Stop Wasting Space on Your Server, Upgrade to a Virtualization Platform

Storage space is maximized and IT administrators are freed from having to care for multiple machines.

Aug. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- The number of companies using virtualization platforms has risen dramatically in the last few years. The increase in popularity stems from companies seeking more efficient ways to manage their IT network and reduce the costs of operations. When companies switch to virtualization platforms they realize numerous advantages over multiple server environments.

Multiple server environments are the old standard for storing information. Each application and operating system would be stored on its own dedicated server that held little, if any, other information. Spreading the information around in this way creates a vast amount of wasted space on the server that is not going to be used again. At the same time it severely hinders the ability of IT administrators to focus their attention on anything but upkeep and maintenance on the multiple machines.

A virtualization platform allows companies to condense all of their operating systems and applications onto a single server. This allows them use the maximum amount of space on the server while still accessing the information using different virtual machines that share the single server’s resources. Storage space is maximized and IT administrators are freed from having to care for multiple machines.

There are several problems that can occur after switching to a virtualization platform that will prevent it from operating at maximum efficiency. I/O bandwidth bottlenecks faster due to accelerated fragmentation, virtual machine competition for shared I/O resources is not prioritized effectively across the platform and virtual disks that are set to dynamically grow do not resize when data are deleted. When these problems occur it is difficult for the computers to maintain speed and reliability.

Avoiding these problems is important and it can be done quickly and without a great investment by installing a virtual platform disk optimizer. A virtual disk optimizer like V-locity from Diskeeper Corporation makes sure that the platform runs as fast as possible and performs up to the highest standards.

Using a unique combination of technologies V-locity is the best way to achieve maximum performance on a virtualization platform. IntelliWrite® Technology lets the computer write much larger sequential disk I/Os from Windows virtual machines and helps create less work for the copy-on-write technology that copies/tracks ever write. With InvisiTasking® Technology V-locity is guaranteed to operate in the background of the platform and avoid cutting across the production needs of other virtual machines.

Some companies run virtual platforms that use special virtual disk types. V-locity features Virtual Disk Intelligence that that identifies the special disk type and works specifically with that disk to maximize the highest performance possible. For companies that use Thin/Dynamic disks that are set to dynamically grow V-locity uses Virtual Disk compaction to provide an easy way to compact the wasted free space that accumulates when the disks do not shrink after data are deleted.

Using a virtualization platform is the best way to eliminate IT network inefficiencies and receive the best performance from your business management system. Eliminating wasted time and space pays off in ways that are impossible to achieve using multiple server environments. To get the maximum I/O performance from the virtual machines it is important to install V-locity virtual platform disk optimizer.
