Virtualization and Disk Performance

Overview

Virtualization marks the next evolution in data storage technology. This white paper analyzes the virtual machine, performance-threatening dangers, and their real-time solutions.

Virtual disks are uniquely susceptible to fragmentation and its capsizing effects. Because of the inter-communication between virtual disks and the host systems, server virtualization actually compounds fragmentation. This accelerated build-up leads to severe problems such as freezes, hangs, crashes and even system failures. Read this white paper now to find out how to automatically eliminate and prevent fragmentation on virtual machines.
