Pano Logic has been offering desktop virtualization products since 2007 if my memory serves me well. Their take on desktop virtualization is based upon a a cute little box having ports for a monitor, keyboard, mouse and other things, called a Zero Client. The high level view is that the Pano device largely does what a thin client does. There is no customer installable software running in this device, however. Pano just launched version 2.6 of their product and added a way to remotely access virtual desktops.
As this graphic from their Website shows, the Pano device communicates with the Pano Desktop Service which, in turn, works with the Windows operating system.
What’s new in version 2.6?
Here’s how Pano Logic presents version 2.6:
Pano Logic®, the leader in centralized virtual desktops, today announced the newest addition to their product line, Pano Remote, as well as a new version of their flagship product, Pano System 2.6. With the easy to carry Pano Remote USB key, users can now access their Pano managed virtual desktops conveniently and securely when working out of the office away from their Pano devices—without requiring a costly or complex VPN solution. New features of Pano System 2.6 include integration with Pano Remote, easier installation of the Pano Manager virtual appliance using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF), a new interface called the Collection Creation Wizard for easier configuration of policies for provisioning and managing desktop virtual machines, the ability for administrators to control virtual desktop power state directly from the Pano Manager administrator console, graphic identification and authorization (GINA) application interoperability and standalone VMware ESXi support for small single-server deployments.
