Virtual Platform Disk Optimizer for VMware and Hyper V

V-locity optimizes the performance on your entire virtualized 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

Peak Performance on Virtual Infrastructure

Virtualisation 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

I/O bottlenecks occur from the constant production of unnecessary I/O's. As your system ages, fragmentation count increases causing these I/O bottlenecks that slow down the entire virtual platform.
You will also experience Resource conflicts caused by the virtual machines competing to access shared I/O resources. Virtual machines have no knowledge of hardware resource usage and becomes a burden on the performance of the over-all platform. Overloaded disk I/O traffic from one VM will run slower and also slows the I/O speed of all other virtual machines on that platform.
Wasted disk space. The virtual disks are set to grow but not shrink when users or their applications remove user data. This 'wasted space' cannot be allocated to the pool of available storage space. The result is prolonged backup times and system migrations.

V-Locity 3 is the Best Virtualization Software Utility

Benefits:

Peak Performance on all Virtual Machine and Host I/O throughput

Improved Virtual Machine density

Significant platform reliability gains

Zero System resource conflicts

Intelligent resource allocation within a shared storage system

Extend the life of hardware investments

Reduce your operating costs

Technology Overview

IntelliWrite® technology is a technology that has been engineered to prevent the bulk of fragmentation before it happens.
V-Aware™ technology provides the intelligence to effectively manage resource usage by providing awareness of the activity from other virtual machines to stop resource conflicts on the same Host Server.
CogniSAN™ technology has been engineered specifically for environments that include external resource usage such as a SAN. CogniSAN provides resource optimization to ensure virtual machines never compete for resources utilized by other VMs on the same infrastructure.
InvisiTasking® technology monitors available system resources and will allocate these to V-Locity 3 for background optimization. It is designed to ensure no negative impact on system performance. As resources utilized by V-Locity 3 are required by VMs, InvisiTasking automatically stops V-Locity 3 activity and returns the resources to the available system pool.
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.
Set It and Forget It® automatic and real-time operation.

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.
