Display options include RDP, VNC, Amazon DCV, and HP Anyware (PCoIP).
The platform supports Windows, Linux, and macOS on client and remote desktops. Users can also connect through the Leostream Gateway's secure HTML5 access. Security controls include multi-factor authentication, access rules, audit-level tracking, and gateway access without a VPN. The Connection Broker offers XML-RPC and RESTful APIs. Listed use cases include high-performance computing and graphics, hybrid cloud deployments, Linux VDI, physical workstation management, and secure remote work.
