Pano Logic and STL Technologies Unveil Zero Client Architecture at BETT 2010

Radically Innovative Desktop Virtualisation Technology Available on Stand W62

London – January 12, 2010 – Pano Logic, the leader in zero client desktop virtualisation, will be appearing at the BETT show alongside Premier Partner STL Technologies offering academic institutions an easy to use PC or thin client replacement. By radically centralising all computing power to the virtualised server, the Pano System eliminates the burden of managing the endpoint, while simultaneously removing endpoint security breaches, reducing energy consumption, and dramatically reducing academic institutions’ overall total cost of ownership. Pano Logic’s zero client devices reduce energy consumption by 97% over PCs, and are already providing dramatic energy savings in classrooms throughout North American universities.

The Pano zero client devices are purpose built for virtualisation and provide students and faculty with a full and dynamic user experience, while eliminating IT staff time spent managing complex thin client environments. Pano Logic truly delivers on the promise of VDI and the future of desktop computing. The solution is radical, simple and complete.

When faced with budget cuts and over-stretched IT staff, Pano Logic works with educational institutions’ existing virtual infrastructure to provide desktop virtualisation technologies that improve IT productivity and reduce provisioning delays and energy costs. Other benefits of the system include improved desktop uptime, savings on the cost of buying expensive software and replacing PCs, and a more efficient student and faculty experience.

The University of Maryland deployed Pano Logic to streamline the management of their lab environments. Describing the benefits of Pano to the education sector, Pano Logic user Jeff Cunningham, director of information systems, Dept. of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AREC), University of Maryland, says: "The simplicity of the Pano System is extremely appealing to me I provisioned my virtual desktops and started using our new Panos within a couple of hours. I've found Pano to be a great time saver, especially because it's a lot easier to drop in a single server to benefit forty people than going out and buying forty traditional PCs."

Richard Perkins, sales and marketing director of STL Technologies says: “We are seeing considerable demand and interest for virtual desktop technologies from organisations that understand the cost-savings to be made. The interest from our customer comes from the fact that the Pano System is the easiest to use and the most energy efficient desktop virtualisation system on the market today. We look forward to unveiling the technology at BETT.”

Chris Hammans, managing director, EMEA of Pano Logic says: “Over the past 12 months, the education sector in North America has been installing Pano Logic systems enthusiastically. Many schools, universities and colleges are now enjoying the significant returns on investment and the easy to manage, more efficient IT provided by the Pano System. Pano Logic launched in the UK last October and we look forward to bringing the same benefits to the UK alongside our public sector specialist partner STL Technologies.”

BETT, the world’s largest educational technology event takes place from 13 to 16 January 2010 at Olympia in London, UK. Pano Logic will be appearing on the STL Technologies stand W62. For more information about BETT visit: www.bettshow.com

“One of the main reasons we chose Pano was due to the versatility of the device. Financial instituations use serial printers which are not supported by most other virtual desktops solutions but we were able to make it work with the Pano solution.”

Bryan Nash, SVP of Information Technology at McHenry Savings Bank

“Our users have been up and running quickly, and have benefited from the fact that the Pano devices just work and don’t require the same amount of maintenance as PCs.”

Derek Niedermayer, Network Support Supervisor at McHenry Savings Bank

“Before the Pano solution our training room could take a half to a full day for two people to deploy. We needed a way to make the process a lot faster and the Pano virtual desktops did just that.”

Nathan Pingel Network Manager at Baker Hill

"What appeals to me with Pano is the simplicity of the solution. I basically provisioned my virtual desktops and was able to start using our new Panos literally within a couple of hours."

Jeff Cunningham Director of Information Systems AREC Department University of Maryland

“There were many features that attracted me to the Pano device. Two of the main ones are that it was the most cost-effective solution on the market, and it easily integrated with our existing virtualization infrastructure.”

Derek Niedermayer, Network Support Supervisor at McHenry Savings Bank

“We chose Pano due to the versatility of the device. Financial institutions use serial printers which are not supported by most other virtual desktop solutions, but we were able to make it work with the Pano solution.”

Brian Nash, SVP of information technology at McHenry Savings Bank
