An automated virtual machine storage management package, vOptimizer Pro, enables customers to reclaim over-allocated and unused space in Windows virtual machines.
The software also automates storage reclamation from Windows guest operating systems in order to reduce storage requirements and improve virtual machine performance.
The maker says that, typically, 50 to 80% of a virtual machine’s footprint is unused space allocated at the initial point of provisioning. However, vOptimizer Pro lets users reclaim this storage capacity by inspecting the virtual machine’s file system and then resizing the partition while also streamlining the guest operating system.
Free-space quotas allow administrators to specify the amount of storage headroom required by various category of virtual machines. Additionally, rules can automatically reduce or increase volume size.
The Irish distributor, Commtech, notes: “Virtualised storage can often be one of the most expensive components of a virtual infrastructure, but customers continue to rely on educated guesswork to predict their storage requirements. It can also be difficult and time consuming for customers to properly manage and maintain their storage deployments, leading to a significant cost for storage that can be reclaimed and reallocated with this solution.
With vOptimizer Pro users can
• reduce storage allocations by up to 80%
• customise rules and profiles for easy setup
• specify space for each virtual machine
• create reports depicting cost savings
• lower storage and IT maintenance costs
• accelerate disaster recovery
