Leostream and NoMachine team up to deliver Linux VMs on Demand

Rome, Italy and Waltham, MA – March 16, 2009 – NoMachine, award-winning
provider of remote desktop and application delivery software, and
Leostream(tm) 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 will allow 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 multifactor 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.”
