By: WooEB Multiple server environments have been around for a long time and were the standard way that companies stored their applications and operating systems. Placing each application and operating system on a single server allowed companies to ensure that their data was protected in the event that a server had problems, but it also required a large number of servers and money. Each machine had to be purchased, stored, powered and maintained as well as cared for by an IT administrator. This took tremendous capital and forced the IT admins to focus on repetitive tasks rather than other jobs that could benefit the company. Virtualization platforms solved these problems by giving companies a secure way to store information on a single server. Applications and operating systems are condensed onto a single server where they are kept in their own secure areas. This way a problem with a single piece of information does not affect the rest of the server and work can carry on as usual. Putting the information in one place also allowed the company to limit the money it took to operate the system. IT admins are able to quickly back up, archive and perform maintenance on the lone machine so that they can focus their attention on more important jobs. Virtualization platforms are not without problems. They are dynamic systems that respond to the needs of the moment but must be protected from common problems that cause resources to be inefficiently allocated and sacrifice I/O bandwidth. These problems include I/O bottlenecks as a result of continuous generation of unnecessary I/Os and create slower speeds. Resource conflicts as virtual machines compete for shared resources without knowing the exact hardware resource usage. Wasted disk space occurs when virtual disks that are set to dynamically grow do not shrink when data are deleted and create unusable free space. Getting around these problems is important and can be done by installing a virtual platform disk optimizer. V-locity 3 is a virtual platform disk optimizer that is designed to improve the performance and efficacy of all VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-v hypervisor virtual platforms automatically, intelligently and invisibly. V-locity 3 combines unique technologies to deliver the best optimization of virtual platforms and create faster virtual machine and host I/O throughput, increase virtual machine density, increase platform reliability, zero resource contention, optimize virtual resource usage within a shared storage system, increase hardware life and lower operating costs. IntelliWrite® Automatic Space Reclamation is used to zero out unused data blocks on virtual disks and ease the compaction process. This lets VMotion (VMware) or Live Migration (Microsoft) compact a disk on-the-fly when they migrate virtual disks. Because Automatic Space Reclamation happens online there is no need for a maintenance window. Special Virtual Disk Auto Detection lets each V-locity Guest conform its optimization settings to the type of virtual disk that the virtual machine is using. V-locity 3 ensures that these processes take place invisibly in the background with InvisiTasking® Virtualization systems offer incredible benefits over the outdated multiple server environments that some companies choose to use. Faster speeds and much improved IT network efficiency reduce the fixed costs for a business and allow IT admins more time to focus on important tasks. Making sure that they platform is kept healthy is a big part of maximizing the benefits and using V-locity 3 is the most effective software to use. # # # WooEB Community is a business, music and social networking community.
