Pano Logic Virtualization
Pano is purpose-built for server-based desktop
virtualization. Moving all software off the desktop to the
server, the Pano device has no CPU, no memory, no operating
system and no drivers. Using functionality enabled by server
virtualization, Pano delivers not only a complete Microsoft
Windows experience, including full USB support, but also a new
set of high-value features not available with desktop PC and
thin client architectures.
70% reduction in TCO
By moving all software off the desktop and onto the server,
Pano reduces desktop TCO by 70 percent-saving $3200 per desktop
over three years.
- Pano desktop devices have no software, so they require no
software updates
- Physical visits to the desktop endpoint by IT personnel are
eliminated
- Software installations and upgrades are performed centrally
- Server virtualization efficiently shares hardware across the
entire user population
- Malware on the client is not possible because Pano has no
software
- Pano consumes only 5 watts - 3% of a typical PC - making it
the ultimate green alternative
Pano boosts end user productivity by reducing downtime and
providing fast, automated recovery from application errors.
Going beyond today's desktop
Using functionality enabled by server virtualization, Pano
provides high-value features not offered by Windows. With a single
touch of the Pano Button™, the user may choose from a set of
actions that instantly solve painful desktop management problems.
The Pano Button can be configured by IT or solution providers to
orchestrate services provided by the server platform. Examples of
configurable Pano Button actions are:
- Rolling back from a corrupted Windows instance to a known
good instance
- Switching between virtual machines set up with software for
different job functions
The Pano Button symbolizes Pano Logic's rethinking of desktop
computing to take full advantage of virtualization, going beyond
Windows to provide a superior user experience.
Strong security at the desktop
Because it has no software, the Pano zero client design
provides a completely secure desktop that is immune to viruses and
other malware. Pano gives IT centralized access control to all USB
ports. Pano security features include:
- USB security - granular access control can be set
easily based on user and type of peripheral. Specific
operations can be blocked, allowed, or recorded as needed.
- Information leakage prevention - locally connected
storage can be disabled to prevent users from copying
information to local devices, including any USB devices.
- Network security - Traffic is protected using 128-bit
AES encryption.
Complete turnkey solution
The Pano solution comprises Pano desktop devices, Pano software
services and VMware virtualization software running on servers,
plus comprehensive technical support covering the entire solution.
For customers new to virtualization or looking for an entry-level
solution, Pano includes an installer that sets up the entire
software suite-including VMware Server-to deploy a virtualized
desktop architecture in minutes. Pano sets up a fresh installation
of VMware Server automatically, avoiding a complicated bare-metal
install. For customers already using virtualization software, Pano
can be installed on top of an existing VMware ESX deployment. Pano
is the fastest, most convenient way to server-based desktop
virtualization. |
