Rome, Italy and Waltham, MA – March 16, 2009 – NoMachine, award-winning
provider of remote desktop and application delivery software, and
Leostream™ Corporation, a leading developer of virtual hosted desktop
software, today announced a partnership that will fully support and
integrate NoMachine's NX protocol into the Leostream Connection
Broker. This combined solution allows enterprises to easily deploy
and manage Linux virtual desktops within their IT environments.
Leostream
users can now leverage the power and speed of NX technology, connecting
quickly and securely through the NX Client to a Linux VDI hosted on the
NX Server, while using the Connection Broker to manage the connections
of end users to their desktops, applications and sessions. Users are
provided the most efficient way to access hosted environments on
centrally managed servers. Outstanding compression, session resilience
and resource management make NX the ideal solution for shared,
dedicated and virtual services.
The Leostream Connection
Broker is a virtual appliance that integrates heterogeneous data center
systems into VDI and then assigns and manages end-user resources. IT
administrators can use the Connection Broker Web Interface in
conjunction with NoMachine's NX technology and application server
management tools to manage computing resources and control what users
can access, giving end users the right resources at the right time,
regardless of their location.
With NX technology, users
experience the benefit of real-time connections to the virtual Linux
environment, while the Leostream Connection Broker provides the
centralized connection management layer needed to deliver computing
resources to end users. Via Leostream, NoMachine NX Linux-based VDI
integrates physical and virtual desktops, blades, applications and
terminal server sessions.
The Leostream Connection Broker
integrates other systems required by the VDI, for example, 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 precisely, while offering an excellent end-user experience.
Together, NX technology and the Leostream Connection Broker create a
comprehensive VDI solution for Linux users, simplifying integration and
management to create a unified hosted desktop environment, in even the
most complex IT architectures.
“NoMachine NX is a great new
addition to our portfolio of supported protocols and clients, creating
a perfect solution for users working in Linux environments,” said Kate
deBethune, marketing director for Leostream. “As the industry's most
widely deployed vendor-independent connection broker, Leostream
supports a wide range of protocols and collaborates with software
providers to deliver the flexible solutions users need to make VDI
work.”
NoMachine's business development manager, Sarah
Dryell, said, “NoMachine is pleased to be partnering with Leostream to
expand Connection Broker access to include virtualized Linux desktops
and applications. By adding support for NX, Leostream becomes the
first connection broker solution to include NoMachine's 'just like
being there' experience for real-time access to Linux resources from
anywhere on the network.”
