Linux VDI with Leostream

Leostream helps our customers build enterprise VDI and other hosted desktop solutions  

Enterprise Infrastructure
-Utilize hybrid hosting environment - Host resources in the best environment, based on the users’ needs and location

-Optimize resource usage - Manage capacity and maximize usage to lower costs

-Ensure data accessibility – Bring the users to the data, not the data to the users

Corporate Initiatives
-Plan for high availability – Build redundant systems with a repeatable process in place for disaster recover and business continuity

-Scale for a global workforce – Consider scale at a point in time (such as logins) as well as in location (such as the number of users at various locations

-Build secure systems – Implement zero-trust architectures with MFA and access control built-in

End-User Considerations
-Provide the required end-user experience – Select a display protocol that provides the required performance and peripheral support

-Support a remote work policy – Architect and implement with a remote-first mind set to ensure productivity for all users

-Allow BYOD – Leverage clientless access and cloud solutions to avoid managing users’ client devices

Building Enterprise VDI with Leostream

Security is key for users connecting remotely through RDP. Leostream helps you make sure only authorized users have access and that the connection itself is secure. 

Step 1: Ditch the VPN
+ Lowers complexity – VPNs can be tedious to configure with a wide range of access control rules
+ Optimizes performance – VPNs act as a bottleneck on RDP performance for large groups of users
+ Scales more efficiently – Hardware VPNs cannot scale without the time and money needed to purchase more equipment

Step 2: Insert Leostream
+ Advanced authentication – Enforce MFA policies based on where the user is located
+ Authorize access – Comprehensive policies control access to what, from where, and for how long
+ Secure connections – Keep 3389 off the internet using Leostream Gateway HTML5 RDP viewer or by forwarding RDP traffic along random ports filtered by Client IP address

Secure RDP Connections with Leostream

Leostream in the Wild is a discussion series where customers join us to talk about all things Leostream. In this episode, we meet up with Remote Picture Labs to discuss enabling post-production teams to transition their workflows to a remote work environment.

Join us for a demo and discussion of the Leostream and a full end-to-end Linux solution allowing you to manage physical, virtual, and cloud machines in a single platform. The Leostream platform runs on Linux, with no need for Windows licenses and supports all operating systems for a seamless end user experience.

Secure remote access with real-time tracking in Leostream.
Who: Authenticate and identify who has access using your corporate standard identity providers

When: Limit and monitor access based on time-of-day

Where: Leverage locations to permit or restrict access based on where the user logs in

Why: Build pools that model tasks users need to accomplish

What: Define policies to limit access to only the required resources

Leostream for Privileged Access Management to Hosted Desktop Environments

Considerations for Hybrid Work Environments
- Single login portal for access to all hosted resources
- MFA for remote, but SFA for easy on-prem access
- Offer the appropriate resources based on where the user is logging in from
- Client-less connections to support any user device
- Architect for a dispersed workforce
- Always know where users connect from

Best Practices for Implementing Successful Hybrid Work Environments

The Leostream Agent is a small yet mighty component of the Leostream platform.
+ Install on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS resources
+ Register any machine with your Leostream environment
+ Gain insight into internal system attributes (OS version, etc.)
+ Power off and reboot any machine
+ Control RDP access
+ Provide USB device passthrough
+ Monitor user events: Login, logout, disconnect, idle, lock
+ Enforce client-based plans: Registry and Printer

The Leostream Agent - Small, but Mighty

This demonstration shows to manage multi-user Linux servers as well as virtual desktops via Windows and Linux console sessions, with Leostream and NICE DCV.

In the new release of the Leostream connection broker, we have added the ability to launch PCoIP soft client connections from the Leostream web client. This enables you to include a SAML based identity provider and have that redirect to Leostream to launch the client. This way the user password is never exposed to the connection broker. In addition, by using the Leostream client, you can launch multiple protocol connections from the same login to Leostream.
