Diskeeper Corporation
Diskeeper Corporation is an innovator in enterprise defragmentation software that enhances the performance and reliability of Windows computers. 90% of the Fortune 500 rely on Diskeeper® software to provide constant speed and uptime to their laptops, desktops and servers. Diskeeper delivers V-locity, a virtual platform disk optimizer. "Disk fragmentation can be worse in virtualized environments because physical drives serve multiple OSes and applications. Partners such as Diskeeper are broadening the portfolio of products that customers need as they deploy Microsoft virtualization solutions in the enterprise."Dai Vu, Director Virtualization Products, Microsoft Corporation.
Solution Description
Systems suffer from fragmentation a major cause of performance degradation. Virtual environments experience 2x the levels with "fragmentation on top of fragmentation" happening at the host and guests. Next, by consolidating 4 5 servers into one, a single storage device is forced to work overtime from 4 5x the I/O traffic. This means processing bottlenecks. And since multiple VMs share mutual resources, that "sharing" turns into competition for resources and performance hits. Lastly, because dynamic disks do not shrink as users or applications remove data, this creates VHD "bloat" wasting costly space that could otherwise be allocated to users.
Product and Service Offerings
V-locity synchronizes ongoing activity between host and guest systems. This minimizes unnecessary I/O passed from the OS to the disk-subsystem and aligns data on the drives for optimal access. In addition to defragmenting, it eliminates VHD bloat by compacting wasted disk space. This allows system administrators to efficiently allocate storage resources on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V deployments. V-locity fully synchronizes operations between host and guest systems, invisibly defrags "fragmentation on top of fragmentation" in virtual environments, eliminates virtual disk I/O bottlenecks and frees up vital space wasted by dynamic disks.
