Atlantis Computing Releases ILIO for Virtual SAN 

Atlantis Computing today announced it has released a new product, Atlantis ILIO for Virtual SAN. The 100% software solution is proven at scale to deliver enterprise-class data services to VMware Horizon, dramatically increasing the performance of VMs, while supporting up to 10 times more desktops. Atlantis ILIO with VMware Horizon 6 and Virtual SAN can deliver better desktop performance than a MacBook Air, reduce the cost per virtual desktop to less than a PC, and deliver increased deployment flexibility with off-the-shelf servers and local storage. Atlantis ILIO for Virtual SAN will be available from joint channel partners at the suggested price of $50 per user.

Atlantis ILIO delivers enterprise-class optimization services through its In-Memory Storage technology to extend Virtual SAN performance, and support more virtual desktops with fewer disks. With Atlantis ILIO, VMs run in server memory to deliver incredible performance, while storage traffic is optimized with Atlantis Computing’s patented context-aware IO processing technology, as well as its inline de-duplication, compression, and coalescing optimization services to reduce the amount of underlying storage required to support the VMs. In joint Atlantis ILIO with Virtual SAN benchmarks, these optimization services increased performance by up to 5x, while reducing capacity by up to 90%. Atlantis ILIO for Virtual SAN delivers optimized software-defined storage for Horizon 6 with VSAN, offering new levels of flexibility and cost savings for desktop virtualization.

To date, Atlantis Computing has deployed software to manage and optimize more than 12 Petabytes of In-Memory Storage for more than 600,000 VMs globally across hundreds of mission critical deployments, including some of the largest successful virtualization deployments in the world. Customers include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii, Colt Technology Services, Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft, Hammersmith and Fullham Council, JP Morgan Chase, University Hospitals of Leicester, U.S. Army, Washington Trust Bank, and over 500 others.

“We are thrilled to release Atlantis ILIO for Virtual SAN, our newest software solution designed to bring enterprise-class data services to VMware Virtual SAN for VDI” said Bernard Harguindeguy, President & CEO, Atlantis Computing. “VMware Horizon 6, VMware Virtual SAN and Atlantis ILIO for Virtual SAN enable customers to build high performance VDI architectures that deliver incredible user experience at very low cost through the use of off-the-shelf storage and server components.”
