WebStream helps organisations provide browser-based access to existing Windows applications without rewriting the application, installing endpoint software, or building a complex VDI environment.
WebStream sits between the browser and your existing Windows application, delivering just the app your users need — governed, audited, and ready to run on-premises or on AWS.
The application runs on Windows you control; only its interface is streamed to the browser. No code changes, no client software.
The application UI streams to any modern HTML5 browser over TLS. There is nothing to install on the endpoint — no plug-in, agent, or extension.
Users never touch RDP port 3389 or a VPN client. Access is identity-gated through WebStream, keeping the Windows host off the open network.
Users launch a specific application, not a desktop. File transfer, clipboard, and print/PDF are governed by policy, with a full audit trail per session.
Runs in your own cloud or data centre and is accessed entirely through the browser — nothing for end users to install. Paid tiers bill SessionHours — active streaming time, not seats or idle desktops.
If it runs on Windows and your users still depend on it, WebStream can put it in the browser.
Forms-based, database-driven systems that run the business but were never built for the web.
Heavier productivity applications — document, spreadsheet, and reporting tools — delivered without a local install.
Admin consoles and operational utilities that need controlled, browser-based access.
Commercial Windows products an ISV wants to offer as a SaaS-style browser experience.
Shop-floor, logistics, and back-office systems integrated with local files and printers.
Applications whose vendor is gone or source is unavailable — still critical, still running.
Browser delivery is only useful if the everyday actions work. WebStream supports them and governs them by policy.
Move files in and out of the application with policy control over what is allowed.
Copy and paste behaviour governed per policy to control data movement.
Print to PDF and redirect output to the user without exposing the host.
Pick up where users left off with persistent session behaviour.
Private and shared workspaces for the way teams actually work.
Identity-driven access with a full audit trail around every session.
How browser-based app delivery compares with VPN/RDP, full VDI, and a rewrite.
| Capability | WebStream | VPN / RDP | Traditional VDI | Rewrite |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No application rewrite | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| No endpoint client install | Yes | No | Often | Yes |
| Delivers a single app (not full desktop) | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| File / print / clipboard policy | Yes | Limited | Varies | Custom |
| Full session audit trail | Yes | Limited | Varies | Custom |
| Time to first app in browser | Hours | Days | Weeks | Months+ |

No. WebStream runs your existing Windows application as-is and renders it in the browser. There is no code change, recompilation, or re-platforming required.
No endpoint client is required. Users sign in and launch the application in any modern browser — no VPN client, no RDP client, no agent.
No. WebStream delivers the specific application rather than a full desktop session, reducing the surface area users can reach.
File upload and download, clipboard, print and PDF, session persistence, and user or shared workspaces are supported and governed by policy.
Start with WebStream Core, the scale-limited evaluation edition — hosted in your cloud or ours, accessed entirely through the browser. Most teams have a working browser session within hours.
