Company executives spend much of their time trying to
find ways to make sure their company is as profitable as possible. The
best ways to do this are to make sure that the company is operating at
its peak efficiency and that the company is using their money in the
best ways. Unfortunately many company executives do not realize that
their business management system may be costing the company money while
limiting efficiency.
When a company uses a multiple server environment to handle their
business management system it is creating waste and spending money on
storage space that will never be used. In a multiple server environment
each application and operating system that the company uses is placed on
its own dedicated server. Because the servers only hold the single
file, there is a large portion of the disk space that goes unused.
Additionally each server requires money to purchase, a place to store
it, maintenance and power to run. These costs and the unused space add
up quickly when multiple servers are used to hold a company’s
information.
Using a virtualization platform gives the company the ability to
condense their applications and operating systems onto a single server.
The server can then be accessed through other virtual machines that
share the server’s resources. This allows companies to eliminate the
wasted space that multiple servers can accrue and limits the costs
associated with running multiple machines.
Virtualization platforms are not without flaws. If they are not
protected and kept healthy they can slow down and become inefficient.
This limits their ability to perform their job and can make the company
spend more money than they would otherwise need to. Competition for
shared I/O resources can create conflicts when they are not prioritized
effectively, I/O bandwidth can bottleneck because of accelerated
fragmentation and wasted space can form when dynamic disks do not shrink
as data are deleted. To protect a virtualization platform from this
hazard it is important that a company install a
virtualization platform
disk optimizer.
V-locity 3 is a virtualization platform disk optimizer that eliminates
these problems and more through a unique blend of cutting edge
technologies. It will protect all VMware ESX/EXSi and Microsoft Hyper-v
hypervisor virtual platforms to create optimal conditions on the virtual
server.
IntelliWrite® technology prevents most fragmentation before it can
happen. This keeps the system running smoothly and efficiently. V-aware™
detects external resource usage from other virtual machines to
eliminate resource contention that will otherwise exist on the same Host
Server. CogniSAN technology helps
V-locity 3 detect external storage
usage on a shared storage system and perform optimization transparently
so as not to compete 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 machine is
using. V-locity 3 uses Automatic Zeroing of Free Space to zero out
unused data blocks on virtual disks and ease the compaction process.
Storage migration will reclaim unused free space to improve VM density
and energy efficiency. InvisiTasking® ensures that these processes take
place in the background of regular operations and do not interfere with
normal activity.
Virtualization platforms offer companies the ability to operate more
efficiently and save money when compared to their old multiple server
environments. The company must make sure to protect the server from the
problems that can create slowdowns and reduce the advantages they hope
to receive. Installing V-locity 3 is a quick and easy way to protect a
virtual platform and make sure that the company is getting maximum I/O
performance.
