Fresh VDI Management Options
Leostream's Release of Remote Access and VDI Management for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Environments Marked an Important Shift in the Remote Desktop Landscape. This is a strategic step for organizations willing to explore options beyond VMware vSphere.
Key benefits stand out
- Integrate directly to KubeVirt APIs & allow any Kubernetes container solution as a VDI host
- Strong, role-based access controls.
- Supports different display protocols, including those that offer high-performance
- Resource pool enables automated VM management
- Zero-Trust Security Model
And the timing is right. With Broadcom acquiring VMware and raising concerns about future pricing, Leostream can help OpenShift become a relevant alternative. If a company is already working with Red Hat’s infrastructure, they will be more inclined to shift.
Looking deeper at the implementation:
Those using the platform can run VM workloads with their containers to create an all-in-one environment. As a result, resource management is made more efficient, and infrastructure costs may potentially decrease. The connection broker manages VM inventory, power control, and provisioning as well as helping with end-user access.
Worth considering
- Migration from existing VDI setups is not easy and requires a lot of planning
- Companies need to assess how much OpenShift knowledge they have in-house
- A container-based VDI approach is new and lacks established best practices.
- Have a performance impact on testing in production-like environments
Now that the platform is in Preview, early adopters should be prepared for some rollout updates as it matures. For a technology with the potential to succeed, thorough testing in intended use cases is advised for organizations.
