The most successful companies are often the companies
that can reduce their overhead costs and operate the most efficiently.
Companies are constantly examining their operations to make sure that
they aren't spending any unnecessary money or creating any waste. Few
companies ever examine their business management systems to make sure
that they are efficient. Companies have used multiple server
environments for years and think that they have maximized the value that
they receive. If these companies switch to a virtualization platform
they can reduce their overhead cost and improve their IT network
efficiency.
Multiple server environments require that a company put each individual
operating system and application on a dedicated server. This protects
them from harm, but it also creates an incredible amount of waste while
demanding extra attention from IT administrators. Because each server
only holds a single piece of information, there is an incredible amount
of extra space that is not used. This waste is multiplied by the number
of servers that a company uses. IT network administrators must also take
their time to make sure that the servers are running properly and do
not malfunction. These tasks are time consuming and repeating them for
each server requires a massive investment of time that the IT admins
cannot spend on other projects.
Switching to a virtualization platform allows a company to condense
their applications and operating systems on to a single server. The
server can then be accessed by different virtual machines that share the
server's resources. Information is kept safe by storing each individual
operating system and application in a secure area so that a problem in
one area will not cripple the whole server. Consolidating information
and reducing the number of servers eliminates wasted time and space.
Virtualization systems are not without problems. . 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 change size when data are deleted. These platforms can also
experience an increase in the time it takes to boot up and slower
virtual migration. Hardware may not last as long because of the extra
strain and disks can become bloated. These problems can significantly
reduce the benefits added by a virtualization platform.
Protecting a virtualization platform from these problems can be done
easily by installing a virtualization platform disk optimizer. This
software will restore the full function of the server and provide
optimal speed and performance to the system. A top of the line
virtualization platform disk optimizer, and the only way to get maximum
I/O performance from virtual machines, is V-locity.
V-locity uses a unique blend of technology to optimize the virtual
platform. IntelliWrite
(r) Technology writes larger sequential disk I/Os
and creates less work for the copy-on-write technology that
copies/tracks each write.
V-locity uses InvisiTasking
(r) Technology to
operate efficiently in the background and will not cut across the
production needs of other virtual machines. V-locity also eliminates
free space problems and disk bloat through virtual disk compaction that
shows the user where space can be created and provides an easy,
one-click option to begin the process.
A virtualization platform can greatly increase a company's ability to
operate efficiently and significantly reduce the operating cost of
running servers. To experience the maximum performance from a
virtualization platform a company has to make sure that they are
properly protecting the system from problems that can reduce
performance. Installing V-locity is the best way to make sure that the
system is protected from all problems that will occur.
