Abtech Systems, a provider of enterprise technology solutions, has teamed with manufacturing vendor partner Pano Logic to introduce The Pano System, the greener answer to tedious desktop replacement and maintenance.
Abtech, along with VMware and Pano Logic, can help companies simplify their computing infrastructure and reduce or eliminate costs for any organization. Pano Logic brands itself as the leader in zero client desktop virtualization (VDI). Its solutions are gaining a rapid following because they are radically changing desktop computing by centralizing everything – desktop management, support, and the user experience – on the server.
Executives and business managers agree that one of the most significant burdens to an IT budget is the ongoing purchase, maintenance and lifecycle management of desktop & laptop computers. Abtech solves the problem by designing a virtual desktop solution that will significantly reduce common IT issues, providing a business with a better computing experience plus greater financial benefits.
In most organizations the Pano Logic solution can be deployed in under an hour. It eliminates the complexity and overhead of endpoint devices, which can comprise 80 percent of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of thin clients, with a zero client that contains no processor, operating system, storage, drivers, nor any moving parts. By removing processing power from the endpoint, Abtech can eliminate endpoint security breaches, and drastically reduce energy consumption.
The Pano Logic device redefines green technology. At less than three watts per user, zero clients consume 97 percent less than even the most energy efficient PCs and weigh less than 16 ounces, and last seven to 10 years, compared to the average 15-pound PC that lasts three to five years, resulting in a dramatic reduction in e-waste.
Abtech expects its Pano Logic virtual desktop solution to be a hit among middle market organizations in health care, education, law, government, manufacturing, banking, and especially to companies that are subject to HIPAA and Sarbannes-Oxley compliance. Abtech can help these organizations achieve dramatic savings and benefits without the need for specialized IT competencies and staff. Thanks to Abtech, IT managers are able to deliver end users a familiar Windows experience while providing them with greater uptime and mobility to access their desktops from any zero client on the network.
Abtech offers its customized virtual desktop solution throughout its network of 18 service offices across the U.S. Abtech offers 7x24x365 support and a full compliment of maintenance and support services, which includes hardware and software maintenance, on site or remote consulting, disaster recovery, data center relocation, training, performance analyses, and capacity planning.
“Zero client” sounds like a step backward to dumb terminals to me…
“a zero client that contains no processor, operating system, storage, drivers, nor any moving parts.”
To me that sounds like you won’t be able to do much of anything that a modern PC user expects.
Secure, maybe… “Green”, sure… Practical… well, possibly for some specialized organizations, but not really for mainstream usage.
This is a comment for Lyle Macbride:
You have not tested this appliance. Not for home users, this zero client really worth it’s price in gold. This little metal box is for the enterprise.
You save not only in space, hardware, software, electricity bill among others; response is fast, IT personal is rarely required once eveyting is set. Should a process stop by any reason… you just push the only button on pano top and everything is on again. You must see it to believe it.
