What does Veloxum software do?
Veloxum software with ACO actively and continuously optimises existing virtualisation infrastructure and application settings to maximise workload density and reduce TCO up to 50%.
ACO stands for Active, Continuous Optimisation.
ACO is Veloxum software’s underlying process. ACO works by first collecting many millions of periodic metrics from the virtual and physical infrastructure. Next, its patent-pending mathematical algorithm distills the large amount of data in the metrics database to what it deems relevant, and analyses that information for what may increase capacity utilisation and performance. Then, ACO automatically applies these new configuration settings to the environment (or by option manually), keeping within manufacturers’ supported ranges. ACO then does a final test and records the results. And, because it operates continuously, ACO periodically repeats the process.
Veloxum software enables its users to get more from their existing virtualisation infrastructure by optimising underlying application settings to maximise workload density. Veloxum customers have reported reducing their VMware TCO by up to 50%.
What kind of settings does Veloxum optimise?
Veloxum software optimises OS and application settings. These include memory, network, CPU, and storage settings for virtual and guest OS. Application settings are specific to each supported application. See the Administrator’s Guide for a complete list of optimised settings.
How is Veloxum’s technology different from products that simply collect performance data and check it against static thresholds?
Unlike other applications, Veloxum determines optimum OS and applications settings configurations for an existing environment each time it runs. It is neither a provisioning nor a predictive tool, although it is compatible and beneficial to both.
Yes. While Veloxum can run completely automatically, users can also run the software manually. In manual mode, users can review suggested settings changes prior to committing them. In manual mode, Veloxum can update all selected settings with a single update command.
Can I specify settings that Veloxum will not optimise?
Yes. If users wish to keep specific settings at a particular value, Veloxum will keep the user-specified values and optimise other dependent variables using the user-specified values.
Veloxum improves the performance and capacity for almost any Enterprise server configuration that includes a supported OS, either physical or virtual, or a supported application.
Veloxum customers include companies focused on government, financial services, healthcare, professional services, and manufacturing, among others.
Is Veloxum a monitoring solution?
While Veloxum collects, displays, and utilises metrics, it is not designed as a monitoring solution. Instead, its focus is to collect information to actively and continuously increase capacity utilisation and performance through computation of optimised server OS and application settings.
What is Veloxum’s pricing structure?
Veloxum software has up to three components, each priced separately. The primary component is the base software, which includes a console, collection d/b, and a reporting and correlation engine. Each OS, virtual or physical, requires an OS ‘connector’, which controls metric collection and settings updates. The last components are client ‘connectors’, which control metric collection and settings updates to individual client workstations. Contact your Veloxum sales representative for a price quote.
