Last week Leostream and Ericom announced a partnership to support the new Ericom accelerator for Microsoft RDP launched in September, Blaze, inside the Leostream Connection Broker.

It is an uncommon move considering that the two vendors compete in the VDI space with a multi-hypervisor connection broker.
Anyway both have to face the competition coming from the platform providers Citrix and VMware, plus the one coming from third parties like Quest/Provision Networks.

Assuming the market will receipt well this combined offering, this effort may lead to further collaboration and even a merge, to stay competitive in the VDI market which is considered by many as ready to explode next year.
