New Whitepaper Demonstrates Diskeeper Defrag Improves Server Back-Ups by 20%

Diskeeper Corporation, innovators in performance and reliability technologies®, today announced a newly released Windows IT Pro whitepaper that shows Diskeeper® 2009 immediately improved back-up times on servers. The whitepaper, “The Impact of Disk Fragmentation on Servers," by David Chernicoff, tests the effects of fragmentation on common server tasks such as back-ups, and discovered, “Our tests showed one simple fact, defragmented disks back up faster."

Tests conducted on Windows Server 2008, showed individual back-up runs experienced up to a 20% performance improvement with Diskeeper 2009 installed. The paper goes on to detail how reduced fragmentation will lower resource consumption necessary for the back-up process, further minimizing the impact of the back-up on active users.

IT professionals responsible for server hardware understand the value that a professional grade disk defragmenter can bring to their servers. Fragmentation can wreak havoc on even the most powerful servers, often becoming so severe that back-ups cannot be completed within 24hrs, and thus data becomes vulnerable and can potentially be lost. Fragmentation negatively impacts back-up speeds, efficiency and overall server performance and ultimately ROI.

“Optimal disk performance translates into better ROI," said Mr. Chernicoff. “Throwing more storage resources (hardware) at the problem should be a last resort, because it only masks the potential problems that intelligent disk defragmentation addresses."

Diskeeper 2009 is truly in a class of its own, as it is the only defragmenter to operate in real-time, completely invisibly in the background with the advent of the proprietary InvisiTasking® technology. InvisiTasking monitors system resource use and ensures only idle, untapped resource are used to solve fragmentation so servers can be defragmented quickly, even during the heaviest traffic times, without being slowed down by resource conflicts.

“Diskeeper is the only true server defragmentation software that runs silently in the background, continually improving performance," said Mr. Chernicoff.

The server class Diskeeper 2009 editions include Diskeeper Server, Diskeeper EnterpriseServer and Diskeeper Administrator. Download free trialware at www.DiskeeperEurope.com. For volume licensing discounts, call +44 1342 327 477 or your favorite reseller.
