About Atlantis ILIO Persistent VDI
Atlantis ILIO Persistent VDI™ delivers desktops that are cheaper and faster than physical PCs. It uses ILIO In-Memory VDI™ technology to deliver persistent virtual desktops that run using only server RAM as primary storage, eliminating the traditional requirement for large amounts of expensive, high-performance storage. Virtual desktops now run from server RAM, delivering a fantastic user experience that drives virtual desktop acceptance across your organization. The solution uses a small amount of shared SAN/NAS storage – up to 95% less – to maintain a real-time optimized backup to ensure complete data protection and availability.

In addition, Atlantis ILIO Persistent VDI allows you to get started with desktop virtualization immediately without having to invest in complex application virtualization, transform your desktop images, or reorganize the way you manage desktops. Atlantis ILIO allows you to use your existing images, as well as your current physical desktop processes and tools to upgrade, update and patch all virtual desktops
