> Pano VDS Overview
> The Pano Virtual Desktop Solution (Pano VDS) comprises physical client devices, centralized management software, software services running within each virtual machine, and underlying virtualization infrastructure.
> The Pano VDS enables organizations to centralize user desktop computers inside the IT Data Center. Instead of having user desktops stationed at each user's desk, you can run these desktops as virtual desktops on a server that is hosted inside your data center. The server is based on VMware ESX virtualization platform.
> Users connect to their virtual desktops using Pano® devices and Pano VDS. Pano VDS is software that runs inside the data center. The Pano device is only hardware; it does not run any software.
> The Pano VDS comprises a few main components:

> • | Pano Device - a zero client: it has no CPU, no memory, no operating system, no drivers, no software, and no moving parts. The Pano device connects keyboard, mouse, display, audio and USB peripherals over an existing IP network to an instance of Windows XP or Vista running on a virtualized server.

> • | Pano Manager - Pano Logic's centralized service and web-based management interface that enables administrators to manage the entire virtual desktop installation by integrating with existing directory services and virtual infrastructure managers. Pano Manager also has connection broker functionality. A connection broker integrates with your directory service for user authentication, and is responsible for connecting a Pano device to a user's DVM.

> • | Pano Desktop Service - A lightweight service residing within each virtual machine links peripherals that are attached to the Pano device to the unmodified Windows drivers residing in the virtual machine. This design guarantees that all existing Windows drivers work without modification.

> • | Virtualization Layer - Pano Logic’s system that leverages server-based virtualization software such as VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3.
