Diskeeper Saw 130% Growth in Adoption of V-locity 2.0

Diskeeper Corporation announced milestones in customer adoption of V-locity 2.0, its virtual platform disk optimizer designed to deliver invisible background optimization of all Windows Guest operating systems running on the VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V platforms. In addition, Diskeeper Corporation is offering a free 30-day trial offer of V-locity 2.0.

V-locity 2.0 was designed to create a virtual-specific product that not only performs defragmentation functions, but also synchronizes the complex and ongoing activity between host and multiple guest operating systems in a virtualized environment.

V-locity 2.0 frees up vital storage resources by eliminating virtual disk ‘bloat’. This is the wasted disk space that takes place when virtual disks are set to dynamically grow but fail to shrink when users or applications remove data. It actually compacts the virtual disk, thereby preventing waste and allowing IT Managers to better allocate virtual storage resources.

Diskeeper has seen 130 percent growth in adoption of V-locity 2.0 over the past couple months. Significant drivers in customer adoption are attributed to the solution’s powerful and easy-to-use new features including the breakthrough IntelliWrite fragmentation prevention technology originally introduced with Diskeeper 2010 performance software. Utilizing IntelliWrite technology, V-locity writes files to the disk to prevent up to 85 percent of fragmentation from occurring before it even happens.

The escalation of customers deploying V-locity 2.0 underscores that the solution is meeting a real customer need and highlights Diskeeper Corporation’s commitment to ensuring its customers are able to derive the most productive return on their technology investment.

"The momentum we’ve created in the first months of this solution’s availability is a strong beginning, and we’ve already seen enterprise wide adoption underway with several Fortune 1000 customers", said Michael Materie, product manager, Diskeeper Corporation. "The new successes we’re seeing affirm that customers are deriving value from V-locity 2.0 and recognizing that this solution is the best and only way to optimize performance across virtual networks."

"V-locity solves resource issues if running multiple regular Diskeeper as Guests. The biggest benefit is avoiding I/O contention; V-locity solves the disk I/O contention issue when running multiple VMs," said Kari Mikesell, Multisymmetric Inc. "My favorite feature is running the InvisiTasking technology across all VMs. Running 10+ VMs across 10 physical spindles on the HOST would not be possible without InvisiTasking managing I/O and timing of defrag events across all machines including the HOST. V-locity a must for VM Hosts & Guests OSes."
