The Virtual Reality

Virtualization has the potential to reduce costs by saving money on physical footprint, power, hardware costs, and support personnel.  But the savings can only be realized if the virtual guests are properly maintained. File and free space fragmentation are known performance killers on virtualized Windows guests because they cause slower disk reads and disk writes.

Excess I/O activity, caused by fragmentation, creates resource contention between virtual guests and elevates resource usage on the vSphere host which in turn creates resource bottlenecks and slows system performance. File system fragmentation can only be addressed by logically defragmenting the files. SAN and/or RAID disk storage does not alleviate these problems and as a matter of fact, PerfectDisk 10 vSphere ESX will actually improve SAN/RAID performance.

Disk Optimization with Virtual Awareness

PerfectDisk 10 vSphere ESX is the only disk optimization/defrag solution that looks at resource usage at the host and guest levels.  It also includes a plug-in for enterprise management using vSphere and supports central management with vCenter and live migration with vMotion.

PerfectDisk 10 vSphere ESX uses its patent-pending Virtualization Awareness technology to transparently defrag files and consolidate free space into the largest possible contiguous piece for optimal read/write performance. Unlike other virtual defrag solutions, virtual guest operating systems running PerfectDisk 10 vSphere ESX will not compete with each other for system resources and they will reduce the total resource consumption on the vSphere host.

PerfectDisk 10 vSphere ESX includes the PerfectDisk 10 Enterprise Console for centralized management and reporting.
