I want to clear up a few confusions I've seen recently on the internet. Diskeeper 2007 introduced on-the-fly defragmentation for the first time in the Diskeeper product line but, it should be stated, Diskeeper was not the first performance tool to do this. This "real [...]
A few select Diskeeper Corporation enterprise customers have received Diskeeper 2007 for Vista. The primary reason for the delayed release is due to subtle changes in the Master File Table (MFT). We've addressed these but are being very cautious and testing this heavily (bootime defragmentation). [...]
One of the frequent questions our staff are asked is whether Diskeeper for Windows x64 operating systems (AMD64/EM64T - CPUs) is native or compatible? By compatible, that of course means it runs in 32 bit mode; native referring to it running in 64 bit mode. [...]
This is brief update. Diskeeper 2007 uses Windows system counters to enhance awareness of other activties on the system. The Idle Resource Graph (also known as the InvisiTasking graph) requires access to performance counters, which are enabled by default on Windows 2000+ systems. A skillfull [...]
One of the topics that a reader requested to be covered in the Diskeeper blog was "what makes I-FAAST different than other file placement/sequencing strategies available on the market?" Don't let the title of this entry mislead you, as this blog entry is not intended [...]
What best describes Diskeeper 2007? I think beta tester Michael Ratledge (an IT security pro) said it best - "Just install it and let 'er rip!" Diskeeper 2007 does what an automatic defragmenter should do. It defragments files on-the-fly without any impact on the system. [...]
Due to a record pace for company software volume license sales in 2006 (thanks to our customers volume sales have been up 4 quarters in a row), Diskeeper Corporation is returning the favor to the environment. The next Diskeeper version will be using chlorine-free, recycled [...]
Paul Thurrott has been covering Vista builds for some time in his reviews and articles, often testing Diskeeper 10 as part of the review. As he noted in his latest review (https://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_rc1_03.asp) there are ways to get Diskeeper installed on Vista RC1. I completely agree [...]
In order to squeeze optimal performance out of a database, there are two "layers" that need defragmentation; the database file(s) themselves, and the internal records/indexes within those files. Diskeeper, of course safely and automatically defragments files and free space (yes even live databases). Advanced Diskeeper [...]
As I suggested in an earlier blog, we have had a handful of comments on Paul's free space blogs. Given the comments, and the relative ambiguity of this whole discussion, I feel I need to clarify Diskeeper's viewpoints on the matter a bit further. I [...]
