Companies need their infrastructures to last for a long
time. Continually replacing computer network systems that seem to be
working incorrectly is very expensive. Additionally replacement parts
are likely to experience the same problem in the future. To get the most
value out of their investment companies need to find the source of the
problem and address it from the beginning. This will keep them from
spending unnecessarily and inconveniencing employees while repairs are
made.
Generally employees of a company who do not work in the IT department
rarely think about the computer network system that they rely on every
day of the week. It is something that exists in the background of their
lives until it begins to give them problems. When a computer network
system begins to slow down or crashes it can derail and entire project
and cost time and money to repair.
The computer network system is responsible for handling the majority of
tasks performed in an office. Communication through email and messaging
services, storing valuable documents, sharing hardware and software,
communicating with clients, and accessing the internet are all tasks
performed by the computer network system. If the system begins to slow
down and takes longer to perform these tasks there can be serious
consequences that affect the quality of work that gets done.
Computer networks slow down for a variety of reasons, while age can be a
factor the most common reason is fragmentation. Fragmentation happens
when a file is not saved to the hard disk as a single piece of
information. The file is split into many bits of information that are
stored around the disk. When a user opens the file the computer has to
find and reassemble the various pieces. As a file becomes more and more
fragmented due to continual modification it takes the computer longer to
locate and assemble the information into once piece. If the problem is
not addressed the computer will continue to run slower and can even
crash completely.
Replacing the entire computer network system will get rid of the
fragmentation, but the new system will soon begin to suffer the same
problem. To eliminate fragmentation at the root level a company needs to
install data performance software on the system. Data performance
software like Diskeeper 2011 from
Diskeeper Corporation actively works
to repair files that have become fragmented. By reassembling the
information the entire system will run faster and be more reliable.
Diskeeper 2011 will also reorganize the information on the hard disk in a
way that is easier for the computer to read. This decreases the time it
takes to find a file and adds additional speed to the entire system.
Installing
data performance software also adds an additional level of
protection to the computer network system. Protecting the system from
fragmentation means that the system is also protected from crashing
because it cannot reassemble the correct information. If installed on a
system early enough Diskeeper 2011 will prevent fragmentation from ever
happening in the first place.
To get the most use out of a computer network system a company has to
make sure that it is protected from the most common threats.
Fragmentation is not a problem that will go away by updating the
hardware and replacing components. To solve fragmentation at the outset a
company needs to use data performance software.
