Pano Logic device offers more desktop virtualisation options

He said that the new device incorporated many requests from clients, particularly with regards to voice over IP, "VoIP was something that was much requested. They wanted to be able to use headphones with the appliances. Should the contingency arise," he added, "clients will be able to use dual monitors for the first time and we have as well introduced a fourth USB port."

Pano Logic's zero client approach has been warmly praised by analysts. "For years, clients have hesitated to embrace desktop virtualisation during the major vendors battle over protocols, standards and architectures that force companies to lock into a vendor instead of a business strategy," said John Abbott, chief architect of The 451 Group. "Pano Logic removes most of this customer risk and complexity with its zero client open architecture approach.
