Centralized Management and Control
Enterprise management of the PerfectDisk disk
defragmentation software is provided by the free PerfectDisk
Enterprise Console. The Console can be used to deploy and configure
PerfectDisk throughout your enterprise.
Fragmentation Prevention with OptiWrite™
PerfectDisk's OptiWrite™ technology prevents
most fragmentation on your drive before it occurs, which prevents your
system from slowing down. OptiWrite™ detects when Windows is going to
fragment files and intelligently redirects I/O to stop the fragmentation
from occurring. System performance is maintained and the need to utilize CPU
and Disk I/O resources to defragment files is greatly reduced. Because less
defragmentation is needed, there is a direct benefit in the form of energy
saved in both CPU usage and in the reading and writing to a disk. It saves
users both in energy costs and in the time required to defragment a file
system.
Space Management
PerfectDisk's new Space Management recovers
disk space by detecting and removing duplicate files such as text documents,
pictures, music, and videos. Recycler purges the Recycle bin and removes
temporary files so that your drive remains clutter free. With Space Reports
you can view a graphical and statistical report of file usage and
allocation.
P2P Remote Capability
Take control of any client running on a
remote computer with the power to access features normally only accessible
via a local client. Make on the fly changes to client configurations and
behaviors without the need to use Remote Desktop. PerfectDisk also supports
direct connections to remote clients via the Enterprise Console.
Automating Defragmentation - Flexible
Unattended Operation
PerfectDisk’s exclusive StealthPatrol™ tab is
used to set automatic fragmentation prevention and optimize your system when
it isn't busy. Auto-optimization affords you the flexibility to optimize
your system when it is idle or when the Windows screensaver is active.
Auto-optimization provides the flexibility to not run during certain periods
of the day or when a user-defined application is running. No other defrag or
optimization utility proves this level of flexibility.
Intelligent Disk Optimization
For the limited fragmentation that can still
occur, PerfectDisk's patented SMARTPlacement optimization strategy optimizes
disk drives according to your unique usage patterns. SMARTPlacement results
in the most consolidated free space available, the elimination of most
fragmentation before it occurs, and a reduced rate of fragmentation.
SSD Optimize is an optimization method for
SSDs that focuses on free space consolidation without defragmentation of
files. Solid State Drives are not affected by file fragmentation like
traditional electromechanical disk drives. As such, it will leave files in a
fragmented state while consolidating free space into large pieces.
Total disk defragmentation and free space
consolidation
PerfectDisk offers the most comprehensive
solution for defragmentation by optimizing virtually every file on the
system, including the Master File Table (MFT), all NTFS metadata files,
paging files, directories, and datafiles, and completely consolidating free
space. And it does it all in a single pass. There's also a Selected Files
Defrag option that is useful for defragmenting very large files such as
video files, rather than defragmenting the entire drive.
Standard Multi-Gigabyte and Multi-Terabyte
Drive Support
PerfectDisk defragments the very largest disk
drives that are prevalent in today's operating environments - drives that
range from several hundred gigabytes to several terabytes. Support for RAID
and Volume Sets enables powerful defragmentation for the largest and most
complex environments with large storage arrays and volumes. Because of this
design, PerfectDisk not only defragments these large drives completely, but
it does so at up to twice as fast as other defragmenters, consolidates the
drives' free space, and uses 80% fewer resources - at no extra cost.
S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring
New S.M.A.R.T. monitoring capabilities
monitor the status of physical drives. It generates warnings and alerts for
hardware performance and reliability, helping you ensure you are aware of
any potential hardware problems.
CPU and I/O - Control Resource Throttling
Perfectdisk provides resource throttling
capabilities to manage resource usage as efficiently as possible. I/O
throttling allows PerfectDisk to run on very busy disks without imposing
additional load on the disk. CPU throttling allows you to raise or lower the
CPU priority at which it runs. PerfectDisk uses very minimal CPU resources
in its standard processing.
Advanced Boot Time Defrag
An important factor in faster PC performance
is a thorough boot time defrag. PerfectDisk's advanced boot time defrag
capability is able to defragment files that otherwise would remain
fragmented such as the Windows pagefile.sys or the file system's MFT (Master
File Table) and provides the best boot time defrag operation.
