“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."

"As we learned through this exercise with Condusiv’s V-locity® I/O reduction software, we were getting hit really hard by thousands of excessively small, tiny writes and reads that dampened performance significantly."

“When building out my environment I make sure to have fast hard drives, controllers, etc. in order to make sure I do not suffer bottlenecks. I am very careful about not over-committing resources. However, I was shocked to see how much performance increased on the servers I had hosting disk-intensive operations (this includes our database server, our Exchange server, and two terminal servers). I am very happy with this V-locity product.”

“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."

“Prior to installing Diskeeper we had problems to get and keep the disks defragmented, especially the larger volumes. The performance of those volumes was poor. Diskeeper with IntelliWrite took care of those problems thus greatly improving the disk performance especially the volumes on our HP EVA SAN 4000.”

“We run Diskeeper on HP EVA SAN with 4 drives of one TB each (4000 and 4400) and we do see a big improvement on the backup time which came down from 48 hours to 32, and it’s still going down. Diskeeper removed over 45 million fragments in the last two months on a specific volume that had only 15% free space and IntelliWrite did prevent 24,000 fragments. Diskeeper is worth the price and I never had any trouble with software from this company, so that alone narrowed the choices.”

“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."

“The Diskeeper EnterpriseServer performs very well on our servers, keeping the file systems in great shape. All of our Diskeeper servers use Pillar Data Systems SAN disk except for one. Most of our Windows servers run as virtual machines under VMware ESX. On our production servers Diskeeper does a great job. For example, Diskeeper running full time on our main email server which is Domino Lotus Notes keeps the file systems defragmented and running optimally.”

“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.”

“Undelete 10 is a nice program, especially on Windows 7 because I sometimes delete files in the left hand side on Windows Explorer AND I have the habit of pressing Shift+delete. I was happy to recover a big installation file which I accidentally deleted from my production machine. My favorite feature is Dig Deeper. I already needed to use this because I installed the software on a production machine and I had to recover a file. The biggest problem Undelete solves for me is easily recovering my accidental deletion of files.”

“I accidentally deleted an important VMware file that was my development partition for one of my projects, thinking I had a backup. When I realized that I did not, I was able to download Undelete, install it, and recover the file that was lost as a result of pressing Shift+Delete on my keyboard. Undelete saved my bacon on that one.”

“I have fewer response time issues with the desktop PCs because I run Diskeeper. While others experience slowdowns of their machines, mine just keep chugging along nicely. No lockups, no momentary lags, and half as many HelpDesk issues as others around me have. In fact I never get a call about a PC hardware issue; it’s usually a software problem. I also run my PCs 24x7, which means more wear and tear over time. They do nightly backups, database queries and many other things. Mine even run over weekends but still do better than the other computers."

"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."

“I will be happy to give references for Diskeeper to other Network Administrators. I'm using Diskeeper EnterpriseServer on two different RAID drives. The RAID 5 is 6.35 TB and the other is on a large disk array with RAID 5 that is partitioned into smaller disk, the largest being 2.25 TB. I run Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 servers used as domain controllers, and run Retrospect Backup Server edition. Before installing Diskeeper my backup application would crash, or use high amounts of resources. I follow a disk-to-disk-to-tape regimen for backups. The disks file IO with constant additions/removal of backup files. Diskeeper keeps the level of fragmentation of these disks to a minimum.”

“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.”
