"As soon as I realized that the servers were not being defragged, I set out to get Diskeeper installed. I would be willing to answer some questions if needed for references.
We are running Dell PowerEdge servers from 2650 to 2900, depending on when de purchased them. I know that our primary file server is definitely being helped with both Diskeeper and Undelete running on it.

"Diskeeper has saved time in outage and work hours by not having to defragment the clients manually. I would recommend Diskeeper to others."

"No problem would be glad to help. Our machines have fewer disk related problems and seem faster with a longer disk life.
HP / Compaq
Raid 0, Raid 0+1, and Raid 5
Over the 8-10 years we have seen better and better file access time and overall disk performance and drive life because of running Diskeeper.
FYI I have been using Diskeeper since NT when you gave away Diskeeper Lite in the mid 90’s.

"I installed Diskeeper 2010 on a few cutting edge systems that replaced some 5 and 6 year old technology. The users are ecstatic with the increase in performance. I had made note of the defragmentation tool and why they needed to use it periodically.
I'll be one of the first to know when the systems start sputtering then I can see if these guys have been using the tool.
I have probably loaded Diskeeper on about 85% of the computers in our organization. I personally have been using this tool since Windows NT was deployed to the engineering-based users.

"Since I was able to get Diskeeper on all of our servers a couple of years ago, we have maintained the current versions and updates. We have experienced no issues and great load / access times. As someone who came from another facility which did utilize Diskeeper, frankly, I couldn’t imagine not using it.
We have 10 servers at the Cancer Center, all running Windows 2003 (one Enterprise version, rest standard). I view and utilize your software as a necessary part of server performance. Diskeeper just saves me time in server management and maintenance, and keeps the servers running very fast!
I recommend it even to my personal clients—small businesses with as few as one server, either Windows SBS 2003 or SBS 2008. I do consulting on the side with my own business; I service a handful of small clients (2-laywer firm, single optometrist practice, etc.) in addition to my work as IT Director here at the Cancer Center.

"We use both Diskeeper and Undelete, in our current environment, Undelete has saved several documents in the past 5 years that otherwise would have taken hours to recreate. We’re currently migrating to Windows 7 x64 platform. We're running Diskeeper on all servers, and Undelete on our DMS (Document repository servers) and File Print Servers.
I'm confident that system performance has been increased, but it would be anecdotal as we don't run servers without Diskeeper, so I have no real time or historical data to demonstrate it. I know that when I'm helping clients that don't have Diskeeper deployed, performing a defrag always improves the client experience.
As to the best value, the "Set It and Forget It" features as implemented on the servers. Diskeeper has been transparent, so I don't even realize it's running until I check the eventlogs.
I always recommend Diskeeper to all peers and or other people that ask about how to optimize their desktop/server environment.

"Without Diskeeper our Veritas servers would become useless and incapable of doing any backups within an acceptable time. Any server with disks that are being used for backup probably should be running Diskeeper because of the fragmentation that occurs with backups being created and deleted daily. "

"We are seeing faster virus scan speed and improved seek time on our data servers from using Diskeepe 2010. Diskeeper has been a good tool for us. On a large data server close to 1TB, we shaved off about one forth of the time of the virus scan.
And we have Diskeeper running on our VM’s.

"I am indeed running Diskeeper 2010 and have certainly seen an improvement across my servers in terms of fragmentation, and also a reduced backup window (faster backups) due to this.
We’re a Japanese-based manufacturer of CNC Machine Tools. With respect to the applications I’m running, we’re running a Windows network, with a mix of Server 2003, R2 and Server 2008, and R2. We run Exchange server, as well as a Terminal Services environment. We use SAP as our ERP and just the usual suite of network applications, such as MS Office, and various network file shares.
I’ve certainly seen the benefit from IntelliWrite as the fact that I’m now running the set and forget principle. It just works and occasionally I check back and find that Diskeeper is doing its job, and there’s no fragmentation on my volumes.

"Our "shining star" is Diskeeper 2010 Server on our file server. This virtual server on our SAN hosts both user home directories and our shared data directory. On any given day we have 30 or more staff making use of both shares, which has tangibly slowed file access over time in the past due to a high file fragmentation rate. Diskeeper reports that in the last week IntelliWrite™ fragmentation prevention has prevented over 4000 file fragments from occurring, a 46% prevention rate.
Running Diskeeper has not adversely affected server performance either due to InvisiTasking consuming mainly idle resources. Diskeeper has saved us time and money by automating disk defragmentation and eliminating the downtime usually associated with it.

"The new technology, IntelliWrite, operates smoothly in the background. I have friends who converted to Apple because they thought PC’s just got slower as they got older. They were not defragging. Even when defragged, it was not complete. Now, my programs are smoother and faster. I would like to go back to the Mac converts and have them try a Windows PC again.
My key program is Outlook. My file is about 1.4 gigs. Since installing Diskeeper with IntelliWrite, when I have to make a copy of the active file, which can be several times a day, the copy speed is about 60% faster. I would attribute this to more thoroughly defragging and avoiding fragmentation in this large file.
The defrag on large volumes was particularly helpful. I use one for backup and it helps to keep things in order. In general, it is nice to know the partitions are organized. It is easy to set up a late night defrag. The defrags go quickly and smoothly. The information furnished puts the user in control."

"I love the Diskeeper product and the fact that you support the 64bit Itanium Operating Systems is a huge benefit to us. These systems are very critical and the fragmentation prior to using Diskeeper was really hurting performance. If I recall correctly the drives were at about 90% fragmentation and with Auto Defrag enabled they stay around 3-5%. That feature alone makes the product worthwhile."
