Pano Logic Computer

[Ahmad]

If you think that even the Mac mini has too many bells and whistles then you’ll appreciate the Pano Logic Computer. It literally fits in the palm of your hand, doesn’t have any disk drives, or even a hard drive and processor. We’re not really sure how it works, but we think some kind of voodoo may be involved. (Actually, all of the real computing is done off site somewhere which is subscription based) $300

The challenge with Pano is the limited desktop performance - video and graphics. While better than plain RDP, it is a compromised experience compared to a PC at the user desk.

There is another solution that provides and un-compromised user experience and that is PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology.

To be truly cost effective a Zero client needs to be able to handle any user type in an enterprise - from terminal/task workers, mainstream office users and power users that may require full DVI resolutions and full frame rate 3D graphics. This is what PCoIP delivers.

Check out this Zero Client that is an all-in-one display that Samsung just announced (SyncMaster 930ND) it supports VMware View (aka VDI) and PCoIP to be forward compatible when Vmware VIew integrates PCoIP technology (see vmware announcement with Teradici at the Sept08 Vmworld)

Here is a demo of the user performance including HD video and 3D graphics. Go to Youtube and search PCoIP.

For full disclosure, I am the Director of Business Development at Teradici.
