Leostream Corporation, creator of the world-leading Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform, announced today that Leostream has been named a Major Player in two IDC MarketScapes: Worldwide Desktops-as-a-Service (DaaS) 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54118526, July 2026) and Worldwide Virtual Client Computing (VCC) 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54130226, July 2026).
IDC’s Enterprise Client Computing Platforms research program covers DaaS and VCC platforms that support enterprise workforces and usually offer automation, governance, management, and observability. The program provides guidance on upcoming market disruptions, their long-term impacts, and related changes in IT operations, finance, end-user devices, and hybrid work initiatives. The program also encompasses traditional on-premises VDI and unstructured cloud IaaS, Cloud PC (a VCC technology supported by hybrid endpoints), application delivery and streaming, and intelligent digital workspace (IDW).
We believe Leostream’s position in these segments is providing secure, flexible remote access solutions for modern digital workspaces, whether that encompasses DaaS, traditional VDI, or a hybrid of both, depending on the workload and operational needs. With Leostream’s platform, organizations have the flexibility to choose the cloud vendor, hardware, endpoint devices, display/streaming protocols, and other resources that best meet their requirements and cost considerations.
“The IDC MarketScape delivers comprehensive product and vendor research that IT buyers need to determine the capabilities that best suit their requirements,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “After more than 20 years of deployments, it’s gratifying to be called a Major Player in DaaS and VCC, and we hope those who are adopting modern digital workspaces will benefit from IDC MarketScape’s assessment of Leostream.”
The Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform for hosted desktops and workstations offers a comprehensive solution for remote access to maintain productivity, control costs, and ensure security with strict authentication and authorization built on zero-trust concepts. Its connection management system eliminates clunky corporate VPNs with an ultra-efficient gateway that gives users access to only the specific resources they have permission to use, automatically, regardless of their location or device. The Leostream Platform shines even in environments that rely on complex, specialty applications like energy and science; large files such as media and entertainment; real-time performance like financial services; and bulletproof network security like government and defense.
