Even if you have a fast array and storage network, and you are still experiencing high storage latencies for your high throughput VMs, it might be because of choked Queue Depths at the VM and virtual LUN device in the host. This problem will happen only if a few VMs…
If your SQL Server runs in a VMware VM and it has performance issues, the root cause of which is slow storage, then our host side caching software for VMware, called VirtuCache, will be able to fix this problem. This post explains how VirtuCache does this by explaining the read…
If your Veeam backups take a long time to complete or if they fail entirely; VMs freeze during backups; you see disk consolidation errors in vcenter; or if you simply want to speed up your backups, then our VirtuCache software is relevant. VirtuCache Configuration to Speed Up Backup Times in…
