The award–winning Atlantis ILIO solution is purpose built to remove the cost and complexity of storage for virtualised environments, simplifying and de-risking deployment and operationalisation:
· De-risks the cost and performance of project roll-outs – at any scale
· De-risks scaling – scales linearly with consistent performance with just servers and software
· De-risks network bottlenecks with a solution that eliminates storage network traffic
· Reduces failure domain to a single server instead of 1,000s of users at risk with shared storage
