Award-winning Diskeeper Software adopted by ATLAS Consortium in support of Defence Information Infrastructure.

Diskeeper Corporation’s multi-award-winning defragmentation software Diskeeper® has been chosen as part of the EDS led ATLAS Consortium’s package for the Defence Information Infrastructure ‘Future’ project. This ten year defence procurement programme is aimed at developing, implementing, managing and delivering a wide range of services to the Ministry of Defence and its personnel.

Over the last few years Diskeeper Corporation Europe has worked closely with EDS, and is proud to announce Diskeeper’s inclusion in the DII build as the solution to the fragmentation issue.

So what is fragmentation? Furthermore, why is defragmentation so imperative to maintaining a sound and efficient computer network system? Fragmentation can be defined as whole files that are broken up into numerous pieces and scattered to various locations on the hard drive. Fragmentation also occurs through the removal of contiguous free space across the hard drive. Although unknown to some, fragmentation occurs in our systems every time we use them, gradually slowing them down and sometimes even causing them to freeze completely.

This is where Diskeeper’s latest revolutionary software technology comes into play, by using a new automatic background processing technology called InvisiTasking™. This unique feature makes Diskeeper the only defragmenter that can truly deliver transparent operations. System Administrators simply install the software and let it defragment their networks. The new Diskeeper 2007 detects fragmentation the instant it appears and eradicates it on the spot. With Diskeeper 2007, there are no overheads and files are put back together without the user even noticing. The only evidence will be the increase in efficiency of the computer.

The development and release of Diskeeper 2007 with its revolutionary InvisiTasking technology is further strengthening Diskeeper Corporation’s position as the world’s Number One Automatic Defragmenter™. Thomas Doria, VP Sales, Diskeeper Corporation Europe commented: “We are happy that Diskeeper was included in the DII build and look forward to Diskeeper being of assistance to them in the future.’”

About the ATLAS Consortium
The ATLAS Consortium is responsible for delivering the Defence Information Infrastructure (Future) project for the UK Ministry of Defence. ATLAS is led by EDS, with Fujitsu Services as a Tier 1 partner, General Dynamics, LogicaCMG and EADS Defence and Security Systems Ltd (Cogent) as tier 2 partners and IBM and HP as exclusive capability partners. ATLAS was awarded the contract for increment 1 of DII (F) in March 2005, with a budget of approximately US$4.0 billion (£2.3 billion).

The DII single information infrastructure will eventually provide IT services for about 300,000 users on around 150,000 terminals across approximately 2,000 MOD sites worldwide. It will mean that people have an IT infrastructure that supports collaborative working, provides faster and more secure communications and enables teams to store and retrieve information at anytime, anywhere.

Award winning Diskeeper 2007: Still the world’s Number One Automatic Defragmenter™

Diskeeper Corporation is proud to be able to maintain its hold as the world’s Number One Automatic Defragmenter. 2006 has been a great year for the company, but not just for Diskeeper itself but the companies and individuals that Diskeeper products have reached.

This year Diskeeper Corporation will be aiming to continue this success with Diskeeper ® 2007. Diskeeper 2007 has already been released and this new version is experiencing a tremendous success among its users. Nigel Henry an Assistant Consultant at WAVE Solutions Information Technology described the software as a “product that does not need to be recommended, as it sells itself. We have been using your product for seven years and will be continuing to do so. We've been running Diskeeper 2007 for a few weeks now. I must say that we have been impressed with this new version, especially the Invisitasking technology as I don't even need to check my machines anymore.”
InvisiTasking™, is a groundbreaking new technology that allows you to defragment your computer without scheduling and without really doing that much more than installing the software. Taken from the words "invisible" and "multitasking," it is the culmination of years of effort on the part of Diskeeper Corporation, to develop a kind of software engine which would eliminate all resource conflicts while its famous defragmentation software could safely and legitimately run invisibly in the background at any time -- on the busiest of servers.

Diskeeper 2007 is a unique piece of defragmention software that enables even the most technically minded to just “Set It and Forget It”®. “I'm a computer tech and I do know what to do to keep my computer ‘on the rails’ (as we say in France) which means running fast and smoothly. So every once in a while, I check my hard drive state like I used to before I installed Diskeeper and, well, I'm a little disappointed because I have nothing to do ! This software beats me and is a real help in defragmenting my drives: two thumbs up!” Chris Elsass, France.

Diskeeper’s new automatic era, boosting system performance!

A New Year is upon us and Diskeeper Corporation has brought unique and innovative software to the defragmenting world. Diskeeper ® 2007 has been released and this new version is already experiencing a tremendous success among its users. So what makes Diskeeper 2007 so unique? Diskeeper 2007 is the first truly automatic defragmenter which defragments files on the go without any impact on the system.

In the past defragmentation software has been designed to run manually. This meant that whilst defragmentation was taking place resources were being used regardless of other demands on the system. This inevitably led to poor system performance and defragmentation jobs taking an unacceptably long time. Diskeeper’s primary innovation was that it ran in the background, defragmenting files and free space periodically. Subsequent versions of Diskeeper introduced scheduling, which allowed the user to control when Diskeeper would run and when it would not. It also used I/O throttling which meant that Diskeeper would wait when production demands were using the computer’s input-output resources. This therefore reduced the overhead of Diskeeper by utilising otherwise unused computer resources.

With the new Diskeeper 2007 defragmentation software, innovative new technology such as InvisiTasking™, allows you to defragment your computer automatically. This means that all you have to do is simply install the software and Diskeeper 2007 will do the rest. This is a major advancement from previous defragmenting software, where even though the software has worked in the background you still had to schedule it to defrag your computer. Diskeeper 2007 detects fragmentation the instant it appears and eradicates it on the spot. The most significant point is that it will do this without interfering with production at all. There is therefore no longer any need to worry that defragging your computer will lose you time or production, but instead makes Diskeeper Corporations “Set It and Forget It”® trademarked phrase one you can rely on.
