Diskeeper With VMware Automatic Defragmentation
"Virtual severs suffer more from file fragmentation taking place at both the physical and virtual levels"
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 15, 2008 at 4:28 pmDiskeeper Corporation announced that its Diskeeper 2008 defragmenter has partnered with VMware to deliver maximum performance and reliability to virtual systems.
All servers suffer from file fragmentation. Virtual ones suffer even more so due to fragmentation taking place at both the physical and virtual levels. Without a professional grade defragmenter designed to address these issues, performance will surely slow to a crawl.
"As virtual machines share a common hardware platform, excessive and unnecessary use of hardware/storage resources by one VM slows not only the requesting VM, but all other VMs on that platform," notes Diskeeper Product Manager, Michael Materie.
"Defragmentation of VMware-hosted Windows’ operating systems with Diskeeper 2008 ensures optimized I/O traffic is generated by every VM — increasing performance for the entire VMware infrastructure."
