The Indispensable Fully Automatic Defrag

BURBANK, CA, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
If you question any system administrator as to "indispensable" software
applications or utilities, you're likely to get any number of answers. You're
likely to also find some commonalities, though, such as anti-virus, firewall,
backup and
defragmentation. But in the case of defrag, the defragmentation technology being
used is a key factor -- one that bears examination by any enterprise.

File fragmentation occurs on all computers. Invented to better utilize
diskspace, fragmentation breaks files into pieces (fragments). While the disk
space is indeed better utilized, a serious problem is entered in due to
themultiple extra I/Os required to access all the fragments of a file.
Performance
is drastically affected, hard drive life is shortened by a third to half,
and system reliability can also come into question.

For many years, the common defragmentation solution has been scheduled
defragmentation; at times when a system isn't in use, defragmentation
couldbe scheduled to run. In today's computing environment, however, with its
enormous files and huge disk drive capacities, scheduled defrag is no
longer able to keep up with the fragmentation rates.

Many companies have found that the fully automatic defragmentation
providedby Diskeeper(R) is the only real way to keep pace with fragmentation.
Utilizing a
proprietary technology called InvisiTasking(TM), Diskeeper works invisibly, in
the
background, utilizing resources that would otherwise be idle. There is no
negative performance hit by the defrag process, and performance is always
maximized.

"The value of this product to our company is indispensable," says John
Kimmof The Power Station, an online radio station and music store. "Diskeeper
prevents
downtime of our servers and websites so we do not lose customers."

"Diskeeper is just one of those 'must have' utilities in my eyes," agrees
Shelly
Shinnick, Systems Administrator for Pate Engineers, Inc. of Houston, Texas. "We
have a large file server, full of AutoCAD drawings that get heavily
fragmented since they are constantly being modified. The server has 4TB of
attached storage and is at 80-90% capacity. I was getting daily complaints
about the file server being slow -- multiple times a day. I installed
Diskeeper and immediately the complaints stopped."

"After I installed Diskeeper, there wasn't really anything to do; it just
sits
there and runs in the background doing what it does," Shinnick concludes.

In today's computing environments with their constant access and frantic
rates of
fragmentation, Diskeeper's fully automatic solution really is indispensable
to constant uptime and performance.
