Pano Logic Reinvents Cloud Computing for the Desktop
New Pano System for Cloud Shifts 100% of the Processing to the Cloud, Delivering Web-Based Computing Through Chrome Browser Sessions
Jun. 27, 2012 06:00 AM
REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/27/12 -- Pano Logic, the leader in zero client desktop virtualization (VDI), today announced Pano System for Cloud, the lowest cost desktop computing platform for organizations moving to web-based applications. Pano System for Cloud eliminates the need for a local operating system and central processing unit and delivers web-based computing, using Google's Chrome browser as the interface.
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, introduced at $149. The new platform also strips away costly infrastructure layers including software licensing, expensive SAN or NAS hardware and ongoing operational expenses.
"Pano Logic is disrupting the economics of enterprise computing and providing a true cloud computing platform for organizations embracing cloud-based productivity applications," John Kish, President and CEO of Pano Logic, said. "For those organizations that don't require a full Windows environment, the transition is seamless with immediate benefits. The end user sees the Chrome browser interface. The IT manager sees a simple management console. The CTO sees staff spending less time managing the desktop. The CIO sees a path to the cloud. And the CFO sees savings adding up."
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 cost as little as $5 per user based on one $999 perpetual server license supporting 200 users, plus 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
"Desktop virtualization started the migration of computing further away from the end user and into the cloud environment," Karin Kelley, analyst at 451 Research, said. "VDI is just one of many ways to do this. By extending their reach to cloud-based data and web applications, Pano Logic can support more use cases with the endpoint device acting as a mere conduit."
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.
Pano System for Cloud is available immediately through Pano Logic's global network of resellers. For more information, visit www.Panologic.com/Pano-System/Cloud.

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.

Reads: 45,913  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

Reads: 2,727  By Liz McMillan One of the most compelling promises of the cloud is that you can pull out a credit card and be working in minutes. No purchase orders to fill out, no equipment to wait for on the loading dock. Just instant access to the resources you need, when you need them. But accessibility comes at a price, and an unintentional consequence may be that you create yet another orphaned identity silo. Enterprise IT has spent years consolidating its mishmash of directories, only to discover that cloud now threatens to turn back their hard-won victories.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Scott Morrison, CTO and Chief Architect at Layer 7 Technologies, will look at strategies to incorporate identity into cloud applications. Enterprise identity or social login can both be a part of your go-to-cloud strategy, but you must plan for this upfront, rather than try to retrofit identity and access control at a later date.

Virtualization Blogs Live By Doug Bonderud  Although often misunderstood, cloud computing ultimately relies on the same technological underpinnings as traditional server and storage options. While software, platforms and even infrastructure are farmed out to third-party providers, their ability to operate efficiently is constrained by the same physical laws as those which govern local server stacks. IT professionals and service providers, therefore, both have a vested interest in making the best use of the physical hardware available – and that means thinking outside the power box.
One of the most-touted benefits of cloud computing is ...

At least, that is how a lot of organizations perceive it. It must be said, in large process-directed organizations, what most of the large corporates are, it can be difficult. Convincing the board and defining where to start could be a daunting task, when in fact the steps that need to be taken are clear and straightforward. This roadmap can help you define and implement the right Big Data strategy.
