The VDI Image Provisioning Challenge

VDI approaches to virtual desktop image provisioning enable customers to increase control and reduce operating costs. However, existing approaches also have operational challenges in provisioning the master image that make deploying thousands of virtual desktops challenging. The operational challenges of provisioning and cloning master images resulting in longer lead times to provision large numbers of new virtual desktops.

Atlantis ILIO Image Layering Solution

Atlantis ILIO complements desktop virtualization tools such as connection brokers, profile management tools and application virtualization to help customers provision non-persistent desktops based on a single set of master image components. The Atlantis ILIO image layering solution dynamically assembles each virtual desktop disk image on-demand from core layers containing the operating system and corporate applications without having to clone each virtual machine. The result is that organizatoin can instantly provision thousands of non-persistent virtual desktops.  Unlike other layering technologies that require drivers and degrade desktop performance, Atlantis ILIO does not require any software installed or drivers installed in the virtual desktop image and dramatically increases performance.
