It is very important that companies using virtualization
platforms are protecting their investment with the proper software. By
installing a virtual platform disk optimizer the company guarantees that
the virtualization platform will not succumb to the problems that
reduce efficiency and increase the associated operating costs. V-locity
has been a leader in virtualization platform disk optimization and with
the recent launch of V-locity 3 the software provides added advantages
to improve you company's operations.
Virtualization has always been an improvement over multiple server
environments. Consolidation applications and operating systems onto a
single server provided benefits in speed and cost reduction as well as
improving IT network efficiency by reducing the number of tasks that IT
admins are required to do to keep a server functioning properly. These
improvements were notable but could be reduced by frequently occurring
problems.
I/O bandwidth bottlenecks, virtual machine competition and bloated disks
are just some of the problems that could cause a virtual platform to
operate below the optimal speeds. With its unique blend of software
V-locity eliminated these problems and others that caused slow boot up
times, slow virtual migration, resource conflicts and shortened the life
span of the hardware. V-locity 3 includes additional prevention methods
improve performance even more.
V-locity 3 introduces V-Aware to detect external resource usage from
other virtual machines and eliminate the resource contention that occurs
on the same Host Server. CogniSAN technology will detect any external
resource usage from within a shared storage system and allow for
transparent optimization, never competing for resources that are being
used by other virtual machines. Notably, CogniSAN does all of this
without intruding into SAN-layer operations.
Automatic Space Reclamation zeroes out unused data blocks on virtual
disks, making virtual disk compaction easy and freeing up space. It also
allows VMotion (VMware) or Live Migration (Microsoft) to compact a disk
while it is migrating virtual disks. There is no need for a maintenance
window with Automatic Space Reclamation because it occurs online.
V-locity 3 also features Special Virtual Disk Auto Detection. This
allows each V-locity Guest to conform its optimization setting to the
type of virtual disk/features the virtual machine is using to achieve
maximum performance.
The features available on V-locity 3 offer a company superior protection
for their virtualization platform and ensure operating efficiency. With
these problems taken care of, IT admins will be able to focus their
time and energy towards improving other aspects of the company's
operations. Operating costs will also be reduced because of the extended
life and performance of the hardware used to run the virtualization
platform.
A virtualization platform is essential for saving a company time and
money but it can only be used to its fullest capability if a
virtual
platform disk optimizer is installed. Using V-locity 3 a company can be
sure that it is getting the best software to protect the platform and
encourage the maximum use of resources for superior performance.
