Atlantis Computing: Ilio for VMware Virtual SAN

Atlantis Computing, Inc. has released ILIO for Virtual SAN.

The software solution is proven at scale to deliver enterprise data services to VMware Horizon, increasing the performance of VMs, while supporting up to 10 times more desktops. With VMware Horizon 6 and Virtual SAN it 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.

It will be available from joint channel partners at the suggested price of $50 per user.

Delivering enterprise Optimization Services to VMware Horizon and Virtual SAN
It delivers enterprise optimization services through its in-memory storage technology to extend virtual SAN performance, and support more virtual desktops with fewer disks. VMs run in server memory to deliver performance, while storage traffic is optimized with the patented context-aware IO processing technology, as well as its inline de-dupe, 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%. It delivers optimized software-defined storage for Horizon 6, offering flexibility and cost savings for desktop virtualization.

Atlantis Computing SDS Platform
To date, the company has deployed software to manage and optimize more than 12PB of in-memory storage for more than 600,000 VMs across hundreds of 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.

Atlantis ILIO for VMware Virtual SAN is available.

“We are excited to release Atlantis ILIO for Virtual SAN, our newest software solution designed to bring enterprise data services to VMware Virtual SAN for VDI” said Bernard Harguindeguy, president and 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.“
