Pano Device

The heart of the Pano System is the Pano Device, a whole new class of desktop computing hardware.  Pano Devices are referred to as "zero clients" because, unlike traditional thin clients, they have no CPU, no memory, no operating system, no drivers, no software and no moving parts.

They simply serve to connect peripheral input-output devices – a keyboard, mouse, VGA display, and audio output – along with other USB peripherals to a virtualized Microsoft Windows desktop operating system running on a server in the data center.

Pano Devices not only help you cut the costs of hardware and IT support - they also conserve electricity, using as little as 3% of the energy consumed by even an EnergyStar certified desktop PC.

Pano Devices connect using the purpose-built Pano Direct Protocol over standard UDP protocols on your Ethernet LAN, along with leveraging your DHCP and Active Directory servers, making them easy to integrate into your existing LAN and security management infrastructure. 

Pano Devices are also stateless – in other words, it does not store anything at all about the user, the desktop virtual machine, or any data used by it. This provides both enhanced data security, since they never contain data that might be lost or stolen, and productivity benefits.   It saves you time shutting down and booting up, and you can immediately resume work with the same set of open applications and files – for example when moving from your office to a conference room to make a presentation or when finishing up work at home in the evening.

The clean and functional design of the Pano Device was created by Whipsaw, one of the world's leading industrial design firms, helping it fit into modern office and public environments unlike bulky PCs.
