Network Performance Management
A fast, stable network is crucial to the IT infrastructure of any enterprise. There are many issues that adversely affect network performance—but a critical factor that can often be overlooked is a poorly tuned and overburdened file system that uses up the available bandwidth when sending unnecessary I/O requests back and forth across the network from system to backend storage.

If physical and virtual drives within a network suffer from fragmentation (the splitting of files into many pieces), network traffic will be greatly slowed as files are read and transferred in multiple fragments.

On physical drives, fragmentation can mean an average file is split into thousands or even tens of thousands of pieces. The ramifications of this condition are many, and include greatly slowed performance due to the extra I/Os required for accessing and writing such files. Other effects include decreased hardware life, reduced reliability and increased energy consumption.

On virtual drives, data in logical disks becomes fragmented, causing I/O bottlenecks that result in markedly decreased VM access times. As more VMs are added, this situation is compounded and performance is slowed even further.

A Key Component in Network Performance Management


The solution to these I/O issues all across a network is to address fragmentation in every place it occurs.

For physical drives, Diskeeper® data performance software tackles fragmentation automatically and transparently. Its proprietary IntelliWrite® technology means that the majority of fragmentation is prevented before it even occurs, and its other features make Diskeeper the most advanced fragmentation solution available today. All features utilize InvisiTasking® technology, which means zero negative performance impact while Diskeeper operates.

The solution for virtual drive fragmentation is V-locity® virtual platform disk optimizer. Like Diskeeper, V-locity also utilizes IntelliWrite technology so that the majority of virtual disk fragmentation is prevented before it ever happens. Unnecessary I/Os are eliminated, resulting in faster VM and host I/O throughput, and the ability to add VMs without a resulting drop in performance. Other of the many benefits include increased VM density, increased platform reliability, lower operating costs and increased hardware life.

Employing both of these solutions across an entire network means complete elimination of a key barrier to network performance. With all drives in a fragmentation-free state—including those attached to servers, PCs, workstations and laptops within a network, as well as virtual drives— data is read and written with as few I/Os as possible. The physical network is able to transmit data at far greater speed, simply because it is accessed and written far more rapidly.

"We use Diskeeper on Windows 2003/2008 Servers and on all of our Windows 7 Workstations. The new version of Diskeeper works quite well keeping the hard drives defragged and running smoothly. Using Diskeeper on our servers helps us keep our relatively simple network even easier to manage."

– Peter W. Caton, North Suburban Library


"Being a Diskeeper user from the beginning I have learned to trust what works and V-locity works. It is as simple as that. The statistics speak for them self. It's not like anti-virus or security updates; I just don't worry when I install your software. I think you all do your homework. I hope you maintain what you do and keep doing it. Good Job!"

– David Tweedale, The Wittern Group, Inc.


"Performance skyrocketed on the networks when we deployed Diskeeper and we found that hardware issues decreased, compared to offices with the same type of hardware that weren't running Diskeeper!"

– Carl Young, PlanetCom, Inc.
