients that are our hallmark."
