Unlock the Full Potential of a Virtualization Platform with a Virtual Platform Disk Optimizer

It is important for companies to conduct their business as efficiently as possible. If the company's practices are creating excess waste or taking too long to produce results clients and customers may lose confidence in its ability and take their business somewhere else. Recently many companies have discovered the advantages of virtualization platforms to increase efficiency and reduce costs compared to multiple server environments. Virtual platforms allow a company to put their information on a single server instead of spreading it over several different machines, eliminating wasted space and IT inefficiencies.

Virtualization platforms provide many benefits to companies that use them but there are several problems that can get in the way of operating at peak efficiency. Problems occur on virtualization platforms and reduce the operating speed because the server is being accessed by different virtual machines that share its resources. With a constant stream of requests the server can become overworked and problems can occur.

The overcome these obstacles it is important that a company install a virtual platform disk optimizer on their virtualization platform. This software eases the congestion caused by high demand and allows the server to operate at the highest level. V-locity is a virtual platform disk optimizer that uses unique technologies to provide companies with the greatest possible virtual machine performance.

Some of the problems that virtualization platforms face are easy to see. I/O bandwidth bottlenecks faster due to accelerated fragmentation, virtual machine competition for shared I/O resources is not prioritized effectively across the platform and virtual disks that are set to dynamically grow do not get smaller when data are deleted. While these are the most obvious, there are other problems that sap performance from the platform.

V-locity will eliminate the main problems and then continue to protect the system against other obstacles that may stand in the way of optimal performance. This attention to detail allows IT administrators to focus on work that provides a greater benefit to the company than constantly maintaining the server.

With V-locity storage space on the hard disk is increased through the compaction of Thin/Dynamic disks. These disks accumulate free space "holes" that are never designated to be reused by the system. V-locity provides users a graphical interface to see these holes and begin the compaction process.

Many virtualization platforms experience an increase in boot time and virtual migration and a reduction in back up speed. V-locity prevents these problems from arising, leaving the platform fast and more responsive. Having a healthy platform will also allow the hardware that is being used to last longer. More time between replacing hardware creates more value for the company.

To maximize the results seen with a virtual platform disk optimizer a company needs to install V-locity. Increasing overall speed and reducing conflicts creates greater speeds and reliability, but also allows employees to focus more of their time in other areas to drive innovation.
