Diskeeper Corporation Europe Delivers Time Efficient Software Solution

Diskeeper Corporation Europe pinpoints that a sluggish computer system will have an impact on productivity and will subsequently affect the Return of Investment in a negative way.

Despite the awareness about fragmentation most system administrators tend to neglect the problem, mainly because a thorough network defragmentation would be extremely time-consuming and costly.

Diskeeper 2007, the number one selling automatic defragmentation software, is the perfect solution to maintain high performance and network-wide reliability. Once installed on a server, system performance will be better and faster than ever before. Diskeeper 2007 is accomplished through a revolutionary technology called InvisiTasking™. For the first time, InvisiTasking™ allows vital performance enhancements to be carried out in the background utilizing idle system resources. As a result there is no need for scheduling or other system maintenance tasks overnight or on the weekends. InvisiTasking™ runs continuously and ensures that there won’t be any conflict in system resources or a loss in system performance.

In combination with Diskeeper 2007 Administrator Edition the deployment of defragmentation software on hundreds or thousands of workstations won’t be a tedious task anymore. Diskeeper 2007 Administrator Edition saves time and money by providing complete centralised management of Diskeeper operations for all machines in a company network, including installation, configuration, monitoring, updating, e-mail alerts and more. With simplified "policy-based" management of clients in existing or newly-defined groups, it’s possible to handle the problems of file system fragmentation across the entire site from a single workstation.

Diskeeper 2007 is now officially Windows Vista™ certified.

Diskeeper 2007 Volume Customers Disclose Reasons for Purchase Decision

Diskeeper Corporation Europe is proud to announce that its number one selling software Diskeeper 2007 has reached an all time high in positive customer satisfaction feedback.

After concluding a study based on comprehensive surveying of European volume licence customers, Diskeeper Corporation Europe reveals the main reasons for the constant level of trust and customer loyalty.

Enterprises which run Diskeeper 2007 on hundreds of their servers and on thousands of their workstations were able to denote considerable performance gains after deploying the software on their system. 62% of all surveyed IT-Directors pointed out that the chance of defragmenting their system while it is up and running was the most important feature in order for them to purchase Diskeeper 2007. The revolutionary new technology InvisiTasking™ makes this possible by running completely unobtrusively in the background.

Another feature that was greatly appreciated is the “Set It and Forget It”® mode, which allows the user to focus on different tasks whilst Diskeeper operates fully automatically.
Further aspects that were extremely important in the decision making process were peak system performance on servers, enhanced system reliability and the option to manage all processes from a single, central console.

Diskeeper Corporation Europe takes considerable pride in receiving thorough customer feedback on a regular basis and is therefore delighted to take everything that is being proposed into future consideration.

Diskeeper 2007 is now available in German, French and Italian with the Spanish version following shortly.

Fragmentation Affects Network and System Performance

A smooth running computer system and network is essential for any business or corporation in order for efficient day-to-day production to take place. There are many factors that can slow or even corrupt this process. Fragmentation is certainly one of these aspects, if not the most prominent. If it is not handled fragmentation can cause the computer and network to slow down dramatically and can sometimes even cause them to freeze completely which is why defragmentation software is so essential.

Fragmentation happens every time a system is used and has a dramatic effect on system performance as a whole.

Fragmentation can be broken down into the following two categories:

1. Whole files that are broken into numerous pieces and scattered across hard drives.

2. Free space on hard drives that is broken into various sections across the drives.

When a new file is downloaded, regardless of origin, the operating system has to quickly locate a section of free space for the file to reside. However, if the designated free space is smaller in size than the file in question, the excess part of the file spills into the next available piece of free space.

A good example of how fragmentation occurs can be seen when downloading from and using the Internet. When a file is downloaded from the Internet it is initially copied to a temporary location on the computer before being transferred to the intended location once the file download process completes. Therefore, depending on the level of fragmentation it can dramatically affect the time necessary to actually download and copy the file to the appropriate location. This also relates to any file transfers that are done over a local network. If one takes into account how many of these happen on a daily basis, fragmentation can have a staggering affect.

Defrag software, such as Diskeeper® by Diskeeper Corporation (www.diskeepereurope.com) is a key tool in combating fragmentation. Diskeeper defragments by searching and collecting every scattered piece of free space and consolidates them into one continuous area. It also gathers files that are scattered throughout the disk and collects and reorganises them so that they become contiguous. This enables any large downloads or file transfers to be saved into one location, preventing fragmentation.

There is plenty of software that is available to increase performance and faster connections such as broadband to increase production. However, fragmentation can affect all these from carrying out their intended purposes and without defrag software a business can end up with stalled and limited production.

Businesses World Wide Rely on Diskeeper Software to Provide System Performance and Reliability

Diskeeper Corporation Europe is proud to announce the release of a new case study outlining Plantronics’ (UK branch) reasons and motivations for choosing Diskeeper® software to provide system performance and reliability.

Plantronics headsets are widely used in many Fortune 500 corporations and have been featured in numerous films and high profile events, including the historic "One small step for man" transmission from the moon in 1969.
The UK branch of Plantronics based in Wiltshire chose Diskeeper software as a tool to decrease the amount of support calls for programme and disc crashes, therefore relieving the remote support site’s load and allowing the process to run more effectively and increase production.

Philip Jones, Server and Network Administrator at Plantronics UK comments: “Diskeeper has really improved conditions at the site in terms of productivity. Since installing Diskeeper there are a lot less support calls for programme and disk crashes. This has inevitably made a lot of people’s jobs easier and has also led to a decreased workload.”

Using Diskeeper has also provided added bonuses, Philip Jones continues: “The financial benefit to the company has been massive as well. Since installing Diskeeper it has increased the company’s lifetime of desktops by 3-5 years and the company’s laptops by 2-3 years. Therefore, this year we do not have to replace a single machine, saving us at least 100k on our hardware budget."
