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 engine (IntelliMemory™) for performance boosts of 50% or more. With frequently-accessed data dynamically cached within available server resources, hot data no longer trudges the full distance from server to storage and back, consuming unnecessary bandwidth.

With IntelliWrite preventing split I/Os on write requests, and IntelliMemory caching active data on reads, this holistic approach to I/O optimization accelerates the entire IT infrastructure since unnecessary I/O traffic is now eliminated before it is pushed through server, network and storage.  

2. Network storage. Whereas Diskeeper Server is ideal for local server storage or direct-attached storage (DAS), V-locity Server is designed for network storage (SAN/NAS) since all I/O optimization occurs at the Windows OS layer, leaving the storage device untouched. With IntelliWrite, V-locity Server proactively eliminates split I/Os as close to the application as possible, and by caching active data within available server memory, IntelliMemory eliminates even more unnecessary I/O—preventing I/O traffic from traveling the full distance to storage and back. Since the storage subsystem is now processing considerably less I/O, bottlenecks are eliminated and more bandwidth is available. 

3. Solid-state storage. Already running solid-state in your storage arrays or server PCI-E? V-locity sits at the top of the technology stack at the Windows OS layer so the entire infrastructure—regardless of vendor—reaps the benefit of I/O optimization downstream. V-locity is proactive—meaning it prevents the surplus of unnecessary I/O from ever being created in the first place. This way, your SSD or HDD media isn’t dealing with the I/O mess after it has already wreaked havoc on your environment.

4. Benefit analysis. Unlike Diskeeper, V-locity comes with an embedded performance benchmark that allows users to see the before/after benefit of V-locity in their real-world environment and share the outcome with stakeholders prior to any kind of purchase commitment. This single-page report provides metrics like workload comparison, I/Os per second, latency, and more. 

For high-performance in environments that leverage advanced storage technologies, V-locity Server is the best bet to maximize your existing hardware investment and eliminate performance bottlenecks overnight.
