New platform for Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances targets media, entertainment, and enterprise remote work environments
Leostream Corporation has introduced a new desktop and workstation platform for Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances (CMI), aimed at supporting secure, scalable, and high-performance remote work environments across enterprise and media production sectors.
The new platform is designed to address growing demand for GPU-enabled cloud workstations capable of supporting graphics-intensive applications used in broadcast, streaming, post-production, and other creative workflows. The solution also supports standard enterprise productivity environments, including Microsoft 365 workloads hosted on AWS infrastructure.
Built on Amazon Web Services infrastructure, including Amazon EC2, the platform enables organizations to deploy multiple operating system environments, GPU-accelerated workloads, persistent or non-persistent desktops, and multi-user sessions tailored to different operational requirements.
According to Karen Gondoly, the solution is built to support the evolving nature of modern production environments and distributed workforces.
“Media production today is as likely to happen in a remote location outside a sports arena as it is in a traditional studio setting,” said Karen Gondoly, CEO of Leostream.
“Media production today is as likely to happen in a remote location outside a sports arena as it is in a traditional studio setting,” Gondoly said. “No matter how challenging the conditions, Leostream ensures a reliable, high-performance experience that takes full advantage of all that AWS has to offer.”
A key feature of the platform is its deep integration with Amazon DCV, AWS’s high-performance remote display protocol, which enables secure streaming and remote access for graphics-heavy workloads.
Leostream said the platform also focuses heavily on cost optimization by dynamically provisioning and scaling GPU-enabled cloud resources based on demand. Unused GPU instances can automatically power down to reduce unnecessary infrastructure spending, addressing one of the major cost challenges associated with cloud-based graphics workloads.
In addition to performance and scalability, the platform incorporates enterprise-grade security controls, including identity management, least-privileged access, session monitoring, authentication controls, and privileged remote access management for contractors, vendors, and distributed teams.
The company said its remote desktop access platform eliminates the need for traditional VPN-based connectivity by allowing users to securely access only the resources they are authorized to use, regardless of device or location.
Leostream’s new platform is positioned to support the increasing shift from traditional studio environments to distributed, cloud-enabled production workflows that require secure and flexible access to high-performance computing resources.
