VM Storage Perfomance.
Today’s virtual environments demand constant application of effort towards maintaining the highest possible service levels with no overhead. Existing physical storage investments are not yielding their optimal benefit due to file system limitations at the OS level, and inefficient resource allocation leads to frequent service bottlenecks.
The V-locity® 3 virtual platform disk optimizer bridges the gap between virtual guests that are natively unaware of their environment. Patented technology found in V-locity enables communication between virtual machines to intelligently synchronize resource allocation, while groundbreaking IntelliWrite® technology prevents file fragmentation before it occurs, optimizing file placement and eliminating excess disk I/O.

V-locity 3 includes two new technologies which allow the V-locity Guest to sense an increase in disk I/O activity, regardless of whether the increased activity comes from the same virtual machine (VM), a different VM using the same physical resources, or even a different host connected to the same SAN fabric.
These technologies are CogniSAN (for detecting I/O activity at the SAN level) and V-Aware (for detecting I/O activity from other VMs). These new technologies allow the V-locity Guest to back off defragmentation jobs when it senses increased load in the I/O channel.
Used together with InvisiTasking technology, which continues to be used to detect disk and CPU load within the same VM, these new technologies extend InvisiTasking beyond the local VM or the local host and ensure that defragmentation does not impact other applications, even if they are running in other VMs or other hosts using the same SAN infrastructure.
