Reclaim VM Storage; Improve VM Performance
vOptimizer Pro is the only available storage optimization solution that finds and reclaims over-allocated VM storage and then
realigns 64K partitions to optimize VM performance.
First, vOptimizer Pro scans through vCenter Servers/ESX Hosts and individual VMs looking for and then adding up over-allocated
VM storage. Companies can instantly see just how much wasted virtual storage they have accumulated and how much money they
could save if they could reclaim this storage. Potential storage savings estimates are generated from customer entered information
including storage costs and desired VM free space.
Next, vOptimizer Pro right-sizes (shrinks) VMs to reclaim the over-allocated storage. This automated process enables customers to
use their existing storage more efficiently and cost-effectively. Also, vOptimizer Pro can locate and fix (enlarge) VMs that are
running out of storage - effectively preventing painful and costly VM outages.
Finally, vOptimizer Pro can now perform Windows 64K partition alignments to the newly sized VMs. This patent pending process
increases I/O throughput and reduces latency. This 64k partition alignment operation can significantly improve VM performance.
vOptimizer Pro is a unique solution that enables companies to quickly increase storage utilization, improve overall VM storage
performance, and substantially lower storage acquisition costs.
Quest Software vOptimizer Pro Datasheet
vOptimizer Pro Features: vOptimizer Pro scans through vCenter Server/ESX Hosts and individual VMs looking for and then adding up over-allocated VM
storage throughout data centers. vOptimizer Pro then executes the actual VM right-sizing operations to free up this over-allocated
storage. Additionally, vOptimizer Pro performs Windows 64K partition alignment that provides significant VM performance
improvement.
Specifically, vOptimizer Pro provides:
Unused Storage Scan vOptimizer Pro scans vCenter Server/ESX Hosts and individual VMs to locate and total the amount of all unused virtual storage.
vOptimizer Pro then presents a total storage savings estimate based on user entered values including storage cost and desired free
space. The ROI Scan is invaluable in gauging amounts of wasted storage and determining potential savings available by reclaiming
this lost space.
VM Storage Optimization Reclaiming and reallocating VM storage allows IT to utilize storage that has already been purchased, thus preventing or delaying
future storage acquistitions. vOptimizer Pro makes it easy to reclaim and reallocate unused storage in VMs through a single user
interface that allows administrators to resize VMs (up or down) based on business rules. Learn more...
Volume Resizing Rules Engine Reallocating unused storage in a fast, safe and dynamic way assures organizational agility and maximized resource utilization.
vOptimizer Pro allows users to define the amount of free space to be left on a particular VM (either by absolute value (in MB or GB)
or as a percentage of the VM size, helping reduce administration time and effort.
Detailed Storage Cost Reporting Having a clear understanding of storage utilization and costs, while being able to make real-time adjustments in allocations, allows
you to determine immediate value and ROI. vOptimizer Pro shows the financial impact of reclaimed storage per virtual machine
(VM), per host, and cumulative cost savings across the enterprise through historical detailed reports.
Windows Partition Alignment Proper partition alignment is fundamental for reduced latency and increased throughput in virtual machines. vOptimizer Pro uses a
patent pending process to align partitions on the 64k offset and on the 64k fold position ensures best possible performance for your
VMware software investment. Users can align volumes one at a time, or schedule multiple simultaneously to occur at non-peak
times, maximizing flexibility.
