Mississippi State University Libraries Chooses PerfectDisk 2008 Server for Disk Defragmentation Needs

Ease of Use and Free Space Consolidation Drive Decision

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) May 14, 2008 -- Raxco Software, the leader in disk defragmentation software, announced today that Mississippi State University (MSU) Libraries (http://library.msstate.edu/) has selected PerfectDisk® 2008 Server (http://www.raxco.com/small_medium/small_perfectdisk_server.cfm) for its Windows® defragmentation. PerfectDisk 2008 provides MSU Libraries with automated defragmentation and free space consolidation capabilities that were unavailable with any other solution.

Prior to deploying PerfectDisk, MSU Libraries used the Windows built-in defragmenters on its Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server 2000 systems. In this environment, defragmentation was done on a manual basis weekly and took roughly 8 hours to complete. PerfectDisk 2008 has allowed MSU Libraries to automate the entire process and reduce the rate of fragmentation with PerfectDisk 2008’s Space Restoration Technology (http://www.raxco.com/small_medium/small_perfectdisk_server.cfm#key)™, which completely consolidates free space.

“We have much-improved server performance since installing PerfectDisk 2008,” said Bobby Goff, Web Services Specialist at Mississippi State University Libraries. “This improved performance helps our users work better, and this is achieved automatically, with minimal system overhead and easy management.”

“Mississippi State University Libraries adds to the long list of higher education institutions benefitting from PerfectDisk,” said Joe Abusamra, vice president of operations at Raxco Software. “We’re happy that the Libraries’ faculty, staff, student workers and students are all able to benefit from the improved system performance PerfectDisk provides.”
