Author: Virtualoctane for ESX
- Increase VMs per server
- boost performance
- improve heavy i/o workloads
- increase resource utilization
I talked to InovaWave at their booth in the Solutions Exchange. Interesting product. They claim they can provide acceptable performance for larger deployments of Exchange and SQL as VMs. I asked if an agent was installed on each ESX host and was told it was a “driver”. You then configure this driver to optimize specific VMs. So, I wondered “what about DRS?” and I was told that Virtualoctane allows you to scale back DRS because resource contention is minimized. “How about HA?” was my next thought – once the VM restarts on the next ESX host the local driver picks it up there.
