Increase Efficiency on Virtualization Platforms by Installing Protective Software to Ensure Maximum I/O Performance

Trying to find ways to save money and increase profits is an important aspect of any business. Companies spend hours trying to squeeze every last cent out of their budget and analyzing their operations to find where money is being wasted. Some companies fail to examine their business management system, where multiple server environments can keep costs high and create inefficiencies in the business operations. To avoid these extra costs and slowdowns a company should install a virtualization platform to increase their profits and enhance their business.

Multiple server environments are the old standard for business management systems. They require that each application or operating system be placed on a dedicated server so that they will remain available in the case that one of them is infected with a virus or has another problem that renders it unusable. Using multiple servers creates incredible expenses associated with purchasing, storing and maintaining each server. Multiple server environments also waste a large amount of space. Because each server only holds a single application or operating system, the remaining free space on the servers is not used to store additional information. Across multiple servers the company ends up paying for lots of space that it will never use.

Adopting a virtualization platform will help a company eliminate these expenses and wasted space while providing the same level of protection for the applications and operating systems. On a virtualization platform information is consolidated onto a single server that can be accessed by different virtual machines. Each application and operating system is stored in a dedicated secure area so that a problem in one area will not affect the others and programs can continue to be used. Consolidating the information saves money by reducing the number of servers needed to operate the system and increasing efficiency.

Virtualization platforms offer many advantages as long as they are kept healthy. If a server is not properly protected problems can arise that cause wasted space to form on the server and I/O bandwidth to bottleneck due to accelerated fragmentation.  These problems can cause the entire system to perform less efficiently and render the platform less of a value than if it were taken care of properly. Protecting a virtualization platform is as easy as installing V-locity 3 virtualization platform disk optimizer. This software is specifically designed to use a unique blend of technologies that will protect any VMware EXS/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-v hypervisor virtual platforms

IntelliWrite® Technology prevents most fragmentation that will happen on the platform before it can occur to keep the platform running at optimal speeds with little lag. V-aware™ is used to detect external resource usage from other virtual machines and eliminate any resource contention that would otherwise exist on the Host Server. CogniSAN technology detects external storage usage on a shared storage system and will perform optimization transparently to not compete with other virtual machines for resources.

Special Virtual Disk Auto Detection allows each Guest on V-locity to conform its optimization settings to the specific virtual disk that the machine is using. Automatic Zeroing of Free Space is done to zero out unused data blocks that form on virtual disks to ease the compaction process. Storage migration reclaims unused free space to improve VM density and help encourage energy efficiency. To ensure that these tasks do not interfere with normal operations, InvisiTasking® technology allows the processes to be performed invisibly in the background.

Virtualization platforms can help companies improve their bottom line and streamline their business to achieve the best results possible. To make sure that the platform continues to operate efficiently and the advantages are not lost it is important that a company protects the system with a virtualization platform disk optimizer. V-locity 3 will provide companies with peace of mind that they are receiving the best protection and maximum I/O performance from their virtual server.
