It is important for a company to keep up with technology
if they want to stay competitive in their industry. Technological
improvements can help companies cut costs and increase their operating
efficiency. One of the most effective pieces of technology that a
company can adopt is a virtualization platform to handle its business
management system. A virtualization infrastructure will replace a
multiple server environment and provide many money advantages.
Multiple server environments have been used for years to store
companies' operating systems and applications. These systems require
that each individual operating system and application be placed on its
own dedicated server to ensure the safety of the program. Because each
server only holds a single application or operating system there is a
large amount of usable space that will never store information. Across
many machines this space adds up quickly and companies end up paying for
something they will not use. At the same time each server requires that
an IT administrator perform the basic tasks that keep it running well.
These tasks are time consuming and can take the IT admin away from more
important tasks.
A virtualization platform allows a company to condense their operating
systems and applications onto a single server. This eliminates the
accumulation of wasted space and limits the amount of time that needs to
be spent caring for the machine. Additionally the company will no
longer have to spend the money to purchase, house and power the servers
that comprised their multiple server environment, saving them even more
time and money.
Virtualization platforms are not perfect. There are a variety of
problems that can cause them to slow down and cause resources to be used
inefficiently and sacrifice I/O bandwidth. These problems can include
I/O bottlenecks from continuous generation of unnecessary I/Os resulting
in slower operating speeds, resource conflicts as virtual machines
compete for shared resources without knowing the exact resource usage of
the hardware and wasted space caused by dynamic disks not shrinking
when data are deleted.
To achieve peak performance it is important to avoid these obstacles by
installing a
virtualization platform disk optimizer. This software will
work to eliminate these problems and provide the virtual platform with
efficient resource usage from virtual machines. V-locity 3 is the best
software available and uses a unique blend of technology to achieve
unparalleled results.
IntelliWrite® technology prevents most fragmentation on the disk
before it can happen to boost performance speeds. V-Aware™ detects
external resource usage from other virtual machines to eliminate
resource contention that would otherwise exist on the same Host Server.
CogniSAN™ technology detects external resource usage on a shared
storage system to allow for transparent optimization by not competing
for resources with other virtual machines.
Special Virtual Disk Auto Detection lets each V-locity Guest conform its
optimization settings to the type of virtual disk that the virtual
machine is using. Automatic Space Reclamation zeroes out unused data
blocks on virtual disks to ease the compaction process. It helps VMotion
or Live Migration compact a disk at the same time as they are migrating
virtual disks. This process happens online so that there is no need for
a maintenance window. Because
V-locity 3 is designed to operate
invisibly with InvisiTasking® technology these processes all operate
in the background to eliminate the resource impact on the virtual
platform.
Virtualization is an important upgrade over multiple server environments
that companies have been using for years. It allows a company to
greatly reduce the operating costs of their business management systems
and provide their IT admins with greater time to devote to pressing
matters. Once the switch has been made it is important to properly
protect the virtual platform to keep it running efficiently. V-locity 3
is the most effective virtual disk platform optimizer available and the
only way to maximize I/O output on virtual machines.
