Diskeeper 12 Achieved Windows 7 Certification

Condusiv Technologies Corporation announced Diskeeper 12 has achieved Windows 7 logo certification.

This certification recognizes it has passed Microsoft Corp.‘s designed tests for its compatibility and reliability with Windows 7 while improving performance.

"Condusiv customers and channel partners expect the highest standard in application and storage acceleration from our new Diskeeper 12. We are proud to be a Microsoft Gold Independent Software Vendor," said Jerry Baldwin, CEO, of Condusiv. "Our goal is to optimize and deliver peak performance and efficiency for our customers running Windows 7 on their enterprise desktops, and in 24/7 work environments and with remote workers that are required to keep laptops running around the clock. IT directors and line of business managers cannot afford poor performance in today’s economic environment. HyperBoot alone can save a sale, or a life by providing instant access to your computer. Diskeeper 12 has proven to deliver up to 30% improved performance on enterprise Windows desktops and laptops running Windows 7. We believe the Windows 7 logo is a statement to our customers that clearly says, we are bullet proof."

Diskeeper delivers faster database performance increasing business productivity and faster backup performance protecting more data in the same backup window. It helps optimize the efficiency in all storage platforms, including SANs and SSDs.

Diskeeper Professional Edition provides application and storage performance optimization for business desktops and laptops.

Diskeeper Administrator Edition software provides a centralized management of Diskeeper operations for all machines on the network, including installation, configuration, monitoring, updating, email reports and alerts.

When files are created, deleted, or modified, they can be broken up and scattered around a volume instead of written in one place. This makes retrieving information like trying to read a book whose pages are out of order, and it can overwork the OS and storage devices.

Diskeeper prevents fragmentation at the Windows level, allowing an application and storage system to write or read at peak performance – with one contiguous access – improving drive performance while extending the drive’s useful life.

It includes technology to help reclaim free space from thin provisioned volumes, maximizing storage utilization, which means no more running out of disk space before you planned.

New Features:

• User Interface – The interface has been given a new look and feel, simplified navigation and drill-down architecture for additional information.
• Disk Health Alerts – It now monitors SMART disk data, checks for other critical file system problems, warns of critical problems or an imminent disk failure and generates alerts by e-mail for 24/7 monitoring. You can be proactive before a disaster occurs.
• CogniSAN – Detects external resource usage within a shared storage system, such as a SAN, and allows for transparent optimization by never competing for resources utilized by other systems over the same storage infrastructure without intruding in any way into SAN-layer operations.
• Space Reclamation Engine – A engine allows the user to manually or automatically zero out unused space from thin provisioned volumes such as SAN or virtual storage systems.
• HyperBoot – This technology has been incorporated to improve system boot time.
• Enhanced HyperFast – Now includes TRIM, which further improves SSD performance and longevity and supports all Windows platforms.
• System Monitoring – Collects system environment activity and provides reporting on elements such as statistical data about system I/O usage, disk state, and Diskeeper effectiveness; provides summary of the statistical data gathered for system performance monitoring purposes.
