Ready Informatica Distributing Atlantis Computing

Ready Informatica srl has
signed a distribution agreement with Atlantis
Computing Inc., in data center storage optimization solutions.

Atlantis ILIO storage optimization software enables
Ready Informatica and its channel partners to deliver VDI solutions that are
cheaper and faster than PCs using any server brand and any type of storage
expanding the VDI market to more customers.

Channel partners that integrate Atlantis ILIO software into their desktop
virtualization offering will increase hardware and services revenues, and grow
profit margins, while delivering solution to their VDI customer to address
existing issues or selling new VDI implementations that are high performance,
low cost and manageable at scale.

Desktop virtualization hides several pitfalls mainly because the client OSs are
not designed to be run in virtualized environments. Storage is
the largest component impacted both in terms of capacity and I / O requests,
often these two elements restricting the adoption of VDI solution or involve
investment such as to make the virtual desktop uneconomical.

Atlantis ILIO:

• Allows to provide users with a virtual PC
• Storage-based solution is not to make efficient VDI environments
• Possibility of making more dense VDI environments already in production, up to
  quadruple the number of VMs
• Reduction of human errors made in the design phase
• Migration from VM persistent to stateless without infrastructure changes
• HA and DR to recover thousands of desktops within a datacenter or across
  datacenters.

"Atlantis Computing is a natural choice
for us and a perfect fit to complement our Citrix VDI offering. Atlantis Computing
is behind the largest and most successful desktop virtualization deployments in
the world and has more than tripled its customer base over the past year. Our
channel partners can leverage Atlantis Computing’s unique storage optimization
software to improve the quality of their VDI offerings, increase their profit
margins and grow the number of installations by breaking down the typical
barriers for VDI adoption: performance, user experience and storage cost,"
says Marco Lorefice, Ready Informatica marketing director.

ILIO, which won Best of VMworld in Europe and the US, and Best of
Synergy Citrix optimizes how virtual desktops use data center storage. The
software reduces the amount of storage needed for each user, boosts desktop
performance and reduces deployment risks. ILIO is a solution that enables the deployment of VDI
with no physical storage. Deployments use server RAM as primary storage leading
to a better-than-PC user experience at a lower cost, all while automating installation, storage sizing and datastore creation to reduce
implementation risks and deliver working deployments faster.

Alex De Berti, director of sales for Italy, Atlantis Computing, says: "I am delighted to announce the partnership
with Ready Informatica, who has been instrumental in bringing Citrix products
to the Italian market. The desktop virtualization trend is as strong as ever
and rapidly expanding in Italy. Atlantis ILIO allows partners to offer desktop
virtualization projects at a lower cost with better performance than a
traditional PC, which increases customer demand for VDI. We are looking forward
to our continued growth and expansion in the Italian market and leveraging the
expertise and partner network of Ready Informatica to be able to accelerate the
adoption of VDI in Italy."
