Pano System for Cloud is the most cost-effective computing platform available for many businesses, schools, governments and other organizations seeking an alternative to PC-based or thin client models that rely on costly end user software and hardware. The platform centralizes all computing activities in the cloud; end users see a familiar browser interface and use software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions or web-based applications to do their work. Other web-based computing solutions still require endpoint processing, increasing the overall cost by 50 percent over the new Pano System for Cloud, which utilizes a new low cost Pano Zero Client, the G2M. The new platform also strips away costly infrastructure layers including software licensing, expensive SAN or NAS hardware and ongoing operational expenses.

Web-based Computing Migration

There has been an explosion of enterprise software providers extending their solutions onto cloud platforms, offering them as SaaS to meet growing demands. These demands are driven by companies seeking to slash operating expenses and utilize more cost-effective alternatives to building and maintaining their infrastructure. This comes as organizations are developing a growing comfort level with a cloud infrastructure, be it private or public.

Migrating from a PC-based environment to Pano System for Cloud brings the following benefits:

Simplified IT Management - The new platform provides IT managers with centralized desktop controls without the required software and operating systems to manage.

Cost-effective Computing - Pano System for Cloud can reduce cost significantly and work with any Pano powered zero client such as the award-winning zero client cube, a repurposed PC or thin client using Pano Virtual Client Software, or the Fujitsu zero client monitor.

Enhanced Security - Pano System for Cloud eliminates two significant security liabilities, the endpoint device operating system, often the target of malicious code, and the endpoint device storage, where nefarious applications can hide or proprietary information may be kept and lost if the device were stolen. Pano System for Cloud further leverages Google’s Chrome browser, rated in studies as the most secure.

Extending VDI Technology

Pano System for Cloud is an extension of the core technology in Pano System for VDI. Pano’s VDI platform is a complete end-to-end, hardware-and-software virtual desktop solution that independently interoperates with all three leading hypervisors (vSphere, XenServer, Hyper-V) and their management systems (VMware View, XenDesktop, Microsoft SCVMM).

Pano Logic’s endpoint device, the Pano Zero Client, represents the only true zero client desktop virtualization solution on the market. It is a solid-state device that has no processor, no storage, no memory and no operating system. The Pano Zero Client completely eliminates endpoint support and maintenance, fully enabling the benefits of centralized management of a Windows desktop environment and eliminates endpoint dependence in a cloud environment. The small form factor consumes 97 percent less power than PCs, 50 percent less power than thin clients or other so-called zero clients, and do not store data locally, fully eliminating endpoint security liabilities.

Pano System for VDI is suited for organizations that require Windows-based environments but are seeking to dramatically slash the total cost of ownership of computing, simplify end user management and enhance security. Pano System for Cloud is targeted at a range of organizations that require only web-based computing. All Pano zero clients support either environment.
