Desktop Virtualization Zero Client

Desktop virtualization is the decoupling of a user's physical machine from the desktop and software that he or she uses to work. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a server-centric computing model that borrows from the traditional thin-client model but is designed to give system administrators and end-users the best of both worlds...the ability to host and centrally manage desktop virtual machines in the server room or data center while giving end users a full PC desktop experience.

Desktop Virtualization benefits include:

Zero is Green. Lower desktop energy use by 97%
Instant provisioning of new desktops
Zero is Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Near-zero downtime in the event of hardware failures
Significant reduction in the cost of new application deployment
Robust desktop image management capabilities
Normal 2-3 year PC refresh cycle extended to 5-6 years or more and since there is no CPU to replace, only updates to the monitor, keyboard and mouse is needed.
Increased security and management.
Lower desk top support needs (no mother board or hard drives to fail and replace)

The Pano Device - a purpose-built VDI device that contains no CPU, no memory, no operating system, no drivers, no software and no moving parts. The Pano Device connects over a local area network to a Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 virtual machine running on a datacenter server.

Pano Manager - Pano Logic's centralized web-based management interface enables administrators to manage the entire virtual desktop deployment.

Pano Direct Service (Pano DAS) - A lightweight service residing within each desktop virtual machine that links the peripherals attached to the Pano Device to the unmodified Windows drivers residing in the desktop virtual machine. This design guarantees that existing Windows drivers and peripherals can be used without customization.

Integrated with Your VMware, Desktop Virtualization Is A Snap

The Pano System runs on top of the virtual infrastructure provided by the VMware ESX or ESXi hypervisors which virtualize server processor, memory, storage and networking resources to run multiple desktop virtual machines, providing greater utilization and increased resilience. Enterprises that are already experienced with VMware Infrastructure 3 or vSphere 4 and have an existing deployment of VMware ESX can install the Pano System software onto their current VMware servers.

Pano Manager also connects to existing directory services like Microsoft Active Directory for user authentication and can optionally integrate with VMware's vCenter Server and View Manager to provide enhanced and highly scalable desktop virtual machine provisioning, management, and connection brokering capabilities.
