MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA --(Marketwired - January 12, 2016) -  Atlantis
Computing(R), the leading provider of Software-Defined Storage
(SDS), today announced the expansion of its hyperconverged
appliance product line with the introduction of the Atlantis
HyperScale(TM)CX-4 model and the availability of all models on the
Dell PowerEdge FX2 server platform. The CX-4 appliance is a
two-node hyperconverged integrated system with compute, all-flash
storage, networking and virtualization designed for remote
offices, branch offices (ROBO) and micro data centers.

Paul Delory, research director at Gartner Research, said, 'ROBO
infrastructure often takes the form of a micro data center, an
architecture that is increasingly common for specific use cases.
HCIS can make ideal building blocks for micro data centers. A
cluster of HCIS appliances can be paired with a network switch to
create a complete infrastructure stack that requires relatively
little space, less power, no special cooling system, no
nonstandard power outlets and no special mounting hardware. In
Gartner's analysis, the two primary design goals in a micro data
center are that it should run autonomously, but be controlled
centrally; and that it should be a self-contained solution that
is easy to deploy, replace, monitor and control remotely. The
HCIS architecture aligns very well with these design objectives.'

With 4 TB of effective storage capacity and 48 compute cores in a
compact 2U footprint, Atlantis HyperScale enables IT
organizations to meet all the infrastructure requirements of
their remote sites, simplify operations, cut costs and ensure
that all critical data remains safely backed up to a central
site. At a starting price of $43,000 for a two-node configuration
(including 3 yrs. of 24x7 support), the Atlantis HyperScale CX-4
is the most affordable hyperconverged appliance on the market and
includes data protection, high availability and disaster recovery
capabilities at no additional cost.

'The new Atlantis HyperScale CX-4 truly meets an unmet need in
the industry and is a game changer for our ROBO customers,' said
Chetan Venkatesh, president and CEO of Atlantis. 'Prior to this
offering, it would be unheard of for a ROBO environment to be
equipped with an all-flash hyper-converged appliance because of
the cost.'

Atlantis technology is known for transforming the economics of a
datacenter, and the CX-4 is no different. It provides the lowest
entry point cost for any hyper-converged appliance and a
simplified deployment process that pre-configures networking for
each remote appliance to connect to central Atlantis Manager
virtual appliance. Atlantis customers can experience the agility,
efficiency and assurance they covet while also seeing drastic
savings in ROBO infrastructure and operations costs.

Atlantis HyperScale Appliances Available on Dell PowerEdge FX2
Platform

As a result of the high volume of customer requests, Dell is
teaming with Atlantis to provide the entire line of Atlantis
HyperScale all-flash hyperconverged appliances on their PowerEdge
FX2 platform. Atlantis HyperScale CX-4, CX-12 and CX-24
appliances are now available on Dell servers through Dell
distributors and channel partners in the U.S., Europe and the
Middle East, shipped directly to customers.

According to Gartner, 'By 2018, 40 percent of midsize enterprises
will replace all data center servers and storage with integrated
systems, up from single digits in 2015.' (2)

The Atlantis HyperScale solution, targeted at mid-market
customers, is the first hyperconverged offering available on the
Dell FX2 platform, which combines blade server density and
integrated 10GbE switching with the cost-effectiveness of rack
servers. The appliance's integrated networking simplifies cabling
and provides better network performance between the
hyperconverged appliance nodes compared to other hyperconverged
appliances that require a separate 10GbE switch.

'Adding Dell to our portfolio will expand the reach of Atlantis
HyperScale benefits,' Venkatesh said. 'Since launching Atlantis
HyperScale, one after the other, customers are telling us how
much money they're saving, how much faster they can deploy and
react and how much simpler their jobs have become. With Dell as a
partner, we'll be able to introduce these benefits to a much
wider market and give customers more technology freedom.'

The Atlantis HyperScale CX-4 will be available this month through
Atlantis Computing Authorized Resellers.

'We're a Dell shop, and now, with the Atlantis HyperScale on the
Dell FX2, we've finally found a hyperconverged appliance that
delivers on the promises of simplicity, performance and cost
savings,' said Bryan Badger, President of Integral Networks.
'We've seen a lot of success with Atlantis, especially when it
comes to using Atlantis HyperScale as part of our cloud
infrastructure.'

'We have plenty of customers who could benefit from smaller
hyper-converged appliances, at reasonable price points,' said
Robert Sims, Senior Solutions Architect at Cetus Solutions
Limited based in the United Kingdom. 'CX-4 is a smart decision
for ROBO environments and small distributed datacenters because
it provides an affordable, all-flash, plug-and-play storage
solution that doesn't skimp on performance, while also
guaranteeing three years of data services and a single point of
support. You can't find this combination of benefits in any other
hyper-converged appliance.'
