Virtual Platform Disk Optimizing Software Provides Efficiency Solutions for Virtualization Platforms

Aug. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Company executives are constantly striving to find new and better ways to increase their company’s output while limiting their overall fixed costs. This means that they are constantly exploring new ways to streamline operations. Recently many companies have begun switching to virtualization platforms because of the benefits they receive in the form of increased IT network efficiency and greatly reduced operating costs when compared to a multiple server environment.

Using a multiple server environment to store operating systems and applications was standard for many years. Putting each operating system and application on a different server meant that the data was accessible and safe, but it also caused a tremendous amount of waste. The servers used to store the data rarely housed more than one single file and the rest of the space was left unused. Additionally IT administrators have to spend much of their time dedicated to making sure that servers were working properly. Each individual machine had to be backed up, archived, and routine maintenance had to be performed. The time these tasks take adds up and prevents the IT admins from focusing on more rewarding jobs.

Using a virtualization platform allows a company to eliminate these problems. The company can store all of its operating systems and applications on a single server and access the server’s resources by using different virtual machines preventing the accumulation of wasted space that occurs when a number of different servers are used.

IT admins are also freed from the work that binds them to caring for the many different servers in a multiple server environment. Having only a single machine to run frees their time to focus on more productive work. Best of all a virtualization platform will not create a security compromise for a company. Each operating system and application is stored in its own secure area so that if one area has a problem it will not affect the others.

Virtualization is a great step forward for companies that want to reduce their overhead costs as well as improve their overall efficiency but the technology is not perfect. There are problems that can arise on a virtualization platform that will cause the platform to run slowly and reduce the advantages that company sought to gain. These problems are most often recognized as I/O bandwidth bottlenecking faster due to accelerated fragmentation, virtual machine competition for shared I/O resources not being prioritized effectively across the platform and virtual disks that are set to dynamically grow not resizing when data are deleted.

It is not difficult for a company to avoid these problems; they just need to make sure that they are using the proper protection. V-locity is a virtual platform disk optimizer that will eliminate these concerns and more to make sure that a company’s virtual platform is providing the maximum performance and maximum efficiency.

V-locity uses a unique blend of technologies to provide faster backup speeds, reduced resource conflicts, increased disk space, faster boot time and longer life for the hardware that is being used to run the platform. These advantages make V-locity the most effective way to protect a virtualization platform from the conflicts that can arise and provide the company peace of mind knowing that they are using their platform to the fullest potential.

Switching to a virtualization platform is one of the most effective ways that a company can improve the way that they operate and reduce their operating budget. It is crucial that after switching to a virtual platform the company takes the right steps to protect their new technology and avoid the obstacles that are known to cause issues. Installing V-locity is the best way to ensure efficiency and the only way to get maximum I/O performance from virtual machines.
