Atlantis ILIO Overview
October 2012
Atlantis ComputingSoftware Company focused on I/O optimization for virtualized environments HQ in Silicon Valley Mountain View, CA
Proven technology VC funded by
Strategic Relationships with Key Industry vendors
Industry experts on right-sized VDI deployments
Ensure we mention how we are moving into server optimization2
Atlantis Addresses VDI Costs and User AcceptanceSoftware only! Complement Citrix, Microsoft and VMwareCuts VDI CAPEX & OPEX below PC cost!Use less storage Over 90% less storage neededBetter performance x10 more IOPSUse any storage Shared SAN/NAS, local disks, or SSDsOr deploy with NO storage Any server with ILIO Diskless VDIDelivers fastest VDI better than PC, enabling BYODUse the same infrastructure for stateless and persistent deploymentsSupports Windows XP and Win 7, Server 2008Mitigate Operational RisksAddress boot storms, provisioning, Win7 IOPs and A/V issues

Overview Hit performance issues with SAN needed better than a PC ILIO provides huge performance improvements no further storageOverview Initial 10,000 users for internal use and Desktop-as-a-Service Completely diskless architecture for lowest cost and best performanceExisting Customers
Overview Established Customer, 65,000 users in production Cost effective, high performance solution without Shared StorageRelevant CustomersOverview Strategic Engagement for Desktop Transformation Global VDI initiative for 40,000 users4IOPs Causing virtualization projects to failBootSCCMUpdateAVScanSteadyStateWindows Characteristics:Average I/O hides a multitude of sinsSmall 4K BlocksSteady State IOPs profile 80% Write, 20% ReadHighly Random I/OStorage Considerations:Aggregate and Peak I/OBoot and Logon StormsRAID Level = PENALTY!Disk Latency / ContentionRoutine tasks require lots of storage disks to process Compounded problem when 100s of desktops are all contending for centralized storageYour SAN is being killed buy 1000s of pin pricksSAN/NAS have higher latency than local hard driveVDI workloads can impact on business critical applications also using SAN/NAS
