Another Bold Move by the Makers Of Diskeeper.

BURBANK, Calif. -- Executive Software(R), makers of Diskeeper(R), the Number One Automatic Defragmenter(TM), announced today that in celebration of 19 years of market dominance and overwhelming leadership in the field of automatic defragmentation, they are changing their name to Diskeeper Corporation.

This name change comes on the heels of the highest-ever 4th quarter sales in their 19-year history and continued expansion and profits in 2005. Diskeeper Corporation's strategic vision is to focus its leadership to handle the millions of computers that are still suffering from the destructive effects of disk fragmentation.

According to The NPD Group, the biggest third-party source of sales figures for the IT industry, Diskeeper accounts for over 95% of all standalone defragmenter sales.

Lisa Terrenzi, Chief Operating Officer of Diskeeper Corporation, stated, "Even with Diskeeper's worldwide market leadership, which includes 95% of the sales in the US corporate market and the majority of the Fortune 500 companies using our product, we know that we have more work to do. It is more important than just the sales of our product; it is our commitment to eliminating the performance-robbing and profit-reducing effects of disk fragmentation across the enterprise globally. This is a bold move for an established leader in their field and a company with a 19-year history. We look at it as a further commitment and a statement of what we stand for."

Diskeeper Corporation will continue to expand its relationships and alliances with key partners, including Microsoft(R), that have recognized and acknowledged that fragmentation is an important issue and that Diskeeper provides an automatic solution to this problem.

According to Executive Vice President Manny Salinas, "There is a passion that runs through our company on handling the harmful effects of fragmentation. Eliminating this problem is not something that we feel is a 'nice to have'. It is crucial to the productivity and performance of computer users everywhere. Our mission is to solve this problem globally."

With Diskeeper, its premier product, Executive Software has long been the technical leader and innovator in defragmentation technology, from writing the first automatic defragmenter for the Open VMS market to writing kernel level code for the Microsoft OS.

"We continue to be looked to as the defragmentation experts," says Salinas. "As Diskeeper Corporation we have dedicated ourselves to carrying on this tradition by providing computer users everywhere with the most cutting edge technical innovations in the area of automatic defragmentation and computer performance."
