As organizations seek ways to cut back on energy use and trim costs, it is important to consider the significant positive impact that defragmentation can have in saving precious kilowatts. The proactive prevention of system fragmentation is among the most efficient methods to lessen power consumption, optimize system boot times and improve disk access speeds. Look for solutions that accelerate full computer start up and quickly boot the PC directly into the operating system. While there are some "instant-on" solutions that boot into a thin software layer or cloud-based application, they do not actually accelerate boot-up and can create issues in a corporate environment. If free space is not effectively consolidated, expansion of the paging file or creation of the hibernation file on a system has a very high likelihood of fragmenting.īoot-up times are a common complaint in many organizations and fragmentation is a direct cause of slowing boot time. A fragmented hibernation file, for example, can dramatically increase the time for a hibernating laptop to return to a usable state. Some defragmenters offer only online defragmentation modes and cannot solve fragmentation of most metadata files as well as system files, such as the paging file or hibernation file. Address the Fragmentation Challenges with Metadata and System Filesĭefragmentation of many system files can only be done when the computer system is offline. Consolidating free space prevents file-write performance degradation for future write activity on a given volume.ĥ. It is important to be able to transparently and dynamically monitor file access frequency to determine which files are requested most often, and in coordination with defragmentation operations, strategically place those files to increase the speed of access.įragmented free space will inevitably increase the likelihood and degree of fragmentation of data and system files. Given disk geometries, there is an opportunity to speed up access to frequently used data. Getting Vital Data to the Front of the Pack Look for solutions with zero system overhead for applications that must run frequently or continuously.ģ. In other words, if a defragmentation program creates more problems than it resolves, it will actually cost the organization more time and money. When considering the operations of a utility in an enterprise computing space, the end may not justify the means. Rather than allowing files to fragment when written, look for solutions that prevent fragmentation from occurring in the first place. The Laws are a common sense framework that bring to light the hidden costs, real impact and potential challenges in maximizing the performance of increasingly complex enterprise systems.Įliminating fragmentation is critical to the performance of every system and by direct extension, every network in every site. BURBANK, Calif., May 19 /PRNewswire/ - Diskeeper Corporation, innovators in performance and reliability technologies, today announced the Seven Laws of Enterprise System Optimization.
