MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA and KING OF PRUSSIA, PA–(Marketwired – May 22, 2013) – Today Atlantis Computing™ and Devon IT announced a partnership and joint solution to further decrease the cost of virtual desktops deployments, while delivering better than PC performance. The solution enables IT teams to immediately deploy virtual desktops at scale with their existing images and lowers the cost of Citrix XenApp virtualization migrations. The solution supports enterprise class high-availability (HA) and disaster recovery, automates deployments, and simplifies the management of virtual desktops and thin client devices at scales reaching tens of thousands of users.

According to Gartner, “storage is the No. 1 challenge most IT organizations face when considering virtual desktop (server-hosted virtual desktop or virtual desktop infrastructure) projects. Persistent storage is the easiest solution to deploy, but can result in significantly higher back-end storage costs because every user is assigned a dedicated virtual desktop image.”¹ Moreover, “with an average cost per virtual desktop of over $1,000, the typical cost of storage is $400 to $600 per desktop.”²

With traditional SAN/NAS storage and thin client devices, customers cannot achieve the same level of performance as a PC without spending $1,000-$2,000 per user. Standard thin client acquisition and management costs drive up the total cost of ownership further to put virtual desktops out of the reach of most organizations.

Atlantis ILIO award-winning software optimizes how storage-intensive applications use data center storage when virtualized. The software reduces the amount of storage needed for each user, boosts the desktop performance, and reduces operationalization risks. It is the only solution on the market to run the VMs directly in RAM using its “ILIO In-Memory” technology delivering amazing performance levels, and enabling deployments with a fraction of the storage normally needed — and depending on the implementation use case, with no storage at all.

“Together, Atlantis ILIO software and Devon IT thin clients make it possible to deploy virtual desktops that are not only cheaper and faster than PCs, but also easier to manage at scale,” said Bernard Harguindeguy, President and CEO of Atlantis Computing. “The joint solution with Devon IT is proven in some of the largest VDI deployments out there to scale well beyond 10,000 users with fully automated disaster recovery.”

Devon IT software embedded on thin clients offers significant benefits to information technology (IT) departments. In addition to delivering security and control, IT teams are able to support more users with fewer resources, while offering the best possible user experience from virtually anywhere, and on virtually any device. Devon IT and Atlantis Computing have proven the benefits of scalability, management and cost savings in one of the largest VDI deployments in the world.

Also according to Gartner, “a thin client is often the device of choice for SBC or HVD environments. Thin clients decrease the cost of field operations associated with a device, last longer, offer better security, and consume less power than comparable desktop PCs. Thin clients typically cost less than desktops on a per-unit basis; however, these cost savings are often offset by the required back-end infrastructures necessary for SBC or HVDs.”³

“It is no secret that thin client technology is now capable of replacing desktop PCs, even in large-scale environments,” said Joe Makoid, President of Devon IT. “Both hardware and software used in creating a successful VDI deployment have advanced by leaps and bounds over the past two years. Utilizing VDI has never been more cost effective, and the user experience just keeps getting better and better. We’re proud to be working with Atlantis Computing to find more ways to improve the capabilities of VDI while keeping costs down. Atlantis ILIO storage optimization software and thin clients running Devon IT software turn the vision of VDI into reality.”

King of Prussia, PA, May 21, 2013 – Devon IT today announced Ceptor™, an ultra-small full-featured desktop device that plugs into a monitor or display and transforms it into a zero client.  The ultra-compact multimedia-capable device is slightly larger than a USB memory stick and enables users to convert any HDMI capable TV or monitor into an interactive client device.

“Ceptor is the most exciting device to be offered in the thin client computing market.  Its small form factor offers a full VDI desktop experience and the Ceptor is fully manageable and comes in at a very low cost,” exclaimed Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT.  “This is a game changer for the VDI market in multiple ways.”

Unlike “PC Sticks,” Ceptor is a full featured enterprise client desktop access point that is configurable, persistent and fully manageable making it an ideal virtual desktop solution for a wide variety of uses.  Ceptor is slightly larger than the typical USB stick and it plugs into any monitor or display that is equipped with an HDMI port.  The device lets users access their virtual desktops by running Devon IT’s zero client operating system – ZeTOS.

With ZeTOS, Ceptor runs in a stateless condition. Users are unable to execute software or initiate remote sessions that the administrators have not authorized. A user enters their username and password and is immediately up and running in their remote session. Ceptor devices do not broadcast or auto-discover network protocols, eliminating the need for special firewall or routing rules. Since the terminals have no local persistent memory, there are no threats from viruses or malicious software.

Ceptor uses a dual core ARM processor with ZeTOS already installed and the client device is manageable by Devon IT’s Echo thin client management software platform.  When plugged into an HMDI monitor and network, Ceptor provides a full virtual desktop experience.  It has integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability for connecting to the network. Ceptor also includes USB On-The-Go via a USB-B micro host port as well as 1080P HD video output.

“PCs and thin clients have been about accessing applications and data in a variety of ways,” noted Makoid.  ‘Ceptor is an advanced zero client that brings the data to the user when and where they need it.  Most importantly, this is an enterprise class device that is fully configurable and manageable making it and ideal solution for companies and organizations worldwide with increasingly mobile and remote work forces.”

Future versions of the new device will offer lower cost processors and also run Android.  Devon IT will be demonstrating Ceptor in booth 304 at Citrix Synergy™ L.A. May 22-24, at the Anaheim Convention Center.  Ceptor MSRP is $99 and will be available exclusively from Devon IT partners.

London – May 16, 2013 - Today at BriForum London, the release of Brian Madden, Gabe Knuth and Jack Madden’s new book was announced. The new book titled The New VDI Reality: How the Biggest Barriers to VDI Adoption Have Finally Been Solved and What This Means for the Future of the Enterprise Desktop – is the second edition to their March 2012 book titled The VDI Delusion: Why Desktop Virtualization Failed to Live Up to the Hype, and What the Future Enterprise Desktop will Really Look Like, which was widely considered to be the definitive book on VDI and desktop virtualization strategy.

When Brian, Gabe and Jack wrote The VDI Delusion, it caused quite an uproar in the VDI community and challenged a lot of the hype and unrealistically positive outlook that many vendors were painting about VDI. Brian recently blogged “we now have the technology to address two of the major showstopper issues for VDI” with 1) the introduction of storage technology to support persistent (1-to-1) disk images and 2) GPU-based graphics improvements for support of most apps. The New VDI Reality book was written to explain how these two technological innovations have lowered the cost and improved the user experience of persistent VDI to the point where they can now be better than physical PCs.

Excerpts from The New VDI Reality book:

It’s been a little over a year since we published the first edition of this book, called The VDI Delusion. While I’m incredibly proud of that book, in hindsight I’m not sure if we picked the best title. Calling it The VDI Delusion scared many people away as they thought it was a book about VDI haters and that we were anti-VDI. (And with a title like that, who could blame them?)

By the way, let’s take another moment to remind you that we’re not VDI haters. We actually love VDI! (Seriously!) What we don’t like is when VDI gets a bad name when it fails because people try to use it for the wrong reasons. So we’re hoping that by sharing real-world examples of how other people have failed with VDI, you’ll be able to avoid these situations and (1) only use VDI where it makes sense, and (2) be very successful with it!

Since the first edition of this book was published last year, there have been two major technological innovations that have changed the game for a lot of VDI deployments. The first is around storage. We always argued that VDI had to be about persistent “1-to-1” disk images, but doing so with traditional server storage was prohibitively expensive…The second major breakthrough of the past year has been in the area of graphics performance, specifically the fact that multiple vendors now have plug-in cards for your remote VDI servers that can offload the processing, encoding, and compression of the remote protocol display streams.

Taken together, these improvements in storage and graphics capabilities mean that VDI is now applicable in far more situations than it was before. This sentiment is corroborated by the number of large (more than 10,000 seat) deployments we’ve seen kick off this year.

The good news around costs and VDI is that thanks to Moore’s Law, desktop economies of scale can be realized more quickly in the datacenter. While we already discussed the fact that Moore’s Law also applies to traditional desktops, much of those costs are wrapped up in the metal box and the power supply and the wires and the logistics of designing, marketing, selling, and delivering a $300 desktop. But when it comes to the datacenter, you can almost literally buy twice the computing power (which cuts the cost of a desktop in half) every 18 months, yet the “goal” of desktop virtualization doesn’t move nearly that often.

As we briefly mentioned in the previous chapter, Windows 7 was released four years ago, and the requirements (in terms of CPU MIPS, IOPS, graphics power, etc.) for delivering a good Windows 7 experience haven’t changed since then. What has changed was that dedicating enough datacenter resources to create a good Windows 7 experience now costs 1/5th of what it did in 2009. In practical terms this doesn’t mean that we’re doing VDI in 2013 for 1/5th of the cost of VDI in 2009, rather, it means that today we’re using roughly the same amount of money but delivering a vastly improved VDI experience that can actually rival a physical desktop. In other words, $500 of VDI in 2013 can deliver something that users actually want to use!

In terms of calculating cost savings and looking at cost models, this means that we can finally do a more true “apples-to-apples” comparison of the product we’re delivering (VDI versus traditional) and the costs to deliver it. All of the cost model caveats still apply of course, but at least now we have the option of delivering a worse user experience by going to VDI. (Previously it was mandatory.)

The ideal 1-to-1 VDI environment is an environment where each VDI desktop has its own personal, unique disk image. So if you have 150 desktop VMs on a VDI host, then we’d want to see 150 separate VMDK files on that host—one for each user. Like we said earlier, building a VDI environment like that would be the most like your existing desktop environment.

“Terminals running ZeTOS are capable of performing high demand tasks with the ability to operate RDP, ICA and View sessions,” explained Ian Geiser, CTO, Devon IT. “Zero clients offer greater operational efficiency, are easy to maintain, and data is secure.”

With ZeTOS, zero client terminals run in a stateless condition. Users are unable to execute software or initiate remote sessions that the administrators have not authorized. A user enters their username and password and is immediately up and running in their remote session. Terminals running ZeTOS do not broadcast or auto-discover network protocols, eliminating the need for special firewall or routing rules. Since the terminals have no local persistent memory, there are no threats from viruses or malicious software.

Configuration is carried out entirely through an external DNS environment: management software such as the Devon IT Echo becomes optional, as connectivity is established passively through standard DNS records. While Echo can still be used by administrators to execute commands within the terminals being managed, once the DNS environment has been established the management process is essentially complete. As with a thin client, terminals running ZeTOS are easily managed centrally either through this DNS environment or through Echo should the system administrator so desire.
