applications that use ActiveX controls may not be compatible with Chrome; if so, they will not
work with Pano cloud desktops.
If your users are generally web-based but need occasional access to a Windows desktop or
Windows-based applications they can still work within Pano cloud desktops, using Office 365. See
Accessing Windows Applications for more information.
Endpoints
User can access their applications and documents
in any of three ways, and can switch back and
forth as desired. The three ways are:
• Pano Zero Client, a small hardware unit that
sits on a desktop and connects to a monitor,
keyboard and mouse.
• Pano Virtual Client, software that lets you
temporarily re-purpose a Windows PC to
function as an endpoint.
• Chromebook or Chromebox, third-party products that provide direct Chrome support and
access to all Google Apps and Google docs.
Mobile users can use a Pano Zero Client to take advantage of a large monitor and full-sized
keyboard while working on-site, yet retain the convenient portability of a Chromebook while on
the road. Pano Cloud Desktops inter-operate with Chrome OS devices, such as the Samsung
Chromebook and Chromebox, as both leverage users’ Google accounts to sync and set up the
same desktop settings. Refer to Pano System for Cloud vs. Chrome OS Devices for more
information.
Remote Access and Pano System for Cloud
Pano Remote is not currently supported on Pano System for Cloud. Users who need remote
access can use a Chromebook, or run the Chrome browser on a PC or Mac. This provides them
with the same set of saved apps, extensions, settings, bookmarks, passwords, Cloud Print
printers, etc. as they have in their Pano Cloud Desktop and they will have access to the same set
of cloud services and apps, such as Google Drive and Google Apps for Business.
Accessing Windows Applications
Google provides a web application to the Chrome Browser called Chrome Remote Desktop. Using
this utility you can log in to a Windows, Mac, or Linux system. In particular, you can log into a
virtual Windows OS running in a Pano desktop virtual machine (DVM). To use this capability, you
must install the Chrome browser and the Chrome Remote Desktop application in the Chrome
browser on your Pano DVM or other Windows computer. After you enable it and supply a PIN for
security, the Chromoting Host extension is installed in the DVM. Then, you simply log in using
your Google Account.
From the Pano cloud desktop you’ll need to log in to Chrome using the same Google Account used
in the DVM. Install the Chrome Remote Desktop web application and activate it. You should see
your DVM listed under My Computers - click on it and enter your PIN to login to the DVM and run
