Virtualization Platforms Need Protection to Operate at Peak Efficiency, Install a Virtualization Disk Optimizer to Receive the Maximum Benefits of Your Platform

Companies are constantly searching for more effective ways to spend their money. Successful companies are able to evaluate their internal processes to find places where they can use a more efficient setup to create savings and increase the level of work that they are able to do. Recently many companies have found that virtualization platforms offer them superior results to multiple server environments for operating their business management systems.

Multiple server environments are the old standard way to set up a business management system. Each application and operating system is placed on a dedicated server which allows for added security. If one server experiences a problem the other systems are not affected. The cost of operating a multiple server environment is incredibly high and a lot of wasted space is created. Each physical server costs the company money to purchase, power, maintain and store. Because the majority of the servers are used only to store a single application or operating system, the remainder of the space is often paid for but unused.

Virtualization platforms prevent this unnecessary spending by eliminating the need for multiple servers. Virtualization platforms condense operating systems and applications onto a single physical server and other virtual machines are able to share the server’s resources. The information is stored on the server in separate secure areas to provide the same level of security as a multiple server environment would. Eliminating multiple servers saves the money it costs to set up multiple machines and eliminates space that goes unused in multiple server environments.

Virtualization platforms allow companies a great many advantages but there are several problems that can occur that will reduce the effectiveness of the platform. I/O bandwidth bottlenecks occur due to accelerated fragmentation on the virtual disk, resource conflicts between machines result in slower speeds and dynamic disks that do not shrink when data are deleted can result in space “holes” developing on the disk. To receive all of the benefits of virtualization it is important for a company to protect their platform with a virtualization platform disk optimizer.

V-locity 3 is a virtualization platform disk optimizer that uses a unique combination of technologies to ensure that any VMware ESX/ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-v hypervisor platforms will operate quickly and efficiently.

IntelliWrite® technology prevents most fragmentation that will occur on a virtual disk before it can happen to allow the system to respond quickly and run smoothly. V-aware™ will detect external resource usage from other virtual machines to eliminate resource contention that otherwise will exist on the same Host Server. CogniSAN technology detects external storage usage on a shared storage system and will transparently optimize the system to eliminate resource competition from other virtual machines.

Special Disk Auto Detection lets Guests on a V-locity 3 platform conform their optimization settings to the specific virtual disk used by the machine. Automatic Zeroing of Free Space zeroes out unused data blocks on the virtual disk to ease the compaction process. Storage migration reclaims the unused free space “holes” on the disk to improve the VM density and make the system more efficient. So that V-locity will not cut across resource needs of other programs InvisiTasking® technology ensures that the programs operate invisibly in the background.

Virtualization platforms are great ways for companies to upgrade their business management systems to receive benefits to their bottom line and their workplace efficiency. These benefits are only available if the system is kept in good working order. The best way to keep a virtualization platform in good condition is to install V-locity 3.
