Leostream
Corporation announced enhanced support for
HP Anyware software for virtual desktops and
physical workstations for hybrid workforces. Combined, the complementary
platforms offer a powerful way to provide secure, policy-based access to
desktops and applications from any client device, from any hosting platform,
via any suitable display protocol, with any compatible cloud.
HP Anyware, a successor to HP ZCentral Remote
Boost, connects remote workers to high-performance workstations. As modern
digital workspaces become more complex, the Leostream Remote Desktop Access
Platform helps HP Anyware seamlessly transition and expand remote desktop
infrastructure,
maintaining
performance and productivity as the environment grows or as more advanced workflows are
implemented.
Benefits of using the Leostream Platform with
HP Anyware include:
Multi-protocol support
Leostream offers HP Anyware users multi-vendor
support that enforces the core objective of any connection-from anywhere.
Employees can access resources from any client device, including PCoIP
Zero clients, PCoIP Soft clients, iOS or Android mobile clients, and devices
with Microsoft Windows, macOS, or Linux operating systems. Environments can use
any hosting platform, including VMware, Amazon Web Service, Microsoft Azure,
Google Cloud, and more.
This multi-vendor support also extends to
display protocols, even those used in highly specialized environments.
Organizations can easily migrate from HP ZCentral Remote Boost to HP Anyware, and
mix and match these display protocols with other commodity or high-performance
display protocols to assign the best option for each user or group. Expanding
choice in display protocols helps optimize licensing costs, and eliminates the
need to pay for more display protocol licenses than necessary.
Advanced security
The Leostream Platform enhances the security of
HP Anyware with robust features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and
policy-defined access control rules that ensure users can only access
authorized resources. The platform offers granular control over user access,
tracks login and resource usage, and monitors for anomalous activity.
The Leostream Gateway can replace traditional
VPNs for more secure remote access, and authenticate users in standard LDAP
systems, such as Active Directory, or OpenLDAPTM.
Any scale
When the workforce grows, Leostream
accommodates increasing users and workstations without increasing complexity.
When it's time to shift from traditional desktops to advanced digital
workspaces, including multi-cloud and hybrid cloud platforms, Leostream
eliminates the disruptions typically associated with transitioning to new
systems and adds cloud optimization capabilities. When the organization's
workloads become more data-intensive, or rely on more sensitive information,
Leostream ensures smooth, secure operations. Users maintain connections with
the login and authentication processes they're familiar with, so there's no
lapse in access and no sacrifice in performance or productivity.
"HP Anyware and Leostream now integrate
smoothly for a comprehensive solution that addresses the critical needs of
modern organizations-flexibility, security, scalability, and cost efficiency,"
said Randy Foster, Leostream VP, sales and marketing. "With Leostream,
organizations using HP Anyware can modernize their remote work environment,
create a digital workspace that meets current demands, and adapts to future
challenges."
