“We found that Diskeeper EnterpriseServer is easier to install and configure than what we were expecting. It runs perfectly on all the servers with absolutely no issues. As far as performance goes, we couldn't be happier. Diskeeper made it so much easier to maintain optimized disks. Prior to installing Diskeeper, we either did manual processes or used the built-in defrag utility with some batch file scripting. Needless to say, that process was far from satisfactory.”

“We use HP ProLiant Servers with multiple arrays. I am using traditional ESX with vSphere and an Equallogic iSCSI SAN as well as one Iomega NAS Device. Diskeeper is running on MS SQL Server x64 and Exchange Server as well."

“It was amazing to see what kind of performance improvement would be gained on the new Windows 7 OS by performing a simple disk defragmentation. I used to depend on either the native Windows defrag tool or Norton’s tool as a solution to fragmentation-related issues. But the Diskeeper products are light years ahead of both of them."

“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.”

“Diskeeper has improved the performance quite a bit on the SQL servers. One runs a Content Management package that serves up our Customer Utility Billing statements and allows customers to access their bills online. We were having performance problems because there are about 500 GB of documents that it manages and indexes. New files are added and old files are deleted from it each day. The disk was highly fragmented. Installing and running Diskeeper easily improved the overall performance by 25%. Another server runs our ESRI GIS database (large maps with data attached to spatial points in a Geodatabase). The database on this server is constantly growing and changing. We've frequently run the SQL based file indexing function to improve performance. We saw the drives on it also were highly fragmented. Installing and running Diskeeper improved the performance by 10% - enough to be noticeable when pulling up a map."

“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 offer hosted email solutions to businesses. Prior to the installation of V-locityI had numerous calls from clients complaining of slowness in the processing of their email. Since installation I have not had a single call from any of my 194 email clients.”

“Fragmentation is usually a big culprit in stealing system performance. We put it on all staff portables. Diskeeper is an integral part to maintaining individual computer's health. I basically “Set It and Forget It”. We are using NetApp StoreVaults for our SAN. We have MS SQL currently running in the district and GroupWise is our messaging system. I am running Diskeeper on those virtual machines with Windows Server 2003/2008. Before we deployed Diskeeper, we had severe fragmentation that caused systems to run slow. Also, just running defrag was problematic because the ‘best way to run it’ was to be logged in as administrator or with administrator equivalent rights. That is not a possibility in a school district."

“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.”

“Diskeeper is an excellent product. I have deployed some of the licenses that we have, focusing on servers that did not seem to be performing well. We use an IBM XIV SAN for the virtual hard drives of our VMware virtual machines, and some physical servers also have SAN-attached drives. On the servers that I’ve deployed Diskeeper to we’ve seen noticeable improvement in overall performance. The most impressive thing in my opinion is that Diskeeper does its job without bogging down the server like so many other defraggers tend to do. I like the product; it’s easy to deploy, easy to maintain, and does its job transparently.”

“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.”

“I would be happy to give you references for Diskeeper AND I can answer their questions. We have a 12TB starter SAN from Lefthand. The largest problem I was running into was system instability. I have one machine that is very sensitive to everything, but in particular before I installed Diskeeper, it was not a stable system. Now that it has Diskeeper installed, the stability has been much improved – the SAN system doesn’t crash anymore.”

“I forgot [V-locity] was running in the background working its magic. It has such a low footprint, I didn’t notice. We had one server show a 40% I/O response time improvement, with 65% IOPS improvement. This came to be the new normal. On one server I had 91% of fragments prevented or eliminated! That saves me from running a defrag after hours that would take a lot of time, and cause tremendous I/O overhead."

“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.”

"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."
