Successful desktop projects depend on making everyone happy
IT Organization• Simplify operations and avoid PC refresh• Proven and reliable, easy to manage• High availability and disaster recovery
Users• Enable user mobility and BYOD• Provide better-than-PC user experience• Allow access anywhere and anytime
Chief Financial Officer• CAPEX cost lower than a PC• Tangible datacenter OPEX costs reduction• Lower risk with no hidden costs

Virtual Desktop Challenges & Risks
Costs and Complexity of storage and networking infrastructure
Need for high availability and rapid recovery from failure and natural disasters
Delivering a User Experience that is equal
or better-than-PC
Deployment Risks that derail VDI
projects
Managing VDI at Scale – tens of
thousands of desktops

The Virtual Desktop Storage Trap
“The No. 1 challenge associated with any SHVD [VDI] project, is the lack of storage planning resulting in
higher-than-expected storage costs.”
“Today, storage represents 40% to 60% of the SHVD
budget and, in many cases,
is a barrier to entry.”

VDI Cost By Component
“Cost should be carefully
balanced with user experience.”

Persistent VDI – Cost Per Desktop (1,000 user example)
Challenges Traditional Persistent VDI Atlantis ILIO Persistent VDI
Cost Per Desktop More Expensive Than a PC $1,000-$2,000 to equal PC performance
Cheaper than a PC!Cut CAPEX/OPEX up to 80%
Virtually unlimited IOPS of RAM
70% Reduction in Storage Costs$800K+ in Storage Savings
Cost Per Desktop under $300

Virtual Desktops – Deployment Time
Challenges Traditional VDI Atlantis ILIO VDI
Deployment Time 6 months to yearsComplexity leads to project delays
Go live in weeks!Automated deployment
“Within two weeks of contacting Atlantis Computing, we deployed 1,400 virtual desktops using Atlantis ILIO deliver a significantly faster desktop experience.”
Andrew Rice, Global Head of ITBLP (Berwin Leighton Paisner)
“IT organizations must carefully plan and size the storage infrastructure to avoid SHVDdeployment failures.”
