Industry Leaders Acknowledge the Advantages of I/O Optimisation

LONDON, November 1, 2011 -

Attendees at the recent VMworld show in Copenhagen showed enthusiastic support for V-locity^® 3, Diskeeper Corporation’s latest release for virtual platforms.  Of particular interest were the product’s powerful features for optimising performance of VMs at the Windows^® client level by preventing excess I/Os in writing and reading data to and from storage.

Diskeeper Corporation exhibited at VMworld to introduce V-locity 3 and to speak with industry leaders including NetApp, IBM, EMC and VMware about optimisation technologies and the effects of fragmentation in the virtual environment.

VMware Certified Professional Cormac Hogan, who writes for the VMware vSphere blog, commented:

“V-locity 3 has proprietary IntelliWrite^®technology which optimizes file placement and attempts to prevent file fragmentation in the first place. It sounds like this could be a pretty cool product to evaluate if you believe that your Guest OS’es are suffering performance issues from excessive fragmentation.“

The international show, held at the Bella Centre in Copenhagen, saw thousands of IT experts attending, from system integrators and IT Managers to CIO’s and Company Directors.

Spencer Allingham, Technical Director at Diskeeper Corporation Europe comments:

“VMworld was the perfect venue for us to enlighten many industry professionals on the benefits of optimising a virtual platform by eliminating excessive I/O’s. An IDC Digital Universe Study projects that more than 35 trillion gigabytes will be created and replicated, worldwide, during this decade - that’s a lot of I/Os!”
