Diskeeper® Server Overview For Windows® physical servers with local or direct-attached storage (DAS), Diskeeper® 12 Server is an ideal entry-level performance solution. Diskeeper Server proactively prevents performance-robbing fragmentation from occurring to keep servers running like new. Diskeeper® Server’s patented, proactive IntelliWrite® technology prevents split I/Os from being created at the time files are written—reducing the amount of I/O pushed through the server and storage, and resulting in increased productivity and lower costs by extending the useful life of existing hardware. Where typical defragmentation utilities consume resources to operate and deal with fragmentation only after the performance penalty has already been incurred, Diskeeper is the only proactive solution that solves the problem in real-time while running transparently in the background. Without Diskeeper, files are scattered around a volume instead of written in one place. Diskeeper’s IntelliWrite optimizes writes and subsequent reads by writing data sequentially, reducing seek time and the number of I/Os required to write a file or access it. Diskeeper Keeps Windows Servers Running Like New Diskeeper’s intelligent resource monitoring, InvisiTasking®, ensures all optimization occurs without hampering system resources, so servers can operate at full production while Diskeeper runs in the background. InvisiTasking monitors resource consumption on a Windows system (disk, memory, network and CPU usage) and uses only resources that are otherwise idle, so Diskeeper runs invisibly with no intrusion on system resources. InvisiTasking monitors volumes for files that are impacting performance and deploys the Instant Defrag® engine to consolidate the few remaining fragments that were not eliminated by IntelliWrite. With Diskeeper Server, optimization is proactive, continuous and seamless. For IT professionals who need to deploy Diskeeper across multiple servers, the Diskeeper Administration console allows for seamless network deployment. For Windows servers, Diskeeper is the only highly efficient and proactive software for maximum performance—making it the #1 solution for keeping Windows servers running like new. Problem: When files are created, deleted, or modified, they can be broken up and scattered around a volume instead of written in one place. This requires more I/O than necessary for every write and subsequent read, resulting in the loss of performance bandwidth. Solution: With IntelliWrite, Diskeeper Server prevents fragmentation at the Windows level, allowing the system to write or read in an optimized manner—with one contiguous access—improving storage performance. Problem: A solution should never create a new problem, which is often the case when an optimization utility consumes resources while it runs, degrading system performance. Servers and applications run slower during scheduled maintenance tasks, which impacts business use and backups during off-hours. Solution: With InvisiTasking technology, Diskeeper Server runs in the background, creating zero system overhead for applications that must run frequently or continuously.
