Leostream, a remote desktop access platform provider, is expanding its solutions portfolio. The company is collaborating with Amazon to incorporate and distribute NICE DCV, Amazon’s high-performance remote display and streaming protocol, as a part of Leostream’s offering.
The DCV protocol is purpose-built for environments that require high-performance graphics on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon WorkSpaces Core and other on-premise or cloud environments supported by Leostream.
It is designed to securely deliver remote desktops and application – streaming from AWS or a data center to the end user’s device – enabling even graphics-intensive applications to remotely display without high-end workstations. The DCV streaming protocol integrates with the Leostream remote desktop access platform to allow HPC and sophisticated imaging/video applications, running on both Windows and Linux, to be used on a remote user’s device.
Native DCV clients are available for Windows, Linux and macOS, and an HTML5 client is available for browser-based access. Native clients support 4K resolution, multiple monitors and features such as stylus/touchscreen support, USB devices, multi-channel audio, smartcards and file transferring.
Leostream provides identity management and authentication to ensure the security of data and assets, access policy-based management and handle administrative features that simplify IT, even for large pools of remote workers, large datasets and environments that combine EC2 and on-prem resources. Leostream also supports nearly all other major display protocols, so that customers can combine DCV with others, based on the employee’s task and role.
“This collaboration gives our team more resources to help architect the ideal infrastructure for customers with resource-intensive workloads like media, scientific research, energy, and finance,” said Randy Foster, Leostream VP of sales and marketing. “The NICE DCV protocol is an excellent option for giving remote access to engineering, design, editing, analytics, or other advanced applications running in the cloud with an end-user experience that rivals on-premise performance.”
Leostream can mix and manage on-premise and cloud-based hosting platforms. Its single-pane-of-glass administration console powers the Leostream platform, streamlining the management of users, cloud desktops and IT assets with real-time dashboard access to view usage and environment details in order to make informed decisions.
