“Undelete has worked very well for us. We had been discovering that data was being deleted months prior before we realized it was gone. The backup tapes write over each week and also each quarter so we lost the data. Each morning I review and cross reference our backup with the Undelete data. If I find a large amount of data is added to Undelete, I do a query. A few times I found that information files were inappropriately deleted and we were able to save the files.”
"After months of trouble shooting, we ran the same query with V-locity on all the Cognos VMs. It completed in one third of the time—a huge improvement for our users. We're now rolling out V-locity to the rest of our virtual environment and assessing it for physical servers."
"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.”
“Our issues prior to installing Diskeeper were numerous support calls for slow computers, which our first response would be to run the Windows built-in defragmenter. This provided an increase in the workstation’s performance. After operating for years this way, we finally were convinced we needed to use something more robust than the built-in defrag tool. We purchased Diskeeper for the entire organization and to this day we have not manually run defrag utilities. The “Set It and Forget It” features in Diskeeper work great and we really do forget it up until time to upgrade."
“This system runs the software that routes all our trucks and outbound scheduling. With the Diskeeper Administrator I can see which computers are not performing at their best and the status and health of the hard drive. It also made installation quick and easy with the software push and upgrade ability.”
“Undelete has been very useful with helping to recover files that users delete. We have been using the Windows Shadow Copy to help with edits, but Undelete is great for removals so that we do not have to go to backup tapes.”
“Diskeeper helps considerably in making older machines more stable. The best results I have obtained from Diskeeper and its Automatic defrag feature, came from installing it on ten 'old' HP DL360 Windows 2000 servers. Prior to installing Diskeeper, these servers regularly experienced BSOD. After installation of Diskeeper in the automatic defrag mode, BSOD's have been nonexistent. After that experience I always install Diskeeper on any Windows server whether physical or virtual.”
"V-locity has consistently increased the performance of our VMs. These noted performance gains are even more readily apparent to our administrators through usage of the new Benefit Analysis functionality. This feature not only allows us to more easily generate reports that visually show the benefits of the product but it also provides us with great documentation for demonstrating the benefit of V-locity to our managerial staff. For example, one of our Remote Desktop Session host servers experienced a 190% improvement in normalized I/Os per second while latency was reduced by 190% as well. We particularly like the IntelliWrite technology.”
“Diskeeper was installed two years ago to all computers. The initial rollout of the new release was a special project but now every new computer gets Diskeeper installed before it is rolled out. Our system is 50%Windows XP Pro and 50% Windows7 Pro; we typically try to keep the machines in top running order and Diskeeper helps us do that.”
“We use Diskeeper in various ways. We've deployed it on our Windows File Servers, also on our nightly backup server which runs on Windows 2003 Standard x64, and with Backup Exec. One important example of how Diskeeper has made our backup system work more effectively is in its use of defragmenting our backup-to-disk procedures. Each night we backup quite a number of servers onto a NAS before archiving to tape. We've scheduled Diskeeper to run around the times it’s actually backing up, and in doing so it has decreased the amount of time necessary to run our backup jobs significantly."
“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."
"A few months ago, I tried out the Diskeeper Administrator. I didn’t think our environment was big enough or complex enough, but I was curious about the usefulness of this tool. I installed Administrator, experimented with it, ran some reports, didn’t find anything alarming, and left it alone for a while. The other day I ran an Administrator status report and was concerned to see one of our workstations flagged with a Performance Alert. Upon investigating, I found it was our most powerful desktop computer. Coincidentally, a few days earlier I had made a mental note about that same machine as it was running sluggishly."
“I am glad to give references for Diskeeper. We have been using Diskeeper Server for years. I used to receive frequent alerts on server drive fragmentation. After installing your Diskeeper, I have yet to see an alert and have noticed no impact on overall system performance. We are running a few Oracle 9i databases at our site. We have 5 Cybernetics DAS RAID 5 arrays, 1 Lefthand Network iSCSI SAN, a Dell EMC / AX100i iSCSI SAN, and an EMC CX-310 fibrechannel SAN at our site. We also have a Dot Hill fibrechannel SAN for email archiving. We have multiple Lotus Notes production and failover servers and use VMware ESX on 4 host servers running this software."
“We’ve been running Diskeeper on our production SQL server to keep the physical fragmentation of files to a minimum after we had a problem with severe fragmentation on some of our drives. It’s done a solid job of keeping the system at relatively low fragmentation level with little cost in terms of overhead on the machine."
“We use Undelete fairly regularly on our main file share server and it works extremely well. Our implementation is on a VMware virtual guest which the Help Desk uses. This relieves the System Administrators of this fairly simple task. It also expedites file recovery which is great from a customer service standpoint.”
