The Importance of

Server Reliability

It’s important enough that a single user is

able to rely on a computer, and that the user’s

data is always there and quickly retrievable.

But when that computer is a server, and when

the number of users escalates from one or a

few up to thousands, the word “important” as

it relates to reliability and uptime becomes a

severe understatement. In today’s corporate

world, servers are the brains and backbones

of the enterprise, for executives, employees

and, most importantly, customers and

prospects. Even a few minutes of server

slow-down or downtime impacts the bottom

line of the company.

A large part of the reason that server reli-

ability has become so vital is the evolution of

the Web. No longer the static display that it

once was, the Web is now a place where bil-

lions in commerce is conducted, where buy-

ers shop for commodities, pricing and avail-

ability, and where customers log in to place

and track orders. CRM applications, once

only used for internal employees on the

phone, now interface with Web applications

so that customers and even employees can

interact with the company online. Databases

such as SQL must be instantly responsive, as

these interface with the Web as well.

Server Technology Evolves

to Keep Up — Almost

Server technology has some time since

passed the point of being single-box/single-

disk solution, having migrated into solutions

such as SAN (Storage Area Networks), pro-

viding scalability, redundancy, reliability, and

performance. Technology such as virtualiza-

tion takes server computing one step further,

making more efficient use of resources for

greater power to deliver data and services.

Chip technology such as quad-core is being

marketed to keep pace with the constantly

rising need for processing power.

But despite all these advances, the corner-

stone to server response remains the hard

drives, as they remain the slowest compo-

nents — the “weakest links.” Unfortunately

emerging technologies such as virtualization

don’t change that fact, and actually exacerbate

it. While being the weakest links, disks are

also the storehouse for all server applications

and data. Keeping those drives defragmented

for optimum performance has long ago

become a “given”

— but it’s the defragmenta-

tion technology that can make the crucial dif-

ference between keeping drives at maximum

performance and simply “functioning.” With

scheduled defragmentation leaves fragmented

files behind after running, or in best cases only

provides a very short respite from perform-

ance loss. Only Diskeeper 2007 consistently

eliminates fragmentation to continuously pro-

vide maximum performance and reliability —

automatically

“I am very pleased with [the improved]

performance I am seeing on the Windows

2003 servers we have Diskeeper 2007

installed and running on. SQL creates and

deletes many temporary tables. Setting up the

defrags to be automatic, the SQL performance

increased substantially. Queries that originally

took 30 seconds or so are completing in 5 – 10

seconds. The only change was having

Diskeeper 2007 installed and operating.”

Richard B. West,

Systems Management Architect,

IT Solutions and Infrastructure

Engineering, Melbourne, FL

Diskeeper EnterpriseServer version

also contains advanced technologies such as

Terabyte Volume Engine

™

2.0.

“Previously we were unable to defrag-

ment the terabyte arrays and fragmentation

was resulting in processing delays of incom-

ing data files. This resulted in our SQL server

falling behind during times of high usage.

Now, thanks to Diskeeper, we have breathing

room to handle future growth.”

Julie McGowan, Santa Cruz County, CA

The backbone of enterprise computing

environments is the server. And disk subsys-

tems are, undoubtedly, vital to the overall per-

formance of a server. And as tens of thousands

have discovered, the most essential compo-

nent for maintaining maximum performance

and reliability of those drives is Diskeeper

2007 Server editions. Take advantage of the

today’s frantic pace of 24/7 server disk access,

fragmentation is continuous and constant, and

scheduled defragmentation does not keep

pace

. To keep fragmentation from corrupting

workflow, you truly need Diskeeper

2007

with its proprietary InvisiTasking

technology

defragmenting your disks, constantly and

invisibly, with no hit on system resources.

“Diskeeper has transparently prevented

disk fragmentation from building up and

measurably slowing down our production

servers. The ability to prevent fragmentation

from building up without impacting CPU

load on the servers has been a key feature of

the product.”

William Cox, IT Director, Georgia Department
