Pano Logic Unveils Windows Native VDI Solution

November 17, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Pano Logic, developer of a server-based desktop virtualization solution, today announced Pano Virtual Desktop Solution (VDS) 2.5. The new release is the first desktop virtualization solution to optimize the Windows user experience without using the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which eliminates the dependence on Microsoft Terminal Services technology and provides native session support for Windows applications, video, and audio interfaces and native USB device drivers.

These new capabilities are available through Console Direct, a new technology in Pano VDS 2.5 that plugs directly into the Windows OS to deliver a fully native experience. In addition, new capabilities for Pano Manager improve IT’s ability to maintain and support virtual infrastructure through quick and easy role-based access for the help desk.

New features in Pano VDS 2.5 include:

  • Native Console Support — offering the ability via Console Direct to allow the Windows desktop to use its native interfaces for video, audio and USB devices. While other technologies use a Terminal Server Session with RDP, which doesn’t have access to all Windows native interfaces and therefore detrimentally affects user experience and device support, Console Direct enables the use of native drivers such as touch screens and smart boards that must communicate with the console session. Only Pano VDS allows the deployment of these interactive devices while maintaining zero management at the end-point.
  • Internet Video — delivering support of native video, audio and USB device drivers directly from the Windows operating system, ensuring quality video replay with any codec (including Adobe Flash Video) with no tearing and tight audio video synchronization.
  • Quick and easy role-based access through Active Directory — providing help desk staff the ability to have view-only access to the Pano Manager to look at alerts, statistics and connection status to quickly troubleshoot and resolve customer requests.

These new features further enhance the robust capabilities that are already a part of Pano VDS. Purpose-built from the ground up, the Pano Logic approach is to provide a zero management client and leverage a customer’s VMware server virtualization infrastructure to deliver a complete Windows desktop environment. Pano VDS can be installed in less than 60 minutes, and is centrally managed from the data center.

Pano VDS 2.5 is now available with pricing starting at $300 for a single Pano desktop.

Another Virtualization Company Raises Funding; This Time Pano Logic Is Getting $ 12 Million

January 29, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

After Virtual Iron and CiRBA , it’s now Pano Logic announcing fresh funding to the tune of $ 12 million. This is the desktop virtualization company’s second round, which was led by New York-based Goldman Sachs.

Other participants included Foundation Capital, which has an office in Menlo Park (where Pano Logic is based).

The company said it uses existing server virtualization technologies to create a new approach to client/desktop computing that lowers total cost of ownership while increasing security, management and mobility.

Founded in 2006, Pano Logic also has an office in Toronto, Canada.
