Product Information

PerfectDisk VMware Workstation bundle provides total automation and flexibility combined with robust central management to provide complete defragmentation of your VMware Workstation environment while eliminating resource contention, so your virtual environment runs better than ever.

Features

Dramatically Improve Performance

Proven to increase I/O throughput, and decrease I/O request latency by 35% or more. An exceptional value that's perfect for developers and test environments. PerfectDisk VMware Workstation enables the best possible performance for your virtual machines and maximises the performance of your storage solution. Using I/O prioritisation for zero resource overhead, PerfectDisk VMware Workstation optimises virtual machine file systems for increased IOP performance and the complete elimination of performance issues relating to split I/O requests.

Virtual Infrastructure Awareness Technology

Virtual infrastructure awareness technology monitors resource availability at the physical host level and enables high resource availability and intelligent real time I/O prioritisation during file system optimisation. This technology allows optimisations to occur dynamically between virtual guests so as to completely eliminate the resource contention caused by simultaneous optimisations.

Eliminate Host and Guest I/O Bottlenecks

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

Short Stroke Method for Thin-Provisioned Environments

New Short Stroke method improves optimisation speed and improves support for Thin Provisioned drives:

• Allows for optimisation of thin provisioned disks without introducing excessive growth.
• Works with the new Zero Fill pass in conjunction with thin persistent storage systems to reclaim up to 30% more storage.
• Accelerate the optimisation of large disk array by drastically shortening seek times for all electromechanical drive types and arrays.

Zero-Fill Free Space Saves Storage Space

Only PerfectDisk offers Zero-Fill free space capability that consolidates free space then zero-fills that space. When moving from a physical to virtual environment, zero-filling the free space after optimisation of the physical system saves storage space on the virtualised system. In a thinly-provisioned environment zero-filling a virtual machine after optimisation and then compacting it gives you a smaller machine that uses less storage. This also allows for recovering of zero-filled free space when using one of the growing number of zero-detect SANs from HP/3PAR or HDS.

VMware Technical Alliance Partner Solution

PerfectDisk VMware Workstation is a Native 64-bit application for exceptional performance on 64-bit guests. PerfectDisk VMware Workstation supports virtual machines of all server roles, including Clustered and non-Clustered SQL Server, Exchange Server and File & Print server roles.

Host based licensing – Unlimited Guests

Licensed per physical host, PerfectDisk VMware Workstation is a cost effective solution with exceptional ROI. Each licensed host supports unlimited guest licenses for easy license management and superior value. No additional costs per CPU or CPU core.
