Time to rethink the desktop
Today's PC architecture does not take advantage of the benefits of virtualization. Over the last five years, server computing has been revolutionized through virtualization, both reducing operating costs and creating valuable new capabilities. Pano's vision is to use server-based virtualization to bring the same level of value and innovation to the desktop. In doing so, Pano has taken a "clean slate" approach to designing a new desktop computing model. This next-generation architecture requires not only virtualization, but also a completely different desktop device. The result is a radically different architecture that makes IT more effective and gives users a superior Microsoft Windows™ experience.
Server-based desktop virtualization is widely heralded as the "next big thing in virtualization". Citrix recently acquired start-up XenSource for $500M in pursuit of this market; Microsoft has recently announced new licensing schemes for server-hosted desktops, along with its intention to aggressively support this new model; VMware, the market leader in server virtualization, is aggressively developing this market with its Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). But there remains a problem: the existing desktop PC and thin client architectures were not designed for this new model of server-based desktop computing. Worse, these legacy architectures defeat the benefits of desktop virtualization. If the desktop is running on the server, why place another operating system on the desktop just to connect to the server?
Pano's innovation: The all hardware, no software desktop
Pano's solution to the unnecessary desktop software is a 100% hardware client that has no CPU, no memory, no operating system, and no software, so it requires zero maintenance and has no security risks. Combined with server-based virtualization, Pano delivers a superior Windows experience.
