Diskeeper Real-Time Disk Defragment Software Eases Data Center Management by Automating Defragmentation Process

BURBANK, CA–(EMWNews – August 5, 2008) – Peak Performance has become a marketing

buzzword in the IT world, but overloaded data center management

professionals, inundated with promises of over-inflated benefits, know

that a combination of tools and tweaks is what ensures peak performance of

servers. They also know that regardless of how they create their systems

that defrag and choosing disk

defragment software is a necessity when considering how to get the best

performance out of their machines.

File fragmentation, regardless of infrastructure, is a headache that just

isn’t going away. In fact, the proliferation of large multimedia files

today exacerbates fragmentation creating an even larger drain on system

resources.

Web browsers alone create many fragmented files. As users visit web sites,

the operating system stores temporary files on the hard drive. Those files

are purged at some future

point — generally when the user clears the cache files but it is not

uncommon for a PC to store tens of thousands of these files simultaneously,

including images, cookies, scripts, and other file types. The result is a

patchwork of fragmented files that becomes an enormous drag on system

performance and health.

It is true that third party defragment software has come a long

way from the days of needing to manually defragment a system, but in

today’s harsh operating environments, IT managers need software that goes

beyond scheduling to avoid system slows caused by fragmentation between

scheduled runs.

Real-time defrag, called

InvisiTasking, included with Diskeeper 2008, is the most innovative defrag

technology on the market that is built to automatically defragment files

transparently in the background.

Using idle resources, InvisiTasking defragments systems without impact on

system speeds. So although file fragmentation is still one of today’s

greatest drains on system resources, IT managers and system administrators

can eliminate this problem from their equation when working to enhance

system performance.

Diskeeper 2008’s InvisiTasking also makes possible single machine defrag

that in the past was impractical due to the time and labor involved in

manually defragging individual machines. Because no intervention is

required, the innovative disk defragment utility keeps every machine

defragmented all the time.

Installing defrag software that

works across networks and supports multi-terabyte server volumes as well as

disk defragment software that supports very high-capacity drives and

handles extremely large files with ease is the first critical step toward

achieving maximum performance from servers.
