Defrag Redefines Automatic System Performance Software.


Through Recent Technological Advancements, Defrag Software Takes "Automatic" To a Whole New Level

BURBANK Burbank, city (1990 pop. 93,643), Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1911. Tourism and the entertainment industry are central to its economy; several motion-picture studios and television headquarters are here. Burbank's aerospace industry collapsed with the end of the Cold War. , Calif. -- Over the years, lots of promises have been made about developing a truly automatic piece of system performance software that does its job with virtually no supervision or input from the user. But the reality has been that, for the most part, this has just been a marketing ploy ploy  
n.
An action calculated to frustrate an opponent or gain an advantage indirectly or deviously; a maneuver: "A typical ploy is to feign illness, procure medicine, then sell it on the black market" 
 to get you to buy the software. Up to now, the word "automatic" was really code for "reduced" user input and supervision - especially where servers and networks are involved. However, for defrag software, all of this has now changed, and for the first time ever, the word "automatic" may actually mean what it says.

 of a software company's marketing department could spell disaster if the software doesn't do what it says, and worse, causes problems and interference with valuable system resources (1) In a computer system, system resources are the components that provide its inherent capabilities and contribute to its overall performance. System memory, cache memory, hard disk space, IRQs and DMA channels are examples. .

So, in researching various system performance solutions, what should "automatic" really mean to the IT professional? An automatic piece of software should be simple to install. There should be no extended training periods on how to use it, nor manuals to study in order to understand it. After installation, the software should begin to do its work without any input from the user, and while running, never interfere with system resources - even when resource demand is at its absolute highest. There should never be a need for scheduling...in fact, the system administrator should know with confidence that the software is doing its job without the need for any supervision whatsoever.

Of course now, there is software, such as the new Diskeeper 2007 by Diskeeper Corporation Diskeeper Corporation is the name of a software company based in Burbank, California, founded in 1981 [3]. The company's current name is derived from its flagship product, Diskeeper, a file system defragmentation software package for Microsoft Windows and VAX. , with its groundbreaking InvisiTasking[TM] technology, which does just that. With InvisiTasking, potential problems are handled immediately, on the fly, in real time, without ever affecting or interfering with system resources.
