To all who stopped by our booth at COMDEX to say hello, ask questions, or
just to get the latest news - thank you! It was a pleasure meeting you and
reinforced my view that Windows NT users, as a whole, are the most interesting and
fun group I've ever worked with.
While at the booth, the two main questions asked were: What are the features
of the latest version of Diskeeper (4.0), and what is Undelete for Windows
NT? I thought I'd briefly revisit each so that anyone else who had these same questions
would have them answered.
The big news with Diskeeper 4.0 is the new boot-time Paging File
defragmentation feature. As you may know, the Paging File in Windows NT
serves as virtual memory space on the disk, and is used to swap pages to and from
memory to supplement the use of physical RAM. However, because access to disk-based
"memory" is measured in milliseconds and physical RAM in nanoseconds,
the paging file is 100,000 times slower than RAM and can become the most important
performance bottleneck on a Windows NT system. In addition, a paging file that is
fragmented into multiple fragments - due to being dynamically extended and reduced
in size - can greatly increase the amount of disk I/Os needed and significantly
slow down the opening and closing of applications. Defragmenting the paging file
into a single location not only speeds up paging performance, but provides more
consolidated free space for Diskeeper to defragment the whole system.
And Undelete, our latest product, solves an age-old problem for System
Administrators. You're most likely all-too-familiar with the user
"accidentally-deleted-file" syndrome. "I can't find my file! It was
there
yesterday! What happened to it?" It can be as minimal as a lost note, or as
horrifying as the loss of files or directories meaning thousands of hours
worth of work. If a file is deleted to the Windows NT Recycle Bin, it of
course can be recovered. But if the application being used doesn't delete
to the Recycle Bin (which many don't), or if the file was on a shared drive
or deleted across a network, or if the Recycle Bin had recently been emptied
or was disabled, you're out of luck.
The only product of its kind for Windows NT, Undelete not only recovers
files from local disks, but also from shared drives and across networks. It
recovers all types of files, deleted from all types of applications, and can
even recover permanently deleted files straight from the hard drive.
