(* Gartner Estimate)

Traditional PC

CPU ~$200

RAM ~$80

Storage~$60

CPU ~$23

RAM ~$26-80

SAN Storage ~$1000



Traditional Storage: Too Costly for VDI

Storage 495 59%

Microsoft VDA 100 12%

Total All-Flash Effective Capacity (4 Nodes)* 12 TB 24 TB

* “All-Flash Effective Capacity” is the capacity available to the application after Atlantis HyperDup data reduction and data protection. This capacity number shown includes data protection to support resiliency with 1 of 4 nodes failing and a 70% data reduction rate. The data reduction rate will vary based on workload, which could result in an effective capacity that is higher or lower than the number shown.

Testing Methodology

• Scalability Test• Determine overall HyperScale VDI “real world” scalability

• HA Test• Observe behavior in the event of a node failover and evaluate

performance

• Iometer• Evaluate IOPS

• PassMark• Compare against other SSDs, etc.
