The US startup Pano Logic, offering a complete VDI platform made of a software connection broker and a hardware thin client, has just appointed its new President and CEO: John Kish.

Kish can really boost the company popularity as he comes from one of the most popular thin client vendor: Wyse Technologies.

Kish also has a notable experience with Oracle: when he was a senior manager there he established the company's presence on the desktop. Under Kish's leadership, Oracle's Desktop Products Division grew to over 400 employees and over $400M in revenues.

Maybe the first step under his control will be supporting Oracle VM, which Gartner says it’s becoming more popular than Microsoft Hyper-V.

At its conference VMworld 2008 in Las Vegas last month, VMware previewed the next phase of its virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technologies announcing it as VMware View.

On stage Steve Herrod, the company’s CTO, unveiled a partnership with the startup Teradici to develop a more efficient remote desktop protocol.
It seems that this may be not enough, maybe because of the time needed to have a commercial product, so VMware took some extra steps to boost Microsoft RDP performance today.

The company signed a license agreement with the thin computing vendor Wyse Technologies to use its technologies TCX-MMR (for multimedia) and TCX-MDS (for multi-display) to enhance the virtual desktop experience in VMware View products.
