News Analysis: Why I.R.I.S. Chose Leostream

Yesterday Leostream announced that its connection broker was chosen by I.R.I.S. to enable the virtual desktop solution for a large-scale Belgian government project.

Why is this noteworthy? Because it’s another in a steady stream of customers that Leostream is winning in the high-stakes desktop virtualization market.

Leostream is a company that doesn’t get much attention, but has quietly developed a reputation for the best connection broker product for hosted desktops (VDI), racking up over 150 customers, 20-plus channel partners worldwide, and 18 technology partnerships - including all the key virtualization players.

As we see it, most all organizations embracing desktop virtualization will have a heterogeneous mix of solutions, requiring a heterogeneous connection broker. Connection brokers are Leostream’s sole focus - and Leostream is the only company to offer a truly heterogeneous one. It’s not sexy, but it is complex technology that is difficult to get right. Leostream has done that. Hail to a company that focused first on getting the technology right and satisfying customers, rather than proclaiming itself via marketology.

We believe that Leostream has properly focused on “first things first” with a solid, flexible product and is now very well positioned to capitalize on the rapidly developing desktop virtualization market.

It’s now time for Leostream to start tooting its horn.
