"With V-locity we've seen a 157% decrease in I/O to the SAN, but for us it's really about performance. Users are happy, files are processing properly, and work is getting done in a quarter of the time."
“Automatic defrag is why we purchased Diskeeper. We have an HP MSA1000 2TB SAN and two DELL EqualLogic SANs. When we used the SAN’s for data storage on a file server, we had customers complaining all the time about performance. Once we installed Diskeeper on the SAN’s and cleaned up the fragments, all the complaints went away."
“Story to tell? Oh yes. Our entire commissions database was saved by the Undelete program. Very happy about that. We would have lost a week of commissions (over 2000 records easily). We were very grateful that we had your product.”
“Diskeeper indeed provided the ROI we expected. We are very satisfied. It always proved to be a valuable product for transparent defrag and overall performance. Prior to installing Diskeeper our systems were almost unresponsive. The deployment was easy; it is a fine product that we rely upon. The Automatic defrag does not take any visible resources, which is really appreciated. The automatic defrag also helps overall performance greatly on files system access. One of the folders has millions of files in it with no subfolders and it was almost inaccessible before the Diskeeper implementation due to the fragmentation level being very high.”
"We are a large school with nearly one terabyte of data accessed daily, and one-third of that is revised or newly-created. As a network admin, access times and increased throughput are critical to my day-to-day. When my users say, ‘the network seems to be working better,’ I know V-locity is really doing the job.”
“We use Diskeeper on Windows 2003/2008 Servers and on all of our Windows 7 Workstations. Diskeeper works quite well keeping the hard drives defragged and running smoothly. Using Diskeeper on our servers helps us keep our relatively simple network even easier to manage. The biggest benefit is using the Administrative Console, pushing out installs and connecting to workstations to schedule maintenance times. Diskeeper helps with ensuring the hard drives installed on our computers run optimally."
"With V-locity, our SQL batch imports can run during the night so data is ready for production in the morning. Before V-locity, batch jobs would take so long, we would lose a full day of production and sometimes two."
“I love the Diskeeper Server product and the fact that you support the 64bit Itanium Operating System is a huge benefit to us. These systems are very critical and the fragmentation prior to using Diskeeper was really hurting performance. The drives were at about 90% fragmentation and with Automatic defrag enabled they stay around 3-5%. That feature alone makes the product worthwhile.”
“Diskeeper helps with storage performance which means I/O throughput (read\write\seek speeds) which translates to faster application response times. We run a nightly batch of jobs for our applications and the jobs complete between 5 and 20 minutes faster than if Diskeeper is not in use on that server.”
“We keep all servers on a 5-year evergreen cycle and found Diskeeper was able to help us attain that goal by keeping our servers from becoming fragmented and bogging down, overall giving us a much healthier server for a longer period of time and with better ROI. We are running Windows 2008 servers, three SQL 2005 servers and have a blade server connected by fiber to a SAN. We also run SharePoint 2007 with Diskeeper.”
“We use Diskeeper EnterpriseServer specifically for the Instant Defrag on Windows servers that have files added and deleted throughout the day. We had performance issues on these servers, because of the fragmentation problems. Those issues have now gone away. We had an application that was slowing down over time. The event viewer was complaining about severe fragmentation on the drive. We took an outage and ran standalone Diskeeper on the drive. The performance was immediately improved. The product works as expected and keeps the drives defragged throughout the day."
“I had two servers that were highly fragmented. One is a file server that has the users My Documents redirected to it and the other is a mail server. I tried the Windows built-in defrag on both servers and had numerous problems. The built-in would literally take days to run and would still not defrag the drives properly. I purchased Diskeeper with Instant Defrag and the results have been great. I can now run a manual defrag on the servers and it is finished within 30 minutes or less. The IntelliWrite and Automatic defrag also help. I will be purchasing more copies for some other servers soon.”
“We have been using Diskeeper for a long time and it does increase performance. We use Diskeeper on our backend database servers which have EMC SANs. Our main production system is EMC CX series. Our Disaster Recovery site is also running EMC CX series. Our production system has three enclosures with 15 drives each and Diskeeper Server does a fine job of keeping the system defragmented. The data structure and performance views are almost always completely blue every time I look at them.”
“Instant Defrag puts Diskeeper far ahead of any other defrag software. This is my favorite feature. I've seen a huge decrease in my backup times because of the new server version."
“The biggest benefit from Diskeeper is from reduced downtime from HDD failures which in turn saves me money in capital expenditures as I can squeeze more life out of my hardware. By continuously keeping the drives defragged, they don’t have to work as hard when files are accessed, and therefore don’t have to absorb the same level of wear and tear which equates to longer life with fewer replacements etc. Typically when machines leave warranty, the HDD is one of the first components to die, but with Diskeeper, the HDDs stay healthy and operational much, much longer. I can extend my hardware refresh cycle from 3 years to 4 or 4 ½ years and refocus my capital dollars on more strategic initiatives.”
