BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/08 -- Diskeeper Corporation released today a new casestudy revealing how one savvy IT director was able to stop the performancebottleneck slowing his network and found hidden gains in speed andreliability with one seemingly simple solution, automatic defragmentation.The report goes further in-depth on the problem of fragmentation(1), whichplagues every computer from basic workstations to modern virtual servers.David Alfonso, the director of technology for Trinity School in New YorkCity, details the problems with scheduled defragmentation and how he wasable to solve them. "We were doing defragmentation on a scheduled basis onthe weekend, but it just wasn't keeping up. It wouldn't finish." He knew heneeded a new solution to handle fragmentation effectively, so he turned toDiskeeper®.
The sophisticated background processing technology in Diskeeper, calledInvisiTasking, takes care of fragmentation in real time, using only idlesystem resources. This allows for consistent performance and reliabilitywithout the typical hassle and downtime of a manual or scheduled defrag.
"We've seen a two-fold increase in speed with Diskeeper," Alfonsocontinues. "With the old software if you tried to run a backup and do adefrag at the same time you had a problem. Now Diskeeper continues workingbehind the scenes without interrupting your daily work schedule."
Although IT staff have known that defragmentation is essential to improvetheir network environment, now automatic defragmentation is necessary tokeep systems running at peak performance at all times.

Notes:
(1) Fragmentation: a condition caused by users writing, deleting andresizing their computer files on the hard drive. This causes the files tobe become scattered or "fragmented" into many pieces. The more fragmentedthese pieces of information are, the longer it takes the computer to readthem. Fragmentation is a major cause of performance degradation oncomputers.
