Hyper-Opportunity

Broadly, Atlantis argues that hyper-convergence itself presents a huge opportunity for partners, especially in server virtualization, VDI and database technologies. By adding the Dell FX2 server to its roster of platforms for its CX-4 system, Atlantis' all-flash, hyper-converged buyers can now choose to purchase Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo or Cisco products, as well as an Atlantis-branded server from Super Micro -- all sold through the channel. The CX-4 system is geared toward the remote office/back office market. Seth Knox, vice president of product marketing at Atlantis, said these customers generally have no on-site IT staff and place a high priority on reliability.
