I haven't used it but we did review the product to support our XenApp 6.5 w/ 
PVS implementation. Their dedupe capabilities and IO efficiencies were 
definitely very compelling but we opted to invest in FusionIO as an 
infrastructure wide solution for high IO needs since their ioDrive and 
ioTurbine solutions will benefit not only our PVS environment but our entire 
vSphere environment. 

With that said, I plan on reviewing Alantis on top of FusionIO if/when we start 
looking into VDI. At a certain capacity, the price per GB is lower than RAM and 
its easier to achieve greater densities on top of PCIe based flash. In addition 
you're easily able to show significant cost avoidance by further negating the 
need for shared storage. It's easy for me to see the cost savings by comparing 
the cost vs. expanding SSD within our Storage Arrays.
