	When deploying virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), traditional anti-virus reduces the number of desktops per server, degrades performance, and ultimately increases the infrastructure costs of VDI. Atlantis Computing has integrated ILIO with McAfee Management for Optimized Virtual Environments (MOVE) Anti-virus to help customers deploy VDI at a lower cost per desktop, without compromising on performance. Atlantis ILIO optimizes how VDI desktops running anti-virus interact with storage to cut costs, boost performance, and increase density. Atlantis ILIO's patent-pending IO virtualization technology is delivered as a virtual appliance that transparently consolidates desktop images and offloads IO-intensive Windows operations from VDI storage. Atlantis Computing is privately held and funded by El Dorado Ventures, Partech International, and Cisco Systems, with headquarters in Mountain View, CA, and a research and development center in Bangalore, India.
