Greater Des Moines Baseball Company Taps Raxco

Raxco Software, Inc. announced that the Greater Des Moines Baseball Company, umbrella company for the Iowa Cubs minor league baseball team, has selected PerfectDisk Server to boost its servers’ performance through disk defragmentation.

The Iowa Cubs, with several hundred employees serving annual attendance of over 500,000, uses its servers for ticketing, merchandise sales, food and beverage sales, video boards and score boards, video production, financial and back office functions, and database management.

The Iowa Cubs have several physical and virtual servers on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 to run the business. Prior to selecting PerfectDisk over a competitive product, the Cubs used the Windows built-in disk defrag utility, but it was not up to the task. "Microsoft’s built-in defragmenter did not really accomplish much in terms of improved performance for our server, plus it was very slow," said Larry Schunk, Chief Technology Officer at Greater Des Moines Baseball. "With PerfectDisk, our servers are running faster than ever, which means all our employees are more productive; in addition, its automation and powerful reporting tools provide a great value."

"The Iowa Cubs and Greater Des Moines Baseball is another great example of PerfectDisk helping an SMB run its business better and improve productivity," said Joe Abusamra, vice president of operations at Raxco Software. "Baseball has historically been this country’s national pastime, and we’re proud to be associated with the Iowa Cubs winning ways."
