Disk Defragmentation
Fast, reliable disk performance is mandatory in today’s complex information technology world, because system response and virtual memory performance depend on fast disk I/O. unfortunately, common disk fragmentation leads to significant performance degradation. According to one vendor, 58 percent of any I/O operation is disk seek time. So reducing seek time by defragmenting files can play an important part in increasing application performance. How such an intelligent file placement program works and what …showed first 75 words of 1008 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1008 total…their networks at regular intervals. Of that sum, they estimate that billion is due to unnecessary hardware upgrades needed to mask the performance loss due to piecemal file storage. According to Steve Widen, director of International Data’s storage software research, “By using a defragmentation utility, it is possible to acieve performance gains that meet or exceed many hardware upgrades. From a cost standpoint alone, this is an attractive proposition”.
