At Leostream, we have been creating virtualization products since 2002. These products, including Virtual Machine Controller (VMC), P2V, and the Leostream Connection Broker, have been well-received in the market and have been purchased by many customers. A number of our customers, such as the US Patent and Trademark Office, wanted us to provide HA and access control for Hosted Desktops. So we evolved VMC to include these features, and eventually changed the product name to 'Connection Broker' to describe more accurately what we do.

With VMC/Connection Broker, we were the first player to address the opportunity presented by Hosted Desktops, and fairly quickly Citrix competitors joined the fray. Some of these have been bought, and now both VMware and Citrix have Connection Broker-like products. Yet we see ourselves as VMware and Citrix partners and are working together on a number of large projects.

The Leostream Connection Broker has been doing well over the last two years and has more 100 customers including Avaya, Bell Canada, Commerzbank, The Mayo Clinic, and Samsung. Customer demand for the Connection Broker has been so strong that we have decided to focus all of our resources on it. Leostream is 100% committed to the Connection Broker. We have several hundred brand name customers using it for large scale deployments and 80+ channel partners. We bring out new major releases every 12 months (version 4.x is still widely used in the field). Version 6.0 will be released later this year.

As for P2V, we will continue to fully support this product for existing P2V customers.
