“We don't have to use Undelete very often, but when I have it has been amazing. I was able to recover a whole folder that was deleted by mistake in seconds. It is working just the way I hoped it would.”
“Diskeeper has been a trusted solution in our arsenal for the past ten years. We have deployed Diskeeper on mission critical servers in banks, dental offices, and construction companies. Some of these servers support 250 users and we have had no issues related to the software. We first sought out Diskeeper as a solution for highly-fragmented server drives where the Windows built-in defrag software was useless. Performance skyrocketed on the networks when we deployed Diskeeper and we found that hardware issues decreased. Diskeeper is the industry standard and the only defrag software we use with our corporate clients."
"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."
“We use the Undelete on all of our file servers; it’s great for Windows and virtual systems. Undelete saves us countless hours on having to restore from tape. We are very happy as we use it almost weekly. The ability to save more than one version of a Word doc, or to prevent digging through backup logs for the right version of a file, definitely pays for itself.”
"Our doctors and clinicians were losing too much time on basic tasks like waiting on medical images to load, or scanning images, or even just navigating from screen to screen within the application. The easy answer is to buy new server and storage hardware; however, that’s also a very expensive answer. When you’re a small hospital, you need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your existing infrastructure. Since we don’t have the budget luxury of doing hardware refreshes every three years, we need to get at least five years or more from our storage backend."
“V-locity works great. It is easy to install and then it just runs. It keeps my Hyper-V virtual machines from fragmenting and I never have to worry about it. It is true “Set it and Forget it” software."
“The Diskeeper upgrades went very smoothly. We have the Administrator so rolling out the upgrades is easy from the Diskeeper standpoint. We haven’t had any issues at all with these deployments on more than 300 servers we upgraded. IntelliWrite technology and Instant Defrag do an excellent job of keeping fragmentation from accumulating. Anecdotally, I’ve noticed fewer servers showing up in the Dashboard with moderate or critical fragmentation. And even when they do show up, the fragmentation is milder than previously. The Instant Defrag makes a noticeable difference."
"Our people are no longer a day behind. With V-locity, our ERP system runs so much faster, we process and ship all of our orders on the same day."
“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.”
"With V-locity, we have delayed investment in additional hardware. We've virtualized servers that used to run on dedicated storage, and now we're using our resources much more efficiently."
“V-locity is like nitro for your storage. My web applications are faster, my databases respond quicker, backups transfer faster. With V-locity optimizing our environment, the amount of workload we were able to process in the same amount of time jumped 89%.”
"I use the Automatic defrag so use of Diskeeper is very easy. We are seeing very good results and the files are more efficiently organized on the disks than before. We use Diskeeper in a data warehouse environment. It means that every night we delete a lot of datasets and we re-created a lot of new datasets. The disks were always very fragmented. With the Windows defrag tool it was not possible to defragment the disks in a fast way. The programs that use this data warehouse require fast disk access. That's why a well-organized disk is important for us. With Diskeeper we can reorganize the disk quickly and keep it well organized.”
"This product reduces the need to purchase additional SAN disk space and even avoid an upgrade to a more expensive SAN. Plus it’s easy to give V-locity a try to see if hardware upgrades are even necessary."
“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.”
“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."
