vOptimizer WasteFinder

vOptimizer WasteFinder is powerful freeware product that scans through VMware vCenter Servers (formerly Virtual Center) to locate over allocated virtual storage and misaligned Virtual Machines (VMs). The vOptimizer WasteFinder Space and Alignment Report provides totals of wasted storage and also a potential savings estimate if the space is reclaimed.

This unique storage optimization solution allows organizations to determine whether they are wasting expensive storage assets, to locate which VMs will yield the best storage reclamation results, and to discover how much money they are really spending on unused virtual storage. Potential savings estimates are calculated using customer provided storage costs and free space requirements to ensure accuracy.

vOptimizer WasteFinder also locates all VMs that not properly aligned on 64K partition boundaries. Improperly aligned VMs experience decreased I/O throughput and higher latency. Optionally, vOptimizer Pro from Vizioncore can be purchased to quickly and easily reclaim wasted virtual storage and to align VMs to proper 64K partition boundaries.
