Avoid Problems Common to Virtualization Platforms with a Virtual Platform Disk Optimizer

It is important for a company that wants to protect its bottom line to make sure it is running as efficiently as possible in all aspects of what they do. This is why many companies are beginning to use virtualization platforms rather than the standard multiple server environments. Virtualization platforms allow companies to put their operating systems and applications on a single server rather than provide them with their own dedicated machines. Putting operating systems and applications on a single machine eliminates wasted space and gives IT administrators more time to work on other areas.

Virtualization platforms provide great advantages to companies that choose to use them but there are several obstacles that must be avoided so that the platform does not run slowly. These obstacles arise because the server is used by a number of different virtual machines sharing the server’s resources. The more demands are placed on the server the more difficult it can be to handle them all at the same time.

Overcoming these obstacles is quick and inexpensive with the installation of a virtual platform disk optimizer. This software will prevent the virtual platform from becoming bogged down by requests from the different virtual machines and provide maximum speed and efficiency. V-locity is the only virtual platform disk optimizer that blends together unique technologies to provide maximum I/O performance on virtual machines.

V-locity quickly eliminates the problems that are associated with slow virtualization platforms. A company will not have to worry about I/O bandwidth bottlenecking faster due to accelerated fragmentation, virtual machine competition for shared I/O resources not being prioritized effectively across the platform or virtual disks that are set to dynamically grow not resizing when data are deleted.

V-locity works hard to protect the virtual platform from even more problems that cause slow speeds and force inefficiencies. When the platform slows down IT administrators must again focus their time on maintaining a server rather than streamlining other business operations to save the company money.

V-locity provides virtual disk compaction to create greater storage space on the platform for companies using Thin/Dynamic disks. It also eliminates resource conflicts and greatly increases the speed with which the system boots up, getting your day started earlier.

Many IT admins experience an increase in the amount of time it takes to back up the server due to the increased amount of information being stored and the time spent on virtual migration. V-locity removes these problems to provide the fastest operations and allow the IT admins to use their time in more productive ways.

The lifespan of the hardware used on the virtual platform is increased by installing V-locity. Ridding the server and virtual machines of undue stress and demands keeps conflicts to a minimum. This saves company money because they do not need to constantly spend extravagant amounts replacing expensive parts as they age. The operating costs of a virtual platform are greatly reduced.

Switching to a virtualization platform is a smart way to reduce operating costs and help provide IT admins wit more free time to focus on business operations. To make sure that your company is receiving the highest possible return on your investment it is important to make sure to avoid the obstacles that decrease performance and speed. Installing V-locity makes sure that your virtual platform reaches its fullest potential.
