Atlantis Computing Wins the Citrix Ready Best of Synergy Award in the Desktop CategoryBARCELONA, SPAIN, Oct 17, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- (Citrix Synergy) -- Atlantis Computing, the leader in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) storage and performance optimization solutions, today announced it has won the Citrix Ready(R) Best of Synergy Award in the desktop category. The winners were announced at Citrix Synergy in Barcelona on, Tuesday, October 16 at the Welcome Reception. Winners were selected by a panel of judges consisting of Citrix executives and product leaders. Finalists for the award were chosen based on technology innovation, customer need and alignment with technical and business initiatives. The Citrix Ready program makes it easy for customers to identify complementary products and solutions that can enhance Citrix environments so that customers can be confident that partner products have successfully passed a series of tests established by Citrix, and can be trusted to work effectively with Citrix products. "We are delighted to have Atlantis Computing selected as a winner of the Citrix Ready Best of Synergy award," said Ranjit Castelino, director, Citrix Ready at Citrix. "We look forward to collaborating with Atlantis Computing to accelerate the adoption of desktop virtualization with affordable deployments and a great user experience." Atlantis ILIO Diskless VDI is the only solution in the industry to enable stateless VDI deployments without the need for traditional virtual desktop storage, which normally represents 40% to 60% of the total cost of a deployment. SSDs, SSD-based storage arrays, SAS and SATA drives are completely eliminated from Citrix XenDesktop(R) deployments. Atlantis ILIO uses only the local server RAM as storage for the virtual desktop images -- delivering a better than PC user experience and greatly decreasing CAPEX and all storage-related OPEX, including power, cooling and the cost of maintaining and repairing storage devices. In addition, Atlantis ILIO provides fully automated installation, storage sizing, configuration and datastore creation. Deploying stateless desktops has never been so simple or so economical. "Our customers have found tremendous value in the Citrix Ready program," said Bernard Harguindeguy, CEO, Atlantis Computing. "We are thrilled to be selected as a Best of Synergy winner based on our contribution to the Citrix ecosystem. We have been working closely with Citrix and their customers for years and recently published the Citrix XenDesktop Modular Reference Architecture with Atlantis ILIO Diskless VDI to provide a simple blueprint for deployments."
