Can a Nirvana Phone with VDI and Atlantis ILIO Replace Your PC?
Atlantis Computing, the leader in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) storage and performance optimization solutions, today announced that Jim Moyle, Lead Northern Europe Solutions Consultant for Atlantis Computing, will be delivering a session at BriForum Europe to present test data establishing how critical IOPS are to Windows 7 virtual desktops’ performance and to show how to dispel some of the myths behind sizing VDI storage in order to deliver a better user experience than a physical PC.
On May 13th, Jim Moyle will also be delivering the keynote at PubForum where he plans to demonstrate the user experience of a “Nirvana Phone” accessing a Windows 7 desktop via VDI software from Citrix together with the Atlantis ILIO optimization software to boost its performance.

“Even though Windows 7 migration projects drive many VDI deployments, many customers are still unaware of the incredible amounts of storage needed to achieve the equivalent desktop performance of a physical PC,” said Jim Moyle, Lead Northern Europe Solutions Consultant, Atlantis Computing. “At BriForum, I will be presenting test data that illustrate the relationship between storage throughput and desktop performance and I will explain how to size VDI storage to achieve optimum desktop performance.”
Windows IOPS Deep Dive: What IOPS Means to You and Why You Can't do VDI Without Knowing About Them?
Date: May 11, 2011
Time: 3:20 PM-4:35 PM
Session Location: BriForum Europe Breakout #1
Demonstration Location: Atlantis Computing Booth #19
In this extremely technical session, we’ll dive deep into the guts of the Windows 7 disk system:
• What are IOPS? How do you measure them, and why does Windows 7 need so many?
• What aspects of Windows 7 are the main culprits?
• What tools will help you see inside the disk subsystem? What happens when you share these resources?
• Advantages and disadvantages of various storage solutions: SSD, SATA, SAN, PCI-E cards, software
• What happens when you add antivirus into the mix, as well as backup and inventory agents?
• How to solve the problem of sizing for IOPS mathematically.

“The Nirvana phone concept leverages the combination of a smartphone that docks with a full size keyboard and display that can access a Windows 7 desktop and applications running in the datacenter on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI),” said Jim Moyle, Lead Northern Europe Solutions Consultant, Atlantis Computing. “With a Nirvana phone on VDI, the performance and user experience is not limited by the phone’s CPU, memory and local storage because the desktop is actually running in the datacenter on a server. At PubForum, I will demonstrate how a Motorola Atrix can be used to access Windows 7 applications via a Citrix virtual desktop running on a server together with Atlantis ILIO to optimize storage access.”
