Here is a cool success story I thought I'd share: “The deployment process was exceedingly easy. Made the purchase, downloaded and installed the software - watched response times drop. Pretty nice over all. Diskeeper is exceeding my expectations. We had definite performance problems caused by heavy amounts of fragmentation. During the first two hours after installation we saw a significant improvement in access and delivery perceived timings. This was a big surprise for us. The web application that runs on all of our servers was responding faster, pages popped a little quicker and the time between pages was reduced enough to notice without a stopwatch. The servers are relatively standard Dell PowerEdge rack servers, running 3-6 drives in a RAID 5 configuration. Unfortunately I don’t have timing or supporting data for comparison and analysis. I didn’t really think that we would see a noticeable improvement after adding Diskeeper to the servers; it was more of a preventative maintenance issue for me. But on the databases host servers, we saw query times drop rapidly. Since changing pages in our application can require dozens (or hundreds) of database calls, a small increase in the database performance results in a significant difference for the application. Combined with a slightly faster access time for web resource files, it was a very positive change for server performance all around. Diskeeper has been moved from the optional utilities list, to the required utilities list for all of our production server deployment. We are also recommending Diskeeper for our mid-to-high volume enterprise clients for their own hardware. When the money-counters notice a difference dramatic enough to say, ‘We need this on every server’, something good has happened!” Greg Porterfield, Pragmatic SoftwareSolutions Engineer/Architect
