Why is it called that way? –Because it is indeed a thin client solution but following the zero client architecture. This refers at the fact that it uses the software from a central server and integrates no processor, no memory and no operating system.

It’s the simplest computer in the world in the smallest form factor, and sports a cool metallic finish giving the impression of a very lightweight chrome metal box blending into surroundings.
Developed by Pano Logic to be used mostly in closed network environments, the Zero Client Computer measuring 3.5 x 2 inches is easy to maintain at lowest costs and also increases the data security.




Whipsaw, an industrial design company from the United States created the overall design in such a way that the Zero Client Computer consumes only 3% energy and 4% of the manufacturing material.
It is a thin client solution that connects to your keyboard, mouse, monitor, audio devices or USB devices within the same network.

For this innovative idea, it received the Best of the Best Award at the Red Dot Product Design 2008, chosen among 49 products from 3,200 design entries, and was reviewed by many specialized magazines. The criteria included the innovation degree, functionality, ergonomics, longevity, ecological compatibility and function clarity.




"Zero client technology is so simple and pure by nature, especially where it touches the end user. It is fitting that the design of the device itself should also have this extreme simplicity. It is a 'zero client' so I wanted it to be a 'zero design'", said Dan Harden, president of Whipsaw and designer of the Pano Virtual Desktop Client. "The product needed to get out of the way - computing is already too complicated. Pano's monolithic block shape provided this simplicity but also simultaneously gives it power, and even makes reference to its boxy ancestors. Beyond its form, Pano has a mirror finish on every surface, which reflects the environment around it, almost blending into the desktop, making it even more diminished or more zero. This combination of austere form, heavy weight (all metal housing), tiny size, and ever-changing reflective surfaces gives Pano a transcendent and futuristic quality, which is what Pano is all about."
