19 Impractically Cool Minimalist Objects
In our ongoing efforts to turn the Listicles office into the coolest “new media” work/play funspace, we’ve been shopping around for minimalist chic objects and furniture. At first, all our computers were snazzy Pano Logic units (seen at right alongside its ugly desktop cousin), but after about a week of getting nothing done we decided they might not be the most practical work stations. The Pendulum wall clock we put over the office door wasn’t very popular either, since nobody could tell the time and it took us several months to realize it had run out of batteries. Still, we’re researching some of the other items covered in Cool Material’s listicle of 19 Impractically Cool Minimalist Objects that might be more practical around our office.
Hi Ben,
In a small office environment, Pano replaces traditional PCs with a Pano device (the silver cube that you see in the picture) for each user and a single server that runs everyone’s instance of Windows and applications. The server runs software from VMware and Pano Logic that allow multiple instances of Windows and applications to run and connect with the Pano devices. Everybody can have their own Windows desktop which is completely independent from anyone else’s—-you don’t have to worry about sharing with other users or being affected by what someone else is doing.
From the description of your experience, it sounds like you may be missing the server components and we would be happy to help you get that set up. Since I don’t have your contact information, please contact support@panologic.com and we’ll take it from there.
