Amazing Review by a Microsoft MVP

“The results are clear… I really like this software” says Lorenzo Barbieri on his most recent Blog.
Lorenzo first blogged about his pre-release experience with VM Optimizer a couple days ago and had a comment from an individual saying in essence “I don’t get it. Can’t you get good results with off-the-shelf compaction?”
In this test Lorenzo took a 3.84Gb XP2 VHD and ended up with a 466MB VHD using VM Optimizer. Off-the-shelf compaction gave him a 1.61Gb VHD. The results acheived with VM Optimizer are out of this world fantastic! Furthermore, Lorenzo used WinRAR after using VM Optimizer and ended up with a 257MB archivable VHD! That is absolutely incredible!!!

Imagine, 2 VHDs on a single CD-R. Is that excellent transportability?

A Blog about VM Optimizer

Lorenzo Barbieri, a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT, MCSD.NET, MCDBA) in Italy, today has written an article about his pre-release experience and success with VM Optimizer. In his article he says such things as “…really impressive!” and “I’m really amazed of this product, everything is automatic, guided step-by-step, and the results are incredible.” and lastly “the time that I gain when I need to backup, copy or move them is priceless.”

We at Invirtus are honored that Lorenzo Barbieri has had such a wonderful experience with our product. This is exactly the results that we were thinking of when we researched, designed and developed the software!

Dear T.C.
Question 1. Describe the improvements you experienced using VM Optimizer to create a smaller VM compared to “off-the-shelf” compaction.

Your Answer: It works as stated. This tool rocks! Others don’t have the results that make compacting worth while.

Question 2. Describe/explain the time, cost and/or convenience you are able to recover in transmitting, backing-up or sharing the VM compared to whatever previous process you may have used.

Your Answer: Anytime you can reduce the size of a file there is a cost savings and the convenience is time.

Question 3. Do you have possibilities and/or capabilities that didn’t previously exist because VM Optimizer enables you to have smaller/faster VMs? (e.g. Because your VMs are 3-5x smaller as a result of using VM Optimizer you’re now able to easily share VMs with co-workers which increases capacity/effectiveness.)

Pre-release Review by L.B.

Dear L.B.
Question 1. Describe the improvements you experienced using VM Optimizer to create a smaller VM compared to “off-the-shelf” compaction.

Your Answer: It’s really easy, you start the program, it prepares everything for the compaction, then you start the Virtual Disk Wizard and do the final step. It’s much better than finding the right files to delete, defragment the virtual hd, pre-compact it and the do the final step.

Question 2. Describe/explain the time, cost and/or convenience you are able to recover in transmitting, backing-up or sharing the VM compared to whatever previous process you may have used.

Your Answer: I can fit many more VMs in my notebook hd, without using an external one. I can also fit more VMs inside a DVD-R for Backup. I also succeeded in compacting a VM and fitting it into a CD-R.

Question 3. Do you have possibilities and/or capabilities that didn’t previously exist because VM Optimizer enables you to have smaller/faster VMs? (e.g. Because your VMs are 3-5x smaller as a result of using VM Optimizer you’re now able to easily share VMs with co-workers which increases capacity/effectiveness.)
