Atlantis Computing
§ Software Company focused on I/O optimization for virtualized environments § HQ in Silicon Valley – Mountain View, CA § Offices in North America, Europe – London, Amsterdam § Partnerships with over 70 resellers globally
§ Venture Capital funded
§ Strategic Relationships with Key Industry vendors § Industry experts on Large Scale Desktop Virtualization Deployments
Atlantis Addresses VDI Costs and User Acceptance
§ Software only! - Complements Citrix, Microsoft and VMware
§ Cuts VDI CAPEX & OPEX – below PC cost! § Use less storage – Over 90% less storage needed
§ Use any storage – Shared SAN/NAS, local disks, or SSDs
§ Deploy with NO storage – Any server with ILIO Diskless VDI
§ Delivers fastest VDI – better than PC, even with iPads
§ Mitigate Operational Risks § Use same infrastructure to move from persistent to stateless desktops § Address Win7 IOPs and A/V issues
§ Software only! Virtual Machine (VM) § VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft Hyper-V § No agents or changes to desktop images
§ Cuts VDI CAPEX & OPEX – below PC cost! § Use less storage – Over 90% less storage needed
§ Use any storage – Shared SAN/NAS, local disks, or SSDs
§ Deploy with NO storage – Any server with ILIO Diskless VDI
§ For Stateless and Persistent deployments
§ Supports Windows XP and Windows 7, Server 2003/2008
§ Accelerates Application Virtualization – ThinApp, App-V, etc.
Atlantis Addresses VDI Costs and User Acceptance

§ Storage IOPS traffic reduction in Compute – up to 90% reduce Windows NTFS IO traffic processed locally to greatly reduce storage traffic
§ Inline Deduplication for VDI Workloads – 90-99% Reduction Deduplicates Windows Image components “on-the-wire” before reaching storage
Atlantis ILIO: Why
Atlantis ILIO Diskless
Server / Blade
§ Scale with servers and software only! à No SAN, No SSD and No drive § NO storage to run desktops à CAPEX below $200/user and low OPEX
§ High performance end-user experience @360 IOPS / user § Simple to set up and scalable on demand
VDI WITH JUST SOFTWARE
Citrix XenDesktop
Or
VMware View And
VMware ESX
Simplest Way to Deploy VDI
§ Simpler design § Eliminates risks in storage sizing and networking § No PCI-e cards or SSD’s to install or support
§ Simpler deployment § ILIO Fast Clone feature provisions a new desktop
– Full Clone every 5 seconds § Go from 0 to 100’s of desktops in just minutes
§ Simpler at scale § No storage to provision, monitor, or maintain § VMware vCenter and Atlantis ILIO Center to manage large
scale deployments

Desktop Density Cisco B230 M2 Blade – 160 virtual desktops per blade Chassis (6U) – 1,280 virtual desktops per chassis Rack (30U) – 6,400 virtual desktops per rack
Atlantis ILIO for XenApp
Bringing benefits of Atlantis ILIO to virtualised XenApp server workloads
§ 97% faster provisioning and 4x faster boot time
§ Provides faster user access to XenApp
§ Increases user density – 16% more
§ Saves on storage – 10x storage user density
