Protect Virtualization Platforms from Threats that Create Slow Speeds and Inefficiency

There is a constant need in the business world for companies to increase their efficiency and protect their bottom line. This can be done in many ways and recently many companies have started to see the advantages that using a virtualization platform provides. For many years companies have been using multiple server environments to store operating systems and applications that they use ever day but those systems have proven to be inefficient. Virtualization platforms provide increased IT network efficiency with lower overhead costs so that companies can increase their production and their profits.

In multiple server environments each operating system and application is stored on its own server. While this allows each server to remain separate and secure from the threat of a virus or corruption it creates additional expenses and limits the time that IT administrators have to devote to improving overall operations. Each server costs money to purchase, house and operate but also requires that an IT admin spend time doing backups, archiving and general maintenance to keep the server running at optimal speeds. These costs add up over time and some companies don’t even realize the total cost.

A virtualization platform provides a way for companies to condense their operating systems and applications onto a single server. The server can then be accessed by different virtual machines that share the single server’s resources. Virtualization also allows for the same security as a multiple server environment by storing each operating system and application in its own secure area. A problem with one area will not affect the others.

There are several problems that arise on virtual platforms that cause inefficiencies. The most common problems include I/O bandwidth bottlenecking faster due to accelerated fragmentation, virtual machine competition for shared I/O resources not being prioritized effectively across the platform and virtual disks set to dynamically grow not resizing when data are deleted.

It is easy for a company to avoid these problems simply by installing a virtual platform disk optimizer. A virtual platform disk optimizer will prevent these issues from arising by streamlining the way that the virtualization platform handles information and requests from virtual machines. There is one virtual platform disk optimizer does much more; installing V-locity is the only way to get maximum performance from virtual machines.

V-locity uses a unique blend of advanced technologies to eliminate the previously mentioned problems while also ridding a virtualization platform of other problems that can severely affect performance. Using V-locity will allow a company to eliminate slow virtual machines, increase backup speed, reduce resource conflicts, increase the life of the hardware and increase disk space. It will also reduce boot up time, eliminate disk bloat, and more. Using V-locity allows the a company to ensure that it is getting the most out of its virtualization platform while greatly reducing their operating costs and the amount of time that IT admins must spend working on the server.

To get the greatest benefit out of a virtualization platform a company needs to protect it from all possible threats. Installing V-locity virtual platform disk optimizer is the best way for a company to be sure that their platform is protected from problems ranging from common to obscure. V-locity provides the company with the maximum performance speeds and the best return on their investment.
