Many companies have recently switched their business
management systems from a multiple server environment to a
virtualization platform. These companies are choosing to switch because
virtualization networks are able to eliminate much of the waste that is
standard with multiple server environments. After switching to a
virtualization platform it is important for a company to make sure that
the platform is protected from problems that will reduce the advantages
the company sought in the first place.
Multiple server environments create waste because of the way that
information is stored. Each application and operating system is stored
on a dedicated server so that it can be accessed and used while
maintaining a level of security in case one of the servers crashes.
Often an application or operating system will be the only information
stored on any given server and the rest of the space will be left
unused. Free space accumulates across each physical machine and forces
the company to pay for space it does not have plans to use.
At the same time multiple servers also reduce the capabilities of the IT
department. Each server must be individually attended to by an IT
administrator. They must be backed up, archived and generally kept in
good working order. Doing this repeatedly on multiple machines takes
away the time that the IT admins have to focus on other work to benefit
the company.
A virtualization platform allows a company to condense their information
on to a single server. Applications and operating systems can then be
accessed by different virtual machines that share the resources of the
server. Each application and operating system is stored a dedicated
secure area so that information will not be compromised if one file is
corrupted. This eliminates the accumulation of wasted space and greatly
reduces the work that IT admins are forced to do.
There can be several threats to the virtualization platform that will
result in reduced benefits. 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. These problems are the most obvious but virtualization
platforms can also suffer from slower boot up times, slow backups, slow
virtual migration, reduced hardware life and rising operating costs. To
protect the platform it is important that a company install a
virtual
platform disk optimizer.
V-locity is a virtual platform disk optimizer that will take care of
these problems and more to provide a company with the most efficient
platform available. Installing
V-locity allows IT admins to focus on
other aspects of business that they can improve and streamline, making
the company more efficient. It also saves money by increasing the
lifespan of the hardware used to run the platform and increasing the
operating efficiency of the company.
To fully realize the benefits that a virtualization platform brings a
company has to install a virtual platform disk optimizer. Installing
V-locity provides a company with protection that will improve operating
speeds and enhance the equipment's reliability. V-locity is the best way
to ensure a positive return on your investment and the only way to
guarantee maximum I/O speed on virtual machines.
