BURBANK, CA, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Diskeeper Corporation released today a new case study revealing how one savvy
IT director was able to stop the performance bottleneck slowing his network and
found
hidden gains in speed and reliability with one seemingly simple solution,
automatic defragmentation. The report goes further in-depth on the problem of
fragmentation(1), which plagues every computer from basic workstations to
modern virtual servers.
David Alfonso, the director of technology for Trinity School in New York
City,
details the problems with scheduled defragmentation and how he was able to
solve them. "We were doing defragmentation on a scheduled basis on the
weekend, but it just wasn't keeping up. It wouldn't finish." He knew he
needed a new solution to handle fragmentation effectively, so he turned to
Diskeeper(R).
The sophisticated background processing technology in Diskeeper, called
InvisiTasking(TM), takes care of fragmentation in real time, using only
idlesystem resources. This allows for consistent performance and reliability
without the
typical hassle and downtime of a manual or scheduled defrag.
"We've seen a two-fold increase in speed with Diskeeper," Alfonso continues.
"With the old software if you tried to run a backup and do a defrag at the
same time you had a problem. Now Diskeeper continues working behind the scenes
without interrupting your daily work schedule."
Although IT staff have known that defragmentation is essential to improve
their
network environment, now automatic defragmentation is necessary to keep
systems running at peak performance at all times.

Notes:
(1) Fragmentation: a condition caused by users writing, deleting and
resizing
their computer files on the hard drive. This causes the files to be become
scattered or "fragmented" into many pieces. The more fragmented these pieces of
information are, the longer it takes the computer to read them. Fragmentation
is a major cause of performance degradation on computers.
