Dramatically improve VSphere performance

Testing performed on identical disks using VMware’s vscscStats show that defragmentation of Windows guest VM’s delivers significant performance and throughput improvements. The PerfectDisk defragmented disk produced the following:

36.5% reduction in total IO
31 times more writes greater then 524K
92% reduction in number of IO taking more than 50ms
40% reduction in total IO disk latency

PerfectDisk Latency Histogram PerfectDisk Using actual vscsiStats disk latency data we see the PerfectDisk defragmented disk (VM2) practically eliminated the total number of disk IO taking 50000µs (50ms) or longer. The mean latency for the two disks was 58ms for VM1 and 35ms for the PerfectDisk disk.

Eliminate vSphere Guest I/O bottlenecks

PerfectDisk 11 VSphere is a complete solution that optimizes your physical host, guest machines, and your storage solution to eliminate I/O throughput and I/O latency bottlenecks. This includes the optimization of both fat and thin provisioned virtual storage on both local and external RAID / SAN solutions.

Automatic background optimization with VIA Tech™

Virtual Infrastructure Awareness Technology (VIA Tech™), is a patent pending solution in PerfectDisk 11 VSphere that monitors resource availability at the physical host level. VIA Tech™ enables high resource availability and intelligent real time I/O prioritization during file system optimization. This technology allows optimizations to occur dynamically between virtual guests so as to completely eliminate the resource contention caused by simultaneous optimizations. PerfectDisk 11 VSphere also includes full support for Live Migration to track resource availability when virtual guest migrate from host to host.

Patented SMARTPlacement™ file optimization

SMARTPlacement™ is the most advanced file system optimization method available today. Featuring full customization, SMARTPlacement™ works with the file system to prevent the creation of performance bottlenecks by consolidating free space and reducing the amount of time and resources required to optimize a volume. Also eliminates split I/O requests and fragmentation while maximizing access times.
