Peak Performance on Virtual InfrastructureVirtualisation is a powerful solution allowing you to minimise your server requirements and provide total flexibility in provisioning systems. Unfortunately, it comes with a hidden cost, in that now all the I/O traffic that was spread across multiple servers is now funnelled into a single path to your storage system. This now becomes the bottleneck to obtaining maximum server performance from your virtualisation infrastructure.
The problem
V-Locity 3 is the Best Virtualization Software UtilityThe technology has been specifically engineered by Diskeeper Corporation to dramatically improve system performance and efficiencies on all VMware ESX / ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual platforms.

Technology Overview
V-locity optimizes the performance on your entire virtual platform. It eliminates resource management priority conflicts, operates in the background without affecting active system resources, maximizes I/O bandwidth efficiency and eliminates “bloated” free space on thin/dynamic disks. V-locity is the only solution of its kind and it does it all automatically.
On Windows® platforms, each V-locity component will optimize its respective OS, prevent up to 85% of all fragmentation, immediately eliminate existing fragmentation of files and consolidate free space. This minimizes unnecessary I/O's passed from the OS to the disk subsystem and aligns data on the drives for previously unattainable levels of speed and reliability. V-locity consists of two principal components. The V-locity Host component is installed in the host Hypervisor. The second component is the V-locity Guest, and it is installed in all Windows virtual machines. Set It and Forget It® automatic and real-time operation. IntelliWrite® technology prevents most fragmentation before it can happen, thus eliminating all the unnecessary I/Os involved in breaking files into pieces and reading back those pieces. V-Aware™ technology 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™ 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. Important: CogniSAN does this without intruding in any way into SAN-layer operations. InvisiTasking® technology allows all the V-locity 3 “background” operations within the Virtual Machine to run with zero resource impact on current production. 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 on‑the‑fly 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 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. Instant Defrag™ technology immediately eliminates fragmentation that hasn’t been prevented and minimizes unnecessary I/O passed from the OS to the disk subsystem. It aligns data on the drives for optimum access. Real-time Free Space Consolidation optimizes large blocks of free space for even faster writes to disk. V-Locity 3 Requirements
Host requires Windows 2008 (or R2) server with Hyper-V role. VMware: ESX and ESXi server versions 4.0 or later.
Guest supports the following operating systems:
Windows x64 support
Diskeeper supports native 64 bit mode on Windows 64 bit Operating Systems.
