It simplifies the deployment and scaling of any desktop virtualization projects, de-risking the traditional challenges associated with managing and maintaining storage at scale. The largest deployments in the world, including some of the largest financial, healthcare, education, and government organizations rely on Atlantis ILIO to de-risk their projects and deliver implementations on time and on budget.

Be a Desktop Virtualization Hero
You can download a free copy of the ILIO Diskless VDI software to validate and test the fast VDI storage optimization solution – the same software that powers some of the largest desktop virtualization deployments in the world.

With a new browser-based installer, you will be able to deploy and configure the patented ILIO software in few minutes. The installer creates the datastore for you, so you can start using the fast ILIO datastore to provision stateless desktops immediately. You will be able to provision up to 10 virtual desktops or up to 25 XenApp sessions.

Download the ILIO solution today to:

• Use the technology that is revolutionizing the biggest VDI deployments in your home lab
• Install in your work lab to benchmark against VDI storage alternatives like server SSD and flash. All you need is one server with 50GB of RAM available.
• Show your management how great VDI can be – for free. Build a POC in-house and be a hero.
• Learn about the most interesting storage technology of this decade – In-memory storage using DRAM. If you thought SSD was the only way to deliver blazing performance, think again.

With this release, IT organizations can now try a free version of ILIO Diskless VDI and XenApp to experience enterprise optimization services that run on existing servers, allowing stateless VDI and virtualized XenApp projects to be initiated without procuring any storage or SSDs.

User Experience, While Meeting Cost and Operations Objectives
Once the optimization benefits are proven in your test environment, we encourage you to consider deploying ILIO at scale for better than PC performance, ensuring user acceptance and adoption. Moreover, ILIO is proven in the largest VDI deployment in the world – 100,000 VMs across more than a dozen data centers – as well as in hundreds of customer engagements across, major industry vertical. The ILIO solution is built to remove the cost and complexity of storage for virtualized environments, simplifying and de-risking deployment and operationalization:

• De-risks the cost and performance of project roll-outs – at any scale
• De-risks scaling – scales linearly with consistent performance with just servers and software
• De-risks network bottlenecks with a solution that eliminates storage network traffic
• Reduces failure domain to a single server instead of 1,000s of users at risk with shared storage
• No need for storage – avoiding additional racks, SSDs, and associated OPEX
• Automated deployment and rapid provisioning to simplify operationalization at any scale
