The only way to prevent fragmentation before it happens.™ Input and Output activity (I/O) on hard disks is still the major bottleneck in today’s modern computer systems. Disk I/O speeds (ranging from 100-200 operations per second) have simply not kept pace when compared with the processing speeds of today’s CPUs, which can complete up to 76 billion instructions/sec and access RAM at 60 nanosecond cycle times, equating to over 16 million operations per second. For this reason the disk should be one of the first parts of a computer system to be considered when improving computer performance. Additionally, file fragmentation causes each file to be broken up into hundreds or thousands of pieces and scattered to various locations on the hard drive, with a further negative impact on performance. Introducing IntelliWrite™ Fragmentation prevention technology Now, through a major R & D breakthrough, Diskeeper® 2010 performance software addresses the cause of fragmentation and prevents up to 85% and more of the fragmentation that has long plagued every hard disk. IntelliWrite elevates system performance and efficiency to a whole new level. It keeps disks clean and fast by intelligently writing contiguous files to the disk, eliminating up to 85% of fragmented file writing! The benefits of IntelliWrite and the fast efficient disk it enables go far beyond what defragmentation alone can achieve. As fragmentation increases, so does proportionally the I/O activity on the disks, which in turn affects ALL applications requiring frequent access to the disks. Consider that the seek and read time for files (or fragments) is on the order of a few milliseconds, when a file is broken into thousands of pieces (less than the average fragmentation) no matter how small it is, it will take a lot longer to open and read the file. It is therefore imperative to keep all data files stored in a contiguous and defragmented state on the hard drive, to maintain a stable system and performing at peak efficiency. Every Windows system suffers from the effects of fragmentation. When fragmentation occurs, the system has already wasted precious I/O resources by writing fragmented files to cluttered spaces on the disk. You can defragment, but it’s a better strategy to prevent the problem from ever happening in the first place and so always work with a clean, fast disk. Now, you can with performance software Diskeeper 2010. Imagine a system that doesn’t fragment data on the hard disk, needing no I/Os to handle defragmentation delivering unprecedented speed and efficiency. Disks uncluttered by fragmentation can last years longer due to reduced drive wear, resulting in lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Main benefits of Diskeeper 2010 • A new level of peak system performance. • Faster file read and writes. • Zero impact on system resources while preventing fragmentation. • Minimised/eliminated data replication traffic and storage requirements caused by technologies which monitor block level changes (such as Snapshots). • Files written contiguously for greatly reduced drive wear. • Significantly reduced energy consumption and cooling requirements – even more than achieved with defragmentation. Diskeeper Additional Features Diskeeper 2010 retains its powerful defragmentation engines • Support for MOM/SCOM (Microsoft Operations Manager/ to quickly eliminate fragmentation which may already exist on System Center Operations Manager). Monitor and manage some computers and the small percentage of fragmentation alerts, create reports and control product settings and which is not prevented. configurations of networked computers with the Diskeeper Management Pack. • InvisiTasking® technology is the only transparent, background processing technology that allows Diskeeper • Boot-Time Mode. Safely performs Microsoft-recommended 2010 to run defrag operations in real-time, with zero defragmentation of critical system files. resource conflicts. • The perfect complement for Windows 7 deployment! • The power to handle large volumes – fast. Quickly clean up pre-accumulated fragmentation or the few fragments that squeak by with Diskeeper 2010’s exclusive solutions for Business Benefits of using Diskeeper systems with hundreds of thousands of files (Terabyte Volume EngineTM technology) or millions of files (Titan Defrag EngineTM technology). • I-FAAST®, Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology speeds file access beyond even what a clean disk will provide. It closely monitors file usage and organises the most commonly accessed files for the fastest possible access.
