Although disk defragmentation software has seen numerous changes since
Windows first introduced it in 1982. Yet
despite the changes, the Windows defragmentation tool still lacks the
capability to fully optimize system efficiency.
As a result, corporate IT has come to rely on third party defragmenters
to improve productivity.
Diskeeper 2011 is a first-tier
Windows defragmentation tool. Unlike the
Windows defragmentation tool, Diskeeper goes beyond the Window’s defragmentation
tool and actually works to prevent up to 85%
of fragmentation. The software
also features specialized background operations enabling the system to continue
to perform at peak disc performance while having little or no impact on
foreground system processes.
Diskeeper Corporation ran tests to compare it’s Diskeeper 2011’s and
Windows 7 defragmentation utility. With a strong focus on the defragmentation
and the prevention of fragmentation, the tests concluded that Diskeeper 2011
showed greater benefits in performance than the Windows 7 defragmentation.
The tests also showed that Diskeeper
2011 allowed for more benefits beyond peak performance. Diskeeper also showed to improve the system’s
reliability through the minimization of disk activity. This minimal effect on the system also increased
the MTTF affecting spinning media while reducing the potential for file,
system, and data corruption.
Regularly scheduled defragmentation is highly recommended due to its
various benefits to system performance, productivity and efficiency. While the Windows 7 defragmentation utility
is effective to a degree, it requires a minimum of 1 scheduled defragmentation
per week and must be scheduled while no other tasks are running while the
utility tries to play “catch-up” with fragmentation occurring during the
previous week.
Since Diskeeper 2011 is able to perform its functions while remaining
virtually invisible, Diskeeper enables businesses to continue throughout their
work day as the system is undergoing defragmentation.
