When combined with Citrix XenDesktop or Citrix XenApp, the platform delivers a rich application experience, optional 3D virtual desktops and a total infrastructure cost per desktop as low as $187 per desktop including the server hardware, local flash storage and Atlantis USX software.
At the heart of the Atlantis USX platform are patented HyperDup™ Content-Aware Data Services that leverage Atlantis real-time deduplication technology to provide data reduction, IO acceleration,data management, data mobility, security and business continuityacross all datacentre storage. Atlantis inline deduplication and IO acceleration technology enables customers to increase the storage capacity and performance by up to 10 times, delivering a superior user experience at up to 75 percent lower cost.


Atlantis USX provides:
· Simplicity – Automated deployment capabilities integrated with Citrix XenServer to deploy hyper-converged systems on any x86 server hardware, drastically reducing the amount of time to deploy Citrix XenDesktop or XenApp.
· Cost Reduction – All-flash performance and 4x the storage capacity of competitive hardware appliances at a 75 percent lower cost per gigabyte of storage.
· User Experience – The performance of an all-flash array through Atlantis HyperDup IO accelerationtechnology. Up to 90 percent of IO is processed in-memory lowering latency and increasing IOPS, providing an excellent user experience with near-instant session starts, fast application launches, and Outlook search capabilities.
Scalability and Hardware Flexibility – The flexibility to use any x86 server platform including 4-node appliances, rack servers or blade servers – Atlantis USX automatically deploys the required Atlantis components to create a hyper-converged system. Unlike other hyper-converged appliances, Atlantis USX customers can combine different server and disk configurations using new or existing servers, as well as existing SAN/NAS storage.
