Diskeeper Defragmenter Wins PC Mag Editor's Choice Award

Posted on: Monday, 17 May 2004, 06:00 CDT

Diskeeper(R) disk defragmenter was given the prestigious Editor's Choice award in the June 8th edition of PC Magazine. Diskeeper 8.0 handles crippling fragmentation, known to degrade a computer's performance and reliability over time. The automatic defragmenter is the market leader and well recognized as a solution for corporate and small business users.

Some system administrators expect users to handle their own defragmentation without giving them "privileges," thinking the task is being handled for them, only to find their systems are horribly fragmented. This can lead to other system maintenance troubles. Diskeeper's unique "Set It and Forget It(R)" functionality enables a system administrator or user to eradicate fragmentation in the background with an algorithm designed to defragment when you need it so you never have to worry about fragmentation again.

"Giving out privileges to users is not the solution," said Manny Salinas, Diskeeper Product Line Manager. "The only workable solution for defragmenting a corporate site is to use an automatic defragmenter like the new Diskeeper(R) 8.0, the most popular defragmentation utility for Windows."

Diskeeper is the first defragmenter to quantify the effects of fragmentation on performance of both Windows workstations and servers. Diskeeper enables system administrators to be proactive in maintaining system performance. Diskeeper even alerts system administrators when it encounters potential data corruption with an email detailing the exact machine and the problems found.

According to IDC, costs of handling fragmentation manually, like using the built-in rather than a network defragmenter, ranged from $25,000 for 10 systems to well over a million dollars a year for 5000 workstations and supporting servers. If a terabyte drive is fragmented, it takes a lot longer to back it up, scan for viruses and generally administer.

New Diskeeper 8.0 Editions are now available for sale and can be purchased through your favorite reseller. More information on Diskeeper is available at: http://www.executive.com/diskeeper/
