IntelliWrite – Behind the Magic Curtain

...get you more data processed with less resources. As the name implies, we make writes happen far more intelligently. For some of you reading this article, your mind immediately jumps to write caching. Not an unreasonable assumption, especially given our state of the art read caching technology – IntelliMemory®. However, IntelliWrite isn’t even in that same ballpark. IntelliWrite gets involved before the first write even happens. It doesn’t cache or defer writes. It makes writes, and subsequent reads, larger and less random. With IntelliWrite, writes flow to and from Storage without delay or risk. IntelliWrite is safe because it is...

The Diskeeper Dashboard – IntelliWrite

We have an online FAQ that I thought I’d post here as well. It provides some valuable insight into what’s going on with all those graphs and statistics related to our proprietary new IntelliWrite technology. IntelliWrite Fragmentation Prevention This section of the Dashboard tab explains that IntelliWrite increases system performance by preventing fragmentation before it happens. IntelliWrite System Statistics for All Volumes Since the Previous Day This section of the Dashboard Tab includes statistical information regarding fragmentation prevented by IntelliWrite, fragmentation eliminated by Automatic Defragmentation, and a sum of the two numbers since the previous day. It is important to...

Crazy or Smart? Inside IntelliWrite part II

...yet unreported, malware. IntelliWrite adapts to the applications on your system and how they write, and thereby fragment your files. That adaptive learning makes IntelliWrite increasingly more effective on your computer. Another part of the technology is an awareness of its surroundings. IntelliWrite automatically detects conditions where it might affect system performance and backs off, thus providing the best balance for performance – improves performance when fragmentation can be prevented and does not impact free space fragmentation when it might matter (i.e. when the available space is very low). One such easy-to-demonstrate case is on volumes with less than 2GB...

Inside IntelliWrite technology

Diskeeper 2010 is all about a revolutionary new technology called IntelliWrite. Never before has fragmentation prevention been a reality – until now. So what does IntelliWrite really provide your systems? To demonstrate its benefits, we did some tests using two identical systems to measure how much fragmentation is prevented. In these tests, lower scores are better (means less fragments on the system). IntelliWrite with Microsoft Office: IntelliWrite on Microsoft SQL Server: And how much faster your computer operates (Higher scores are better): WOW, pretty awesome! That word [awesome] has been almost unanimously applied to Diskeeper 2010 feedback we’ve heard from...

IntelliWrite and SQL DBCC false positives – Technical Bulletin

For SQL DBA’s (only): Diskeeper 2010 with IntelliWrite currently has an issue where Database Consistency Check (DBCC) commands report problems with the database (though no actual problems exist). I guess it could be described as a “false positive” or “false alarm”. The issue is specifically that IntelliWrite’s timing in expanding a file changed what the consistency check was expecting. Thereby DBCC incorrectly reports consistency errors. Turning off IntelliWrite makes the alerts go away. Then running DBCC confirms that no errors actually occurred. So while the issue is very minor (no actual problem) major “problem indicators” do get set off, making...

DymaxIO Technical FAQs

...are allowed to make a backup of your DymaxIO on a CD for future use. Intelliwrite IntelliWrite is the ground breaking technology that prevents the majority of fragmentation from ever occurring, dramatically improving Windows system performance. A small percentage of fragmentation is not preventable and will be eliminated by Automatic Defragmentation. The combination of IntelliWrite and Automatic Defragmentation will keep your system running at optimum performance in the most effective and efficient way possible. Prevention of fragmentation with IntelliWrite has been found to be more efficient than other defragmentation methods. IntelliWrite reduces the need for disk head movement and results...

Best Practices for Storage Area Network (SAN) Defragmentation

...prevention (IntelliWrite) and change the Automatic Defragmentation to occur during non-production periods to address the pre-existing fragmentation: During Installation, disable Automatic Defragmentation; Uncheck the “Enable Automatic Defragmentation” option during installation. Upon installation ensure IntelliWrite is enabled on all volumes (default). IntelliWrite was specifically designed to be 100% compatible with all advanced SAN features, and should be enabled on all SAN LUNs. IntelliWrite configuration is enabled or disabled per volume, and can be used in conjunction with Automatic Defragmentation, or exclusively. To ensure IntelliWrite is enabled, right click a volume(s) and select the feature. Then confirm “Prevent Fragmentation on this volume”...

What if fragmentation never happened?

Diskeeper 2010 is here! With Diskeeper 2010 comes a revolutionary new technology called IntelliWrite(tm). Here’s a description I grabbed from one of our product brochures: “IntelliWrite is a major R&D breakthrough that addresses the cause of fragmentation and prevents up to 85% and more of the fragmentation that has long plagued every hard disk. This technology is unavailable anywhere else, and nothing else comes close. IntelliWrite elevates system performance and efficiency to a whole new level. It keeps disks clean and fast by intelligently writing contiguous files to the disk. The benefits of IntelliWrite and the fast, efficient disk it enables go far beyond...
