V-locity 3 Virtual Platform Disk Optimizer
LONDON, August 31, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Cures Pains from I/O Bottlenecks, Slow VMs, Slow Migration, Resource
Conflicts, Wasted Storage Space and Slow Backup Speeds
Diskeeper Corporation announced at VMworld (Las Vegas) the release of
new V-locity(R) 3 virtual platform disk optimizer for VMware(R). V-locity 3
delivers invisible background optimization to give maximum I/O performance
on virtual servers.
V-locity 3 now has full integration with VMware ESXi as well as existing
support for other platforms such as ESX, and Microsoft Hyper-V(TM). Other
developments include V-Aware(TM) technology which detects external resource
usage from other virtual machines on the virtual platform and eliminates
resource contention that would otherwise exist on the same Host Server. New
CogniSAN(TM) technology detects external resource usage within a shared
storage system, such as a SAN, and allows for transparent optimization by
never competing for resources utilized by other VMs over the same storage
infrastructure. CogniSAN does this without intruding in any way into
SAN-layer operations. Lastly is the new automatic space reclamation which is
a powerful engine that zeros out unused data blocks on virtual disks and
makes virtual disk compaction easy.
"The biggest benefits I see are space reclamation and the I/O
improvement. And when the defrag process was required it was optimized for
the virtual environment. We would look to add V-locity to any new virtual
hosts and VMs." - Tom Berchenbriter, IT Director, Family Environmental
"A major concern with virtual guest operating systems in a virtualized
environment is the possible resource contention introduced as each virtual
guest operates independently of the others. With respect to storage,
V-locity 3 virtual platform disk optimizer mitigates over-utilization." -
Bill Moller, RainWorx
V-locity 3 is like a virtual doctor that eliminates many of the chronic
pains servers experience: I/O bottlenecks, slow VMs, slow migration,
resource conflicts, wasted storage space, slow backup speeds and many more.
Key Benefits:
- Faster VM and host I/O throughput
- Increased VM density
- Increased platform reliability
- Eliminated resource contention
- Optimized VM resource usage within a shared storage system
- Increased hardware life
- Lowered operating costs
- All done fully automatic and transparently
New Features:
V-Aware detects external resource usage from other virtual machines on
the virtual platform and eliminates resource contention that would otherwise
exist on the same Host Server.
CogniSAN detects external resource usage within a shared storage system,
such as a SAN, and allows for transparent optimization by never competing
for resources utilized by other VMs over the same storage infrastructure.
Important: CogniSAN does this without intruding in any way into SAN-layer
operations.
Automatic Space Reclamation. This powerful engine zeros out unused data
blocks on virtual disks and makes virtual disk compaction easy. It also
allows VMotion (VMware) or Live Migration (Microsoft) to compact a disk
onthefly when they migrate virtual disks. Automatic Space Reclamation occurs
online with no need for a maintenance window.
Special Virtual Disk Auto Detection. Allows each V-locity 3 Guest to
conform its optimization settings to the type of virtual disk/features the
VM is using, such as dynamic/thin disks and linked clones, for maximum
performance.
Components and User Requirements:
Consists of two core components: V-locity 3 Guest installs on all
Windows virtual machines. V-locity 3 Host Agent installs on any Windows
virtual machine over VMware ESX/ESXi, or directly on the Microsoft Hyper-V
hypervisor. Host requires Windows 2008 (R2) server with Hyper-V role.
VMware: ESX and ESXi server versions 4.0 or later. Guest supports the
following OS's: Windows XP (requires SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 (or R2).
V-locity 3 is designed to enormously improve the performance and
efficiency of all VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V platforms
automatically, intelligently and transparently. For further information,
