Still on Diskeeper Server? Here’s four reasons to consider migrating to V-locity Server: 1. High performance. Whereas Diskeeper® Server, highlighted by IntelliWrite® technology, keeps Windows servers running like new, V-locity® Server™ goes a step beyond split I/O elimination with the inclusion of a server-side caching [...]
On contemplating the impact of his calculating engine, the world’s first computer, Charles Babbage wrote “In turning from the smaller instruments in frequent use to the larger and more important machines, the economy arising from the increase of velocity becomes more striking.” He said that in 1832. [...]
A major concern with virtual guest operating systems in a virtualized environment is the possible resource contention introduced as each virtual guest operates independent of the others. With respect to storage, Diskeeper Corporation’s V-locity 3.0 virtual platform disk optimizer mitigates over-utilization in two ways: First, each [...]
Overview The intensified demand for IT network efficiency and lower operating costs has been driving the phenomenal growth of virtualization in the past decade, with no signs of slowing. At present, many corporations run more virtualized servers than physical servers. While virtualization provides opportunity for [...]

Diskeeper (data performance for physical systems) and V-locity (optimization for virtual systems) are designed to deliver performance, reliability, longer life and energy savings. Increased performance and saved energy from our software are relatively easy to empirically test and validate. Longer life is a matter of minimizing wear and [...]
One of the most significant features in Windows 2008R2 (for Hyper-V) is Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) for virtual disks (vhd). This allows NTFS to behave similar to a clustered file system, addressing many limitations found in Hyper-V storage with the original release (Windows 2008). There are three online [...]

I had a test run here internally in order to make a point about what does, or more specifically "does not", happen when you VMotion/SVMotion a Windows Guest OS (GOS). We wanted to demonstrate that, while VMware is copying the VM to another host/storage, it does nothing about the [...]
