Diskeeper First Defragmenter to Receive Advanced Microsoft Certification

East Grinstead, West Sussex, April 13, 2005-- Executive Software® European branch has announced that Diskeeper® Server Enterprise Edition is the first ever defragmenter to achieve Microsoft® certification for Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. These advanced level certifications require stringent testing and compatibility with Windows clustering on their respective platforms.

Diskeeper Server Enterprise Edition is the fastest and most powerful enterprise class defragmentation utility specially developed to handle volumes up to 4 Terabytes. As well as defragmenting huge disks with its Terabyte Volume Engine (TVE), Diskeeper 9.0 can also defragment up to sixteen disk volumes (logical drives) simultaneously.

A recent survey revealed that thousands of customers have deployed Diskeeper on their high-capacity enterprise level servers such as cluster servers and servers on Storage Area Networks (SANs). These enterprise-level servers that require the power of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition or Windows 2000 Advanced Server have unique defragmentation needs, which is why Diskeeper developers created the Terabyte Volume Engine included with Diskeeper 9 Server Enterprise Edition. TVE is the first and only defragmentation engine designed specifically to keep up with the daily defragmentation needs of mission-critical and enterprise-level servers. Using TVE and I/O Smart™ technology, Diskeeper can defragment ultra-large volumes in the background while the server is online, ensuring high performance and rock-solid stability with no delays or long waits for defragmentation.

Martin Gourdeau of Electronic Arts stated, “We use Diskeeper on our main file server. This particular system has [multiple volumes with] about 4 to 5 TB assigned to it from our SAN and needs constant defragmenting due to heavy use. “

Diskeeper 9.0 ships as specialised editions designed for each 'flavour' of the Windows server platform and for desktop editions from Windows 95 and upwards. Diskeeper 9.0 Server Enterprise Edition is available for sale and can be purchased through your favorite reseller. Trialware downloads are also available; access here.
