New Partners In UK, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, France And Norway Work With Atlantis ILIO To Accelerate Desktop Virtualisation Opportunities.
Atlantis Computing™, a leader in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) storage and performance optimisation solutions, today announced it has appointed a range of new partners to its VDI Solution Partner Programme in Europe.
New partners include Kelway, Intercept IT, Centralis and Foundation IT in the UK, along with DataSolutions in Ireland, ActivLan in France and Commaxx in Norway. By joining the Atlantis Computing VDI Solution Partner Programme, resellers and distributors will benefit from a unique opportunity to complement their existing VDI offerings with a solution architected to help them grow their business around desktop virtualisation.
The Atlantis ILIO™ software virtual appliance allows customers to reduce the cost of their virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) implementations by cutting the amount of storage normally required as part of any project. Alongside this immediate opportunity to cut spending, Atlantis ILIO boosts performance to ensure user acceptance of virtual desktops and ensures security measures can be deployed without reducing the number of users per server.
The solution is easily deployed by channel partners into existing VMware View, Citrix XenDesktop or Quest vWorkspace deployments to either support more users on the same storage or address ongoing scalability and performance issues.
“We seem to have been at the tipping point for VDI going mainstream for some time, but there have been two major obstacles to overcome: the potentially high storage costs for a customer during an implementation, and issues around ongoing user acceptance,” commented David Cumberworth, Vice President Sales for Northern Europe at Atlantis Computing. “Atlantis ILIO has been designed to solve these problems in a manner that is both simple to implement for partners, and cost-effective for the customer. By taking this approach and complementing the existing VMware, Citrix, and Quest VDI solutions that are on the market, we are helping our channel partners to deliver a lower cost per desktop and drive wider adoption of these technologies.”
Andrew Sellers, Director at Foundation IT said, “We are one of VMware’s Leading Partners for delivering virtual desktop solutions to customers based on VMware View. Working with Atlantis Computing allows us to offer our customers a VDI solution that delivers significant CAPEX savings whilst providing ‘better than PC’ user experience. Bringing VMware View and Atlantis ILIO together means that we can deliver solutions that achieve the operational simplicity and scalability that desktop virtualisation always promised at the same cost of a traditional PC.”
“Centralis is a leading provider of virtualisation solutions, covering the desktop, server and storage platforms. We have chosen to work with Atlantis Computing to enhance our overall service offerings and the value that we are able to deliver to customers through centralising their desktop infrastructure deployments,” said Robert Greenslade, Sales and Marketing Director at Centralis. “The market for VDI is continuing to grow as organisations want to reduce their spending on IT and improve desktop management, and we see Atlantis as a key technology partner to deliver significant cost savings through optimising the customers chosen storage platform whilst delivering a rich user experience for VDI desktops.”
“Intercept IT is one of the UK’s leading cloud computing and virtualisation service providers,” Richard Gilder, CEO at Intercept IT commented. “The market for Virtual Desktops has grown exponentially as organisations reduce their spending on IT, and embrace new strategies such as consumerisation, BYOD and cloud based services. Working with Atlantis will help us to ensure that customers see the results from moving to virtual desktops that they demand, as well as complementing our existing virtualisation partners.”
Atlantis Computing is exhibiting at the following events in Europe:
• VMworld Europe, Copenhagen, October 18th to 20th. Stand 64
• Citrix Synergy, Barcelona, October 26th to 28th. Stand 521.
