If Your Computer Network System is Experiencing Problems, Make Sure it is Protected from Fragmentation by Data Performance Software

One of the most dangerous problems for a company's computer network system to encounter is fragmentation. Companies rely on computer network systems every day to complete even the most basic tasks, if fragmentation begins to occur the system can suffer serious problems that make it harder for the company to do their work. The computer network system is responsible for making sure that employees can communicate with one another through email and messaging systems, share software and hardware, store valuable company documents and access the internet. If it begins to show signs of fragmentation and these processes take longer, every employee is greatly affected.

Fragmentation happens when files that are stored to the hard disk are not stored as a single piece of information. The information is broken up into several smaller pieces that are spread around the hard disk. Because the file is not stored as a single contiguous piece it takes longer for the system to find the pieces and rebuild the file so that it can be used. As files continue to be modified fragmentation worsens and the system continues to show signs of distress.

There are some problems that are very obvious to the user. Opening files in Microsoft Word or Outlook can take longer and in some cases emails and files can't be recalled at all. For programs like these that are used constantly by businesses these slowdowns are unacceptable.

Fragmentation can also slow down internet speeds for the company. Web pages on a fragmented system take nearly four times as long to open than they would if fragmentation were not a problem. Virus and spyware scans are also affected by fragmentation. It is hard for a scanner to scan files when they are not stored in a single place and sometimes the fragmentation is so bad that these scans can increase in time by 35% or not be completed at all.

Some of the more subtle affects of fragmentation might be incorrectly attributed to aging hardware. Applications and operating systems can be slow to respond and boot-up and shut-down commands can be slow to react or completely unresponsive. These problems are not the hardware but the prevalence of fragmentation on the system.

To protect a computer network system against these problems a company needs to install data performance software. Data performance software is designed specifically to eliminate fragmentation on the hard disk leaving the system fast and responsive. Diskeeper 2011 is the newest data performance software from Diskeeper Corporation and it is the best way to make sure that a computer network system will operate the correct way.

Diskeeper 2011, once installed, will rebuild fragmented files so that the system will not have to work as hard to recall the information. The software will also prevent fragmentation from ever occurring again on the hardware. This leaves the system with an extra layer of security preventing a full system crash. Diskeeper 2011 will also reorganize the way that information is stored on the hard disk, making it easier for the system to find the information that it needs.

Installing data performance software to protect against fragmentation is a preventative action that all companies should take. It will eliminate the common issues create problems for companies working on deadlines and noticing a decrease in the quality of the work that they are producing. Diskeeper 2011 is the best way to make sure that every employee is given the tools they need to do their jobs quickly and correctly.
