| Source: Leostream
WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - July 8, 2008) - Leostream Corporation (www.leostream.com), a
leading developer of Virtual Hosted Desktop software, today announced it
has been selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Tech vendor for
its Connection Broker software. CRN's Emerging Tech list captures companies
that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and
easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.
Leostream Connection Broker software enables organizations to manage user
access to computing resources such as Virtual Hosted Desktops, Physical
Machines, and Terminal Services. It provides the production-proven,
scalable, fault-tolerant management layer required by organizations to
implement and enforce business policy for Hosted Desktops.
Connection Broker is vendor independent and manages connections between a
range of client and back-end systems. Supported client devices include:
Devon IT, IBM, IGEL, Microsoft Windows (2000, XP, XPe, Vista 32- and
64-bit), Sun, and Wyse. Back-end support includes: Microsoft Terminal
Services, Physical Machines, and VMware.
According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution
providers add emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to
other products in the market segment; the technology complements a solution
provider's existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better
services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to partners;
emerging vendors offer higher margins; customers want alternative product
choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In
addition, 61 percent of solution providers surveyed plan to increase the
number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12
months.
"New and innovative vendor partners can help spur profitable new ideas that
Solution Providers can use to build revenue and customer loyalty, and the
CRN Emerging Tech list is where Solution Providers go to find these
vendors," said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice president and editorial
director, Everything Channel editorial.
Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established
solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel
partners. They must demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down
as evidenced by the company's revenue history, a channel positive or
channel neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and not be a
dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology
list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of
the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted
partners.
