Disk Defragmentation for Windows NT/2000: Hidden Gold for the Enterprise

Overview Windows NT/2000 servers and workstations are being deployed more than ever within the enterprise. Server applications typically include Microsoft Exchange, SQL, Lotus Notes, and Oracle; on the client side, Microsoft Office is predominant. As users spend more time running such applications to conduct their everyday tasks, the demand for high performance has never been greater. Therefore, system delays and unresponsiveness are not only inconvenient, they are extremely costly in terms of lost productivity. For the modern enterprise, time wasted due to system slow downs is unacceptable, particularly when these can be easily remedied using defragmentation software. This paper covers the performance implications of file fragmentation as well as its associated costs and investigates defragmentation as a solution to unnecessary or premature hardware upgrades.
