The target market for Atlantic Bundle (Tronn + PESA) can be defined as people in the web server and file sharing application segments, especially those who preferred low end systems to share work. It can also be defined as people who would prefer buying fewer servers to fulfil their requirements such as hosting a website or file sharing, people who wanted to save their costs by buying fewer servers.
