InvisiTasking Keeps Servers Free of Fragmentation at All Times Without Systems’ Demand
As tested by Percept Technology for the Diskeeper software
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 30, 2008 at 3:52 pmDiskeeper Corporation has published independent tests showing that its technology InvisiTasking automatically keeps the busiest servers free of fragmentation at all times without intruding on systems’ demands, making the essential task of defragmenting hassle free for IT managers and completely transparent to end users.
The revolutionary technology InvisiTasking, coined of ‘Invisible’ and ‘MultiTasking’ is developed by Diskeeper Corporation and allows for the defragmentation tool to use only idle resources. It runs in the background and does not affect system performance. If there are no resources available, InvisiTasking simply ceases running until resources are freed up.
Percept Technology labs, an independent product testing and consulting company ran the tests on Microsoft Jetstress and Microsoft SQL server I/O simulator (SQLIOSim). Both require a high percentage of hard disk resources,leaving few idle resources for Diskeeper to utilize.
Results showed that InvisiTasking does as it claims: Diskeeper was able to defragment files with no intrusion or dampening of system production even when there was only 1% (on Jetstress) and 0.3% (on SQLIOSim) of disk resources available for Diskeeper to perform its defragmentation.
Percept’s testing demonstrates that even in situations where disks are heavily fragmented and disk resources are at a premium, Diskeeper keeps its promise to clean up fragmentation and maintain this state on defragmented hard drives while not affecting overall system performance.
