Executive Software IDC Reveals Serious Omission Leading To System Downtime and IT Investment Drains April 28, 2003, Las Vegas, Nevada – In a new IDC White Paper being released this week at N+I titled: “Reducing Downtime and Reactive Maintenance: The ROI of Defragmenting the Windows Enterprise,” IDC analysts look beyond the scope of fragmentation’s impact on system speed and performance and report how unhandled disk fragmentation is often the cause behind long or aborted boot times, slow or aborted back ups, file corruption, system and program hang ups, system freezes and other system errors. “Most windows systems managers, as well as a growing number of users, know that fragmented files on disks cause an overall degradation in system performance,” notes the report, “What is only now becoming more well known, however, is that fragmentation can occur not only in the files and data on a drive, but also in the file system; creating common reliability / stability issues that demand IT time and attention.” As defragmentation software continues to gain recognition for improving not only the speed of a system, but more importantly its reliability, its use on nearly every server and workstation running Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP and Windows® Server 2003 is fast becoming as essential as other indispensable utilities. “As large Windows-based enterprises continue to deploy network defragmentation utilities and realize huge performance gains and reduced TCO, the sales of such utilities are likely to exceed virus detection sales by 2004,” according to Steve Widen, IDC Analyst.
