Diskeeper Corporation yesterday announced the release of Diskeeper 2011 data performance software which includes new technology to give optimum system performance at all times. We will have a review of the new version shortly. But until then, here are some of the new features. Right they have 30 day trialware at www.diskeeper.com.
Features in Diskeeper 2011
Exclusive IntelliWrite technology. The O/S activity of writing files in pieces to the disk (fragmentation) can be prevented before it happens – up to 85% and more. Extremely valuable for thin provisioned storage and SAN as well as all other systems.
New Instant Defrag. Instant Defrag, new in Diskeeper 2011, works in conjunction with IntelliWrite to quickly eliminate any fragments not prevented during the initial write. For those fragments, IntelliWrite passes along information in real-time to the Instant Defrag engines for immediate handling.
New Efficient Mode. Efficient Mode, also new in Diskeeper 2011, uses the minimum disk Input/Output (I/O) to restore and maintain maximum performance. The Efficient Mode is smart enough to detect fragmentation that is a problem and targets it for priority handling. Efficient mode only addresses problem fragmentation and by eliminating the unnecessary extra effort to get to a state of 0 total fragments, peak performance is rapidly restored.
New Performance Report. The new performance report in Diskeeper 2011 overlays the main User Interface (UI) to provide the user with an instant view of gains they experience. Users will see:
- System Configuration Status
- Read and Write Access Time – % improvement
- How much fragmentation was prevented and eliminated
- Cumulative Number of I/Os Saved
Exclusive InvisiTasking technology has been redesigned in Diskeeper 2011 to be more assertive in I/O active environments while still maintaining invisible processing. The enhancements will allow Diskeeper to accomplish more defragmentation and resolve it faster (e.g. Instant Defrag), during typical production workloads.
HyperFast solid state drive optimizer: Included in the server editions and available as an add-on to Diskeeper Home, Professional and ProPremier editions. HyperFast solid state drive optimizer is proven optimizing technology for Solid State Drives (SSDs), providing faster performance and longer lifespan.
