Independent Lab Report Educates IT in German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Japanese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese to Avoid Hidden Pitfalls of Built
in Utility
NEW YORK, June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- A new NSTL Lab report will be released
in seven Asian and European languages during PC Expo this week. The report
titled, "Comparison Testing: Diskeeper vs. the Windows 2000 Disk
Defragmenter," reveals how dependence on the manual disk defragmenter included
in the Windows 2000 operating system, could create a number of significant
problems for network administrators running enterprise systems worldwide.
"As Windows 2000 continues to be deployed in corporations globally, we
felt it was important to provide the IT community with information that would
educate them on the advantages of using Diskeeper in an enterprise environment
over the manual defragmenter built into Windows 2000," said Lloyd Holder, CEO
of NSTL. While this report was first released in an English only version a
short time ago, it has created significant interest and positive feedback.
"With all of the interest the English version is creating in North America, we
have received many requests to have this report translated for wider use."
NSTL provided the IT community with the first clinical evidence of the
level of system performance gains possible through routine network
defragmentation when it began testing disk fragmentation in 1999. Through a
series of tests conducted on Windows-based enterprises, NSTL labs discovered
performance gains of between 56% and 81% on NT servers and workstations -- and
over 200% on those running the Windows 2000 operating system.
In their latest study, NSTL's lab engineers tested the speed and
performance of the manual 'disk defragmenter' included in Windows 2000 against
the leading third party network defragmenter, Executive Software's Diskeeper.
According to the report, "After extensive testing, NSTL found that Diskeeper
was between three and five times faster than the Windows 2000 Disk
Defragmenter when defragging drives. In addition, NSTL discovered that
Diskeeper did a much more thorough job of defragging the test drives."
In a separate report released last year by analysts at IDC further
supporting the use of a network defrag utility, analysts found that
corporations were losing as much as $50 billion annually from system
performance bottlenecks and unnecessary hardware upgrades that network
defragmenters could have economically prevented. And, the reported also
pointed out, that "The decision to defragment the enterprise automatically
verses manually will save companies thousands if not millions of dollars."
Copies of the new NSTL Report in English, Spanish, German, French,
Italian, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, and previous lab
reports will be provided to media attending the press reception presentation
on Tuesday, June 26th at the 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. at the Manhattan Center Studios,
Hammerstein Ballroom, 311 W. 34th St., New York, NY.
