Pano Device

The heart of the Pano System is the Pano Device, a whole new class of client computing hardware. Pano Devices are often 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 client hardware and IT support costs - they also conserve electricity, using as little as 3% of the energy consumed by even an EnergyStar certified desktop PC.

Pano Devices connect using standard IP protocols over local area networks via an Ethernet port making them easy to integrate into your existing LAN infrastructure. The Pano Device can be thought of as using the LAN as a long KVM extension cord to connect the display and and other peripherals on the user's desk to the virtualized Windows desktop running on the data center server.

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. The statelessness of the Pano Device provides users with other productivity benefits. For example you can suspend your personal desktop virtual machine attached to one Pano Device and then immediately resume use of it at any other Pano Device or even at a Windows computer using Pano Remote. This saves you time shutting down and booting up, as 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 checking your email or 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.

What customers say:

“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

“Since Pano is a zero client, we just plugged it in and it worked right out of the box. The Pano Logic concept was very simple, so we quickly saw how Pano could replace our other existing desktops.”

Kunal Patel, IT director at Nina Plastics

“Pano virtual desktops have significantly decreased my workload and made it easier for me to implement software changes and updates.”

Derek Niedermayer, Network Support Supervisor at McHenry Savings Bank

“We view Pano Logic’s approach to desktop virtualization as an incredibly revolutionary way for end-users to lower TCO and obtain a number of benefits.”

Jeffrey Slapp, President and CEO of Fairway Consulting Group, Inc.
