An essential part of operating a successful business is
being able to get things done quickly. For many companies, this means
that it is important that the computer network system that they rely on
for everyday tasks are kept up to date and protected from problems that
may cause it to slow down.
The computer network system handles many of the most important tasks
that employees rely on to do the majority of their work. The system
allows employees to communicate with one another through emails and
instant messaging services, share software and hardware amongst the
company, store valuable documents, and even access the internet. When
these processes start to slow down companies can begin to lag behind in
their work and employee morale can suffer serious damage.
The most common cause of computer network system slow-downs is
fragmentation. Fragmentation happens when a file is not stored as a
single piece of information on the hard disk but is broken up into
several different bits of information that are stored in various places
around the disk. This makes it more difficult for the computer to access
these files when a user needs them. As files are continually modified
fragmentation becomes worse. Eventually the files may not open at all
because the computer cannot reassemble the information.
Fragmentation can slow down some of the applications that employees
depend on for even the most basic tasks. Files in Microsoft Word and
Outlook will take longer to open and sometimes they cannot be found in a
search. Even Internet Explorer can become affected and slow internet
speeds to a crawl.
Fragmented files will also affect the ability of virus and malware
protection scanners to do their jobs. Virus scans may not be done
completely, if at all, because the information is so spread widely
distributed. Malware scans can take up to 35% longer to complete and
again, may never be able to fully run the scan.
To solve these problems and prevent fragmentation from slowing down a
computer network system a company only needs to install
data performance
software. Data performance software, like Diskeeper 2011 from
Diskeeper
Corporation, is software that is specifically designed to rebuild
fragmented files. The files will be reassembled and stored in a way that
makes them more accessible to the computer. This will result in greater
speeds for the computer network system and increased computing
efficiency.
Data performance software provides companies with an extra layer of
security for their sensitive files. Facilitating virus and malware scans
ensures that the scans run completely and detect anything that could be
wrong with the system, at the same time eliminating fragmentation
removes the threat of a full computer system crash caused by fragmented
files.
Any company that values speed as an essential component to their
business must be sure that their computer network is protected from
fragmentation. The damage caused by fragmentation can derail work and
cost a company valuable time and money. Installing Diskeeper 2011 is the
surest way to eliminate the threat of fragmentation and protect the
system in the future.
