MENLO PARK, CA, Mar 02 (MARKET WIRE) —
Pano Logic, the leader in zero client desktop virtualization (VDI), today
announced Fujitsu, a $47 billion global business solutions company, will
integrate Pano Logic’s ground-breaking zero client virtual desktop
technology into a new Fujitsu desktop computing solution. The new Fujitsu
Zero Client delivers dramatic cost of ownership savings, energy
efficiency and security advantages by completely centralizing computing
onto virtualized servers while connecting users through the industry’s
first truly zero client-enabled LCD monitor.
The Fujitsu Zero Client computing platform, which will be orderable in
March, is a comprehensive software and hardware solution for
plug-and-play virtual desktop computing that eliminates the need for a PC
or thin client at the endpoint. IT managers enjoy a simplified
infrastructure, managing all users from a single, centralized control
interface that leverages their VMware infrastructures while end users
access a familiar Windows environment directly through the monitor.
Removing support and maintenance of an endpoint device and replacing it
with a monitor embedded with Pano Logic technology slashes the total cost
of ownership of computing dramatically while providing end users greater
flexibility to access their virtual desktop from any Zero Client monitor
connected to the network.
Embedded in the monitor will be Pano Logic’s zero client technology,
which connects end users to their virtual machines that are 100 percent
centralized on the server. With Pano Logic software operating the
computing resources on the server, there is nothing at the endpoint — no
processor, no operating system, no memory, no drivers, no software and no
moving parts, resulting in absolutely zero endpoint management. No
additional hardware results in a dramatic reduction in energy costs and
demands on the power grid.
“In light of the advances Pano Logic has made in simplifying desktop
virtualization, many of our customers around the world are considering
overhauling their IT in order to reduce cost and complexity,” said Rajat
Kakar, Vice President Clients Group, Fujitsu Technology Solutions. “By
leveraging Pano Logic’s technology, we can provide customers with a
practical and highly effective Zero Client solution that delivers
dramatic savings in roll-out, support and management costs. Our customers
are seeking next-generation technologies that provide them access to
computing over internal, private clouds and ultimately over public clouds
and, together with Pano Logic, we have built a solution to address these
changing needs.”
“We’re delighted Fujitsu has recognized the benefits of true zero client
computing, and what it brings to enterprises. By incorporating the Pano
Logic zero client technology into monitors and fully centralizing desktop
computing, Fujitsu is providing IT managers with a simple virtual desktop
solution that significantly lowers overall total cost of ownership,” said
John Kish, CEO, Pano Logic. “We welcome others to use our open reference
technology to expand customer choice in computing solutions, and
eliminate the need for costly PC infrastructures.”
