EXCLUSIVE - DISKEEPER 2008

Conclusions

This most certainly has been one of the biggest reviews that we have undertaken for quite some time here.   The amount of data and time needed to be collated and cross checked has been tremendous.   At times when we undertake reviews here we just take for granted the overall performance that the products tested produce some remarkable results.   Though on reflection we sit back and realise on just how much performance is obtained with no degeneration in system performance with the Diskeeper running on “the fly”!   In many areas as shown today, huge improvements of system performance can be found.

We still have much more to cover in this product yet and, over the coming months will be completing updates to the review highlighting areas of productivity performance.    Perchance a 24Terabyte SATA 3Gb/s Mass storage unit with different Raid arrays built within this fun piece of equipment!

One serious point of note to consider here carefully.   With Diskeeper 2008 we had all the possible functionality enabled during both Windows XP and Server 2003 tests.   The intelligent mode in which Diskeeper functions utilising redundant Windows API's is spectacular.

The team at Diskeeper most certainly have an exciting new product that in most areas showed up to and in certain applications a 28% increase in performance over a Windows system with no defragmentation tool installed.   Up to 14% increase in performance in certain areas over Diskeeper 2007 which is quite a remarkable achievement today, the development team from Diskeeper must be jumping around with glee here!

Biggest performance gains in the real-time world were under the stringent rendered scenes in Autodesk's 3DS Max 9, 11 minutes and 27 seconds over last years test.   An exceptional result to gain.

Take into account that on the launch of Diskeeper 2007 we were running performance Dual Opterons.   At that point and we are talking breaking the magical 40 minute barrier; many could not believe the added increase in performance until they actually utilised the software.

Sincerely for the non-user's of this product, with this sort of performance increase to be gained from a simple effect software tool working away quietly in the background!   We all have to sit up and wonder what on earth we have being doing without such an efficient software tool that maintains optimal system performance in many areas of time and cost!

For the end users out there already making full use of the software, the upgrade path is most certainly exciting and showing remarkable improvements upon last years release.   To many then this was a remarkable upgrade path.   The choice of Microsoft platforms which product fully supports and covers is huge, therefore most end users will be awaiting patiently the full release of the product range to optimise certain products that have been for some time a nightmare to maintain.   Gone now are the reinstallations that took many of us hours to complete.

With this in mind, the final burning questions to be asked; cost per unit to make these systems go faster.   Pricing has yet to be confirmed yet on all products as soon as we have these we will let you know.

It takes that diamond magic of something special to make us sit up and take notice.   Today, here and now, we have seen that mystical magic that only a diamond can do to make us smile.
