“The difference is night and day for both servers and workstations after deploying Diskeeper. Boot time has sped up and users notice the performance difference. Digital dictation and voice-to-text translation software no longer slow down their workstations due to massive amounts of files. We have Diskeeper installed on our servers and PC’s as well as laptops. It has improved the performance of this equipment noticeably. The IT department noticed how Diskeeper sped up the servers and desktops when working on them. Power users have noticed the difference, reporting speed of document retrieval is 15% faster. For paralegals and assistants, this is always welcome."
"Since installing Diskeeper I definitely hear fewer complaints from the users which is always a good thing! The client machines are smooth running; the server is definitely smoother sailing. We have saved money. In addition, I can monitor all the disks from the Administrator and get real-time data as to how they are and have been running. This allows me to see trends on specific workstations and head off any potential problems. This has been great for me as that means less down time for my users. And since installing Diskeeper I’ve actually had zero down time, which has been a blessing! I make sure to run reports once a month, which I used to do weekly, but there is so little for me to do now I can stretch it out.”
“We are running Diskeeper EnterpriseServer on our Domino Lotus Notes application and also on the mail servers. We are running these across several RAID 5 arrays encompassing over 2.75 TB of user data. It used to take us 25 hours to perform our weekly backup of the Domino Servers. By using Diskeeper, we were able to reduce our backup time down to 9 hours. By enabling the Automatic defrag feature, we increased the performance of the drive array on live production systems with no user impact other than an increase in performance.”
“Love the Diskeeper product. It is easy, quiet and runs on its’ own! We run mostly Windows 2008 servers and Diskeeper is working quite well, in the back ground and silently doing its job.”
"We’re running SQL Server and extensive backup catalogues. After installing V-locity on our physical servers, we saw over 100% increase in performance throughput.”
"After V-locity was deployed, SharePoint backup times were cut in more than half. Backups that took four to five hours now take just two hours. I now have my Friday evenings back."
“Mainly we got licenses for large or multi-terabyte servers, because the built-in defrag doesn’t handle that size well. I always suggest Diskeeper for servers with large terabyte server storage. We are running 40 licenses department wide. We run mostly Windows 2003 32 bit, with 10% on 64 bit, some clustered."
“In our ongoing effort we try to keep the processors from over working which would cause the temperature to go up. Faster virus scans due to a more efficient system help with this. It’s a small thing but can help with other efforts. We run HP servers, DL585’s and 385’s, and we have Diskeeper running on our virtual machines as well."
"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."
“Here are some metrics numbers on our environment as reported by the Diskeeper job report. It’s pretty impressive. We run over 900 Windows servers here at UK Healthcare. Around 600 are physical, and 300 are virtual. We run Diskeeper on almost all of these. We use various SAN backbones and an IBM SVC SAN controller. Diskeeper has also been used on SAN connected drives as well. We run dozens of different applications, mostly of a healthcare nature. Our primary clinical application is Allscript’s Sunrise Clinical Manager. We publish that through Citrix and it is run entirely on Windows OS’s, which are all running Diskeeper."
"Compiling a list of 16 patients took 13 seconds. With V-locity it now takes only five seconds to load 19. That's a major improvement when you’re talking about a busy day in the ER."
“I think Diskeeper is great. Our biggest reason for poor performance was machines that were fragmented. Now it does not matter if the users know how to defrag or not, because Diskeeper runs in the background automatically and they don’t even know.”
"Our network serves 80 employees with external and internal access to resources, so not too heavy of a load. My primary concern is for the virtualized Exchange server, and V-locity works really well."
“Diskeeper works fine for me. I like the proactive IntelliWrite feature that prevents fragmentation. In our environment as in most others I know, the users and management) are oblivious to fragmentation and the causes of their slow PC’s. I have been around since the days of SpinRite and 10MB hard drives and see every day reasons to defrag with Diskeeper. We use Domino Lotus Notes with Diskeeper running on all of the workstations. We are running several Oracle databases and Siebel servers. We use RAID, SAN, and EMC drives limited to Windows servers. InvisiTasking automated the defrag task most, with a few servers and most workstations set on a schedule.”
"Diskeeper performance software works so well we just take it for granted, we haven’t been faced with the challenges that probably prompt companies to look into disk defragmentation utilities to solve their problems."
