Many companies have been switching to virtualization
platforms to operate their business management system and abandoning their
multiple server environments. Multiple server environments create large amounts
of waste for companies in a variety of ways and are simply inefficient.
Virtualization platforms allow these companies to reduce the waste, save money
and enhance their business.
Multiple server environments require that each individual
application and operating system that a company uses be placed on its own
unique server. This requires an incredible amount of capital from the company
to even get started. Each server must be purchased, powered, stored and
protected. Maintaining the machines is difficult as well. IT administrators
must spend hours of their day backing up, archiving and performing routine
maintenance tasks on each machine.
Virtualization
platforms eliminate these costs.
A virtualization platform allows a company to condense their
applications and operating systems on to a single server. Each application and
operating system is stored in a secure area to protect against threats that
occur on the server and the server can be accessed by different virtual
machines sharing the server’s resources. This immediately cuts the costs
associated with using multiple machines. Because there is only one server to
worry about IT admins can do their jobs quickly and focus their attention on something
else to provide value to the company.
A virtualization platform can only provide a company with
benefits as long as it is kept healthy and protected from threats that will rob
its ability to perform effectively. I/O bandwidth bottlenecks faster due to
accelerated fragmentation, resource conflicts are not prioritized effectively
and dynamic disks may not shrink when data are deleted resulting in wasted
space. Preventing these problems is easy with a
virtualization platform disk
optimizer like V-locity 3.
V-locity 3 is designed to improve the performance of all
VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-v hypervisor virtual platforms
automatically. Using a unique blend of technologies it stops the threats that
can cause a virtual platform to slow down, waste space and lose efficiency.
IntelliWrite® Technology stops most fragmentation before it
can happen to boost performance speeds. V-Aware™ will detect external resource
usage from other virtual machines to eliminate the resource contention that can
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 with other virtual machines.
Automatic Space Reclamation zeroes out unused data blocks on
virtual disks to ease the compaction process, allowing VMotion or Live
Migration to compact disks at the same time they are migrating virtual disks.
This process happens online eliminating the need for a maintenance window.
Special Virtual Disk Auto Detection lets each V-locity Guest conform its
optimization settings to the type of virtual disk that the virtual machine
uses. All of these processes happen invisibly with IvisiTasking® technology to
eliminate the resource usage on the system.
Virtualization platforms save companies time and money when
compared to multiple server environments. These platforms can only work
correctly when they are protected from problems
that commonly reduce performance. Installing V-locity 3 will guarantee
that a company’s virtualization platform is operating effectively and providing
the maximum benefit.
