Leostream is a privately held technology company based in Waltham, Massachusetts. Its flagship product is a connection broker for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). The company was founded in 2002.

Leostream develops a vendor-neutral connection broker, which is software that maps end users to computing resources, such as desktops, that are hosted in a data center. A connection broker integrates end-user access points, including thin clients,laptops and Web browsers, with back-end systems hosting desktops and applications. It also integrates all other data center systems required for a virtual desktop infrastructure, including security, authentication, and load balancing systems.[1].

As a vendor-neutral connection broker, it integrates with all major virtualization systems, including those from VMware, Citrix and Microsoft. [2][3]
