Diskeeper 8.0

Why Buy Diskeeper if Windows 2000 and Windows XP Already Includes A Built-in, Manual Defragmenter?

Executive Software is uniquely qualified to evaluate "Disk Defragmenter" (the built-in defragmenter in Windows 2000 and Windows XP) against Diskeeper. We wrote "Disk Defragmenter" under Microsoft's supervision and we know its strengths and weaknesses. Disk Defragmenter is a bare bones defragmenter similar in purpose to the defragmenters in Windows 95, 98 and Me. It is not designed for more than light home use and should not be considered for use on networked systems. The reasons for this are well documented by Microsoft, NSTL and IDC and they are compelling. Follow these links below:

• NSTL tests Diskeeper against "Disk Defragmenter": Diskeeper is 300-500% faster and much more thorough.
• Microsoft speaks: What "Disk Defragmenter" is and isn't. KB article ID: Q231176 and KB article ID: Q227463
• Microsoft on defragmentation: Maintaining Windows 2000 Peak Performance Through Defragmentation. (Especially note in the section headed, "Key Elements in the Disk Defragmentation Process", why it is important to keep the Master File Table and the Paging File defragmented and how Microsoft recommends this to be done.)

NSTL Performance Tests. These landmark tests were conducted over a period of three years. How much does defragmentation really affect system performance?

• Defragmentation Performance Testing - Diskeeper vs. the Windows 2000 Disk Defragmenter - March, 2001.
• Defragmentation Performance Testing - four computer systems running Microsoft Windows 2000 RC2 build 2128 - November, 1999.
• Defragmentation Performance Testing - Four computer systems running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 - June, 1999.

Check out Diskeeper in action Before -> 25% -> 50% -> 75% -> After all that on a mission critical system.

The Diskeeper difference:

• Tested in independent labs to increase system performance up to 200% or more.
• The fastest defrag engine ever built. National Software Testing Lab (NSTL) proven 300-500% faster and far more thorough than "built-in" defragmenters.
• Exclusive "Set It and Forget It" functionality runs invisibly in the background.
• Exclusive "Smart Scheduling". Constantly monitors your disk performance and customizes defrag runs to keep it at peak performance levels even during heavy production hours.
• Exclusive "Frag Guard" ® helps prevent fragmentation in your most critical NT/2000/XP system files.
• Lightning-fast Microsoft recommended boot-time defragmentation of critical system files. Fully schedulable.
• PushInstaller™. Eliminate the high cost of deployment. Diskeeper Server version allows remote installation of Diskeeper workstations through the network, remotely, in just a few clicks (when license purchased for each machine)
• Running a network? Diskeeper is completely scaleable and allows you to control fragmentation remotely across any size network.
• Certified by Microsoft for Windows XP Professional and Home versions.

System Requirements for server: Diskeeper 8.0 Server version runs on any x86-type (including Pentium) computer that is running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. Diskeeper Server will not install on Windows 95/98/Me computers. Diskeeper Server 8.0 controls over-the-network defragmentation of systems running Diskeeper Workstation version 3.0 or higher.

Important: Diskeeper Server version is required to schedule or control across-the-network defragmentation of systems running Diskeeper Workstation version 3.0 or higher. Diskeeper Server will install and run on workstations running Windows NT/2000/XP, but Windows 95/98/Me computers will only accept Diskeeper Workstation version. Diskeeper Workstation version will not install on Windows NT/2000/XP servers.

System Requirements for workstation: Diskeeper 8.0 Workstation version runs on any x86-type (including Pentium) computer that is running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Windows 95 (OSR 2 or higher), Windows 98, or Windows Me.
