Storage maintenance firm Diskeeper has announced the launch of V-locity, a platform designed to optimise virtual storage environments based on Microsoft’s Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V platform.
Diskeeper said that virtualised storage can offer a host of benefits, including easier management and resource allocation, but pooling these devices into a single entity can bring new problems, including virtual disk I/O bottlenecks, poorly optimised disk usage and increased fragmentation at the host and guest levels.
