Pano Logic & Unidesk Webinar Slides and Q&A

You mentioned Pano integrates with VMware View - why would I need to use View if Pano comes with a built-in broker?

There are several reasons why organizations typically deploy VMware View in conjunction with Pano Logic zero client devices and Unidesk virtual desktop provisioning and management software, even though Pano Logic has some native brokering capabilities built-in:

  • VMware View supports a diverse set of client devices, enabling users to access their virtual desktops through Pano Logic zero clients, traditional PCs, Apple iPads, and thin clients.
  • VMware View includes PCoIP, a high performance display protocol that ensures delivery of virtual desktops to end users across the LAN or WAN, and is optimized to support demanding applications such as 3D and video.
  • VMware View Premier includes VMware ThinApp application virtualization software, which provides the process isolation and application "sandboxing" capabilities that may be needed to run older and newer versions of the same application on the same virtual desktop, without conflict.
  • VMware View Premier includes vShield Endpoint, which enables customers to offload anti-virus and anti-malware scanning to a dedicated, security-hardened virtual machine. Rather than running these processes over and over on each desktop, vShield runs them once on the dedicated virtual machine to streamline antivirus and anti-malware deployments and improve virtual desktop performance.
  • VMware View Premier includes VMware View Client with Local Mode, which gives end users the flexibility to check out their virtual desktops and use them offline.

When Pano Manager is set up with VMware View, the credentials that users input through the Pano client login screen are automatically passed to VMware View.

Provisioning of the desktop VMs, management of the OS, packaging and delivery of applications, persistence of all user customizations, and storage reduction can all be handled through Unidesk.
