Atlantis USX

Briefing

August 2014
David Leathers
Global Solutions Architect
At Atlantis, were engaged
in a resistance movement
against traditional data
storage.

The New Order of Storage Freedom

All-Flash Hyper-Converged Storage

10X more IOPS than competitive hyper-converged

appliances

80+% lower cost per GB than All-Flash Arrays

Proven 25+PB of deployed production Atlantis storage
The performance of All-Flash at half the cost of SAN
3
Core Atlantis USX 2.0 features
Virtualize any application on any server with any storage system

Any workload (desktop, server, cloud VMs) on any storage (SAN, NAS, DAS or Cloud )

Decouple storage from all applications including performance intensive workloads

Increased Datacenter Flexibility Policy-based controls deliver optimal storage volumes

based on capacity, performance and availability required by each application

Pool RAM or Flash to drive peak performance for any VM even with lower tier storage

Intelligent and push button automation for deployment and fast provisioning of all VMs
