189 Condusiv Technologies Testimonials

“File fragmentation had a significant impact on the backup performance of all servers previously identified. Defragging drives on Server1 (both target and source drives) with Diskeeper helped boost throughput by 67%, the average throughput increased from 7MB/s to 11.7MB/s for 5 concurrent drive backups. The longest runtime for any backup job in that group was 10 hours. Defragging the target drives on Server2 increased throughput by 73%, the average throughput increased from 5.9MB/s to 10.2MB/s for 6 concurrent drive backups. The longest runtime for any backup job in that group was = 11.5hrs. Consequently, all tape protection operations ran properly and according to schedules with no data sets missed.”

“We have been running Diskeeper for years, and when we began the switch to virtualization using Hyper-V, V-locity was suggested to help improve performance of the VMs. V-locity has proven to be a valuable tool in our virtual environment. It is also a “Set It and Forget It” type of software. The IntelliWrite technology is a huge factor in the overall great disk performance we are seeing on our virtual platforms by preventing most fragmentation from ever occurring. Also, InvisiTasking helps ensure that the defrag process doesn't affect other VMs. We are very pleased with the steady performance state we are seeing from our VMs due to our implementation of V-locity.”

"Anytime an organization starts talking about VDI, the immediate concern in the IT shop is how well we will be able to support it from a performance standpoint to ensure a pristine end user experience. Although supported by EMC VNXe flash storage with high IOPS, one of our primary concerns had to do with Windows write inefficiencies that chews up a large percentage of flash IOPS unnecessarily. When you’re rolling out a VDI initiative, the one thing you can’t afford to waste is IOPS."

“Diskeeper is a much better defrag than the one that comes with Windows. Diskeeper is easy to deploy and maintain. It is an extremely good product! We run Exchange with a clustered environment and NetApp filer as data store, GIS data and applications. We are running SAP on Microsoft server clusters with a NetApp SAN backend. SQL 2005 is our database software.”

"Our common workloads are supported by our older Dell Compellent arrays, but all of our MS-SQL workloads are supported by newer Nimble storage arrays. As great as Nimble performs from a ‘cost per performance’ standpoint, it simply wasn’t enough with the growth of data and users we had been experiencing. Loan officers were complaining about slow queries taking five to ten minutes to run reports, and up to five seconds to advance from screen to screen within the loan origination system."

“Diskeeper is a vital tool. We use it for all of our production systems that cannot be downed for maintenance. We are running VMware Virtual Center with HA clustered ESX servers using NetApp NFS on the backend.”

“I am running V-locity on my virtual guests with a 32% improvement for the read write access and the server with a 29% better read/write access. Recently a field engineer came in to look at and ‘fix’ my Active Directory domain as according to those in the know, I had bad objects that prevented things from working properly. Ten minutes after the systems engineer placed a tool on a server he stated the system is in good shape and in fact, it’s now in better shape since he fixed a couple of things that were above my knowledge level. He said this system is one of the cleanest domains he has worked on. It’s running with Exchange Server 2010. This is a very good benefit!”

“We use Diskeeper extensively to keep our file systems from becoming fragmented and therefore optimize the disk read/write efficiency along with available storage. We primarily use Microsoft SQL database. We use EMC drives at a significant number of our customer sites in both SAN and NAS configurations. In addition we use HP Storageworks EVA SAN and NetApp SAN as well with Diskeeper with excellent results.”

“Our HelpDesk calls have been virtually eliminated with respect to performance issues. Any calls we do get relate to not enough memory. The most frustrating thing was going to a user desk to perform a task and then having to clean up the PC and defrag it, which would consume the afternoon. Now upgrades and fixes can be done remotely which saves a tremendous amount of time and allows you to focus on your core responsibilities. Diskeeper reports low disk space on our servers and computers so we can eliminate the chance of running out of space on a machine without us knowing. It is very easy to use and basically takes care of itself while keeping us aware of any potential problems."

"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."

“I love using Diskeeper on our Backup Exec Server; this is the real success story. It can have 10 jobs that write to 50 GB files all at the same time. This fragments the heck out of our 13 TB drive tower. The Windows defrag wouldn’t keep up or even finish. I was always reaching 99% fragmentation on this drive, causing my backups to go all the way from Friday to Wednesday of the following week. When I contacted the backup solution company about the severe fragmentation they suggested only running one job at a time. This was just unacceptable as the jobs would not complete in the allotted time window."

“Diskeeper has helped us in a real-world sense. I can point to concrete performance gains in our Citrix environment which resulted in happier users. Furthermore, prior to installing Diskeeper some of our lengthy batch process jobs would often fail at the end of the job with a ‘delayed write fail’ message. I have not seen that error message EVER again once I installed Diskeeper on the file server hosting that volume and that was over three years ago.”

"We migrated to Windows 7 on all our desktops and laptops last summer. Diskeeper is installed on all the desktops and laptops as well. We definitely value the ease and efficiency of Diskeeper and believe it makes a significant improvement in computer performance and reliability."

“I love V-locity! The documentation is the greatest. Tech support was very helpful when I had an install question, and got me up and running right away. I’m a happy customer. I was worried that Vlocity would have a detrimental impact on my vSphere Disaster Recovery module, but everything is in order. I’ve been monitoring it for a while now and it looks great."

“It's only logical that less disk thrashing due to less disk fragmentation would result in less energy used. Thinking of the large disk farms found in today's networks it makes sense that defragmented disks would result in less energy used in the data center.”
