Atlantis Computing launches Citrix-integrated software

Atlantis Computing is helping eliminate IT operational complexity, one of the main barriers to virtual workspace adoption, by launching the integration of workspace infrastructure into the Citrix management suite. By combining applications, management and infrastructure into a single workspace platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution, Atlantis makes it easier for any-sized enterprise to deploy and manage virtual workspaces at a lower cost.

Bringing Enterprise Data Services to Containers

Additionally, the company identified similar challenges between managing workspaces and containers based on customer feedback. With this in mind, Atlantis is teaming with Rancher Labs to deliver a fully-automated, software-based solution: a single platform that provides a rich set of data services, provisioning and management of compute, storage and containers.

The convenience of containers for rapid creation of web applications and microservices are offset by the need for storage that lasts beyond the typical container lifespan. Persistent storage and data management tools are critical for enterprise applications. Atlantis is addressing this with plans to extend its unified software-defined storage platform to deploy and manage containerised applications and microservices together with enterprise-class data services for any on-premises or cloud-based environment.

“Businesses require software-driven infrastructure that automatically tailors itself to the application to compete and thrive,” said Chetan Venkatesh, CEO and president of Atlantis. “The workspace today is too much of a jigsaw puzzle of multiple tools and processes in separate IT silos. By folding Atlantis into the Citrix platform and delivering a vision for workspace PaaS, we’re simplifying adoption of virtual desktops and providing cloud-based deployment management and operations that behaves more like a Docker container than a virtual machine.”

Delivering the Best User Experience with New Workspace Capabilities

By integrating Citrix management and automation capabilities with its platform, Atlantis will improve the end-user experience with new workspace capabilities including single-pane management that provides automated, dynamic workspace provisioning, monitoring and analytics-based reporting. Customers can seamlessly extend workspace management to public clouds with integration of Microsoft Azure. They also have the flexibility of deploying the new workspace infrastructure platform in either Atlantis USX SDS or HyperScale appliance configurations to match their business requirements.
