I was speaking with one of Diskeeper’s Channel Partners at SMB Nation last weekend during lunch and we were interrupted by a VAR that said he was familiar with Diskeeper but wasn’t sure why it was necessary to install the software on his clients machines.

The Channel Partner I was with did a double-take and politely asked the VAR if he was kidding. (Truthfully he wasn’t all that polite).

So, by request, I will provide a number of facts that will help to  keep your clients systems running smoothly, increasing their TCO.

Extend Your Clients System Life

This is the one investment that pays for itself many times over. Keeping systems fragmentation-free can extend the life of your hardware up to 3 additional years. Even extend- ing system life an additional six months or a year, the savings are phenomenal. The elimination of defrag scheduling and administrator attention saves time and money, while keeping performance at peak levels throughout the day. The Help Desk traffic reduction is wide ranging. Your client’s IT department (if they have one) suddenly has more time to spend on those projects that needed to be finished yesterday.
