  BURBANK, CA, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
As most of us know, slow computer system performance impedes company
production. When tasks aren't done in a timely manner, it means business
isn't done in a timely manner, which means goods or services aren't
delivered in a timely manner, and customers don't pay in a timely manner.

    But in the data center, slow performance has another side effect: the
Help Desk phone starts ringing off the hook. Tickets start multiplying
like rabbits. IT staff are suddenly off their normal jobs and onto
tracking down performance issues. To make it all worse, the mood with
which the users are communicating is not the happiest one. 

    The thing is, despite what the occasional misguided management person may
think, most users really want to do their jobs well. If nothing else, it
means job security and possible future raises and promotions. When
something gets in the way of users getting their jobs done, they get
irritated, and unfortunately that irritation lands right in the lap of IT
personnel. 

    The prime enemy of performance is file fragmentation. No matter what
other steps are taken, if file fragmentation is not addressed,
performance will continue to worsen. The most effective method of dealing
with file fragmentation is automatically preventing it altogether --
which Diskeeper(R) 2010 performance software, utilizing its proprietary
IntelliWrite(TM) technology, was designed to do. 

    "Since installing Diskeeper, I have seen a lot less tickets relating to
blue screens or extremely poor performance due to corrupt files and
extreme fragmentation," said Robert Keegan, IT Support with Lynch Group
in Moorebank, New South Wales, Australia. "Also the users are generally
happier about their computers because they don't have to wait for so long
for their computers to load or process tasks."

    Utilizing IntelliWrite technology, a new revolutionary breakthrough,
Diskeeper intelligently writes files to the disk to prevent up to 85
percent of fragmentation from occurring. Coupled with Diskeeper superior
defragmentation technology, Diskeeper delivers a complete performance
solution for every Windows system at every site.

    "Diskeeper keeps the hard drives performing much better than they would
when using the built-in or other defrag methods," Keegan said. "We have
Windows 2003 servers running services such as file servers, Citrix, SAP,
Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint. All these services have
benefited from Diskeeper and IntelliWrite. All systems with Diskeeper
installed have had performance increases and maintained these increases."

    Not only does maximum performance mean maximum productivity, it means
happy users. And that can lead to a happier, less stressed IT staff.
