"We knew we had an I/O problem and had reached the IOPS limitation of our backend storage architecture under peak load. However, what we did not consider is how much of our storage performance was being dampened by small, fractured, random I/O characteristics due to Windows write inefficiencies that generate excessively small writes and reads. That was ultimately the root cause problem why our users were timing out from Exchange."

“Diskeeper is necessary to ensure that defragmentation is not an issue. It’s an easy way to have one less thing to worry about. We are running Diskeeper on servers with RAID, a few NAS servers, and also on the box with our antivirus running. It works quickly with no problems."

“Diskeeper has improved the performance quite a bit on the SQL servers. One runs a Content Management package that serves up our Customer Utility Billing statements and allows customers to access their bills online. We were having performance problems because there are about 500 GB of documents that it manages and indexes. New files are added and old files are deleted from it each day. The disk was highly fragmented. Installing and running Diskeeper easily improved the overall performance by 25%. Another server runs our ESRI GIS database (large maps with data attached to spatial points in a Geodatabase). The database on this server is constantly growing and changing. We've frequently run the SQL based file indexing function to improve performance. We saw the drives on it also were highly fragmented. Installing and running Diskeeper improved the performance by 10% - enough to be noticeable when pulling up a map."
