Don’t Rely on Built-In Defrag to Protect Company Information, Only Data Performance Software can Keep Computer Network System Safe

At the heart of every company’s success is information and that involves the ability to access information as well as deliver that information. In order for that to occur there is a tremendous amount of dependence placed on a company’s computer network system. Provided the health of that computer network system has been maintained this dependence shouldn’t illicit fear or concern but if a company has overlooked or simply ignored their network system’s basic needs then there could be problems.

Part of overlooking the needs of a computer network system is settling for “solutions” that are not capable of actually providing the necessary protection that a network requires. One of the most obvious examples of this mistake is a company’s reliance on built-in defrag, a tool they believe will keep their network operating at a high level while safeguarding their information. The truth is built-in defrag is just not capable of matching the demands of a computer network system.

While built-in defrag is designed to neutralize the computer disease known as fragmentation, a condition in which pieces of individual files and free space on a disk are not contiguous but rather broken up and scattered around the disk, the aggressive nature of fragmentation is too much for the “solution” and the network system, along with all the information that is stored upon it, remains threatened.

It is hard to imagine why a company would trust a built-in defrag to protect their computer network system when they know that their network is essentially responsible for maintaining as well as expanding their business. Looking at what a computer network system makes possible should shed some light on its significance, it is responsible for allowing employees to share files, software, and hardware, creating a faster Internet browsing experience, facilitating communication between employees and customers/clients as well as between employees through internal messaging platforms, storing company data, and providing a safe and secure environment for information.

Because computer network systems perform countless functions throughout any given day the level of fragmentation that occurs is incredible. For a built-in defrag this burden is just too heavy and the network remains at risk. It may start as a simple slowdown in boot time but before long every function that a computer network system is responsible for will feel the effects of fragmentation. Eventually fragmentation will cause so many problems related to retrieving and sharing information that the system will simply collapse, a crash that could actually wipe out all the information that had been stored on the network.

This is the reality of a built-in defrag, while they may prove to be somewhat useful for an individual computer that doesn’t get much use when it comes to a computer network system responsible for just about every function of day-to-day operations they are of little use.

What every company should do is take a moment to install the best data performance software available, software that is specifically designed to meet the demands of a computer network system, eliminate the damage caused by fragmentation, and prevent fragmentation from returning. As it is Diskeeper Corporation has designed the only data performance software capable of performing all three of these functions with their most recent unveiling of Diskeeper 2011.

While Diskeeper 2011 provides a quick and effective solution to fragmentation its benefits stretch far beyond just a clean drive. The data performance software instantly improves the efficiency and productivity within a company, restores a network’s health and as a result extends its life; create a safer environment for company information, and several other perks. Installing data performance software should be the first thing any company does when addressing the health of their network system and Diskeeper 2011 should be the only software that is being used.
