Raxco Releasing PerfectDisk 12.5 ($40)

Raxco Software, Inc. announced PerfectDisk 12.5, the latest version of its Microsoft utility.

This latest version adds a new Space Management feature that helps businesses and users reclaim wasted disk space and better manage their storage, as well as peer-to-peer remote capability to manage remote clients.

Space Management adds several capabilities, including:

• Duplicate File Finder – recovers disk space by detecting and removing duplicate files such as text documents, pictures, music, and videos.
• Recycler – purges the Recycle bin and removes temporary files so that your drive remains clutter free.
• Space Reports – lets users view graphical and statistical reports of file usage and allocation.

Peer-to-peer remote capability
adds new capabilities, including:

• Remote Control – allows users to take control of any client running on a remote computer with the power to access features normally only accessible via a local client.
• Remote Management – Allows users to make on-the-fly changes to client configurations and behaviors without the need to use Remote Desktop.
• Console Integration – Supports direct connections to remote clients via the PerfectDisk Enterprise Console.

"PerfectDisk’s new space management gives businesses and power users alike the ability to better manage their storage through powerful reporting capabilities as well as tools to recapture valuable and previously wasted disk space," said Greg Hayes, Manager of Technical Solutions at Raxco Software. "Combined with the new remote management, PerfectDisk continues its leadership with the most comprehensive management capabilities to augment its leading disk and storage optimization. With the importance that businesses today place on reducing management costs, there really is no alternative to control fragmentation in a business environment."

PerfectDisk 12.5 is available for the family of PerfectDisk products, including PerfectDisk Professional, PerfectDisk Professional for Networks, PerfectDisk Server, PerfectDisk Exchange, PerfectDisk vSphere, PerfectDisk Hyper-V, and the PerfectDisk Enterprise Console.
