A Boost To Vsphere Performance Via Vsphere Defrag -- Real World, Real Company

A clear sign of just how important virtualization technology is becoming is to see its implementation and real--world application in companies of all sizes. If you pick up a business or business technology publication or read one online, chances are pretty good that if there is an article about virtualization performance or virtualization in general, there will be plenty of references to some of the world's largest enterprises. It makes sense, I suppose, as those are the companies whose names we all recognize, whose technology implementations tend to lead the way in innovation, and whose productivity gains and cost cuttings have the biggest eye-opening numbers.

Carneiro, Chumney & Co. is one of San Antonio's and south-Texas' largest and most experienced accounting firms. They're good at what they do, which is why they have the stellar reputation they do. The firm includes about 65 dedicated professionals. The company's IT manager is Paul Deen, who has brought in VMware technology to help control costs while ensuring performance at the firm. Among the multiple servers Deen oversees are two physical servers that run VMware. Running VMware on these 2 servers brings the number of virtual servers Deen is running to 9.

With VMware allowing him to run 9 server instances on just 2 physical servers, Deen has kept costs under control while maintaining a high-performing computing environment for the staff, which does a lot of number crunching and generally requires high-speed systems. He also recognized early on in the virtualization planning that disk fragmentation is just as much an issue as in the physical world. Perhaps even more so, as he also needs to content with resource contention.

This brought Deen to PerfectDisk, specifically the PerfectDisk vSphere Bundle, which includes virtual aware defragmentation as well as central management to make the management task simple. Virtual aware defrag helps eliminate vSphere guest I/O bottlenecks and improve vSphere performance. As Deen stated in a recent press release, 'PerfectDisk's vSphere-specific solution is automatically aware of the virtual disk environment, automating the process of keeping our vSphere environment running as fast as possible. Its central management makes it easy to keep on top of all our servers, and the software itself keeps disks running at top performance, reduces system errors and speeds up overall server processing time.'

Carneiro, Chumney & Co.'s experience with virtualization and virtualization performance tuning via vSphere defrag is just one story of many examples of virtualization defrag in action, helping real businesses. You can read the press release here.
