US Army boots up VDI with Atlantis ILIO flash caching software

The US Army Medical Command (Medcom) has slashed user login times from five minutes to 30 seconds in an 11,000-user virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) project with the help of Atlantis ILIO flash caching software from Atlantis Computing.

The Medcom VDI project spanned six hospitals in the US and Europe and its headquarters in Texas and has enabled it to serve virtual desktops and clinical applications to 11,000 users, including doctors on hospital rounds.

The key aim was to make access to virtual desktops and core applications more efficient for frontline providers on the move between and within hospitals, said Medcom virtualisation architect Lloyd Havekost.
