PerfectDisk 8

Gaithersburg, MD (Vocus) November 8, 2007

Raxco Software, the leader in disk defragmentation software, announced today that Compton Petroleum Corporation (TSE CMT, NYSE CMZ) has selected PerfectDisk® Version 8 for its enterprise-wide disk defragmentation needs. PerfectDisk 8 Professional was selected over Diskeeper® and has been deployed to all 250 employees in headquarters and field offices.

Before purchasing PerfectDisk, Compton Petroleum only manually defragmented with the Windows® built-in defragmenter when users called the help desk to complain about performance-related issues on their PCs and laptops. With PerfectDisk installed, performance-related calls have dropped significantly.

“PerfectDisk provides us with complete, automatic and virtually invisible defragmentation on our client computers,” said Eric Condon, IT Support Analyst at Compton Petroleum. “Our users run several resource-intensive desktop applications and high-level performance is critical, and PerfectDisk gives them that. It uses minimal resources so our users remain productive at all times. And with its Command Center management console, tight Active Directory® integration and remote access capabilities, management is simple yet powerful.”

“We’re happy to add Compton Petroleum to the rapidly growing family of PerfectDisk business users,” said Joe Abusamra, vice president of operations. “The energy industry is a critical part of today’s global economy, and we’re pleased that PerfectDisk is having a positive, direct impact on all of Compton’s employees, so they can focus on their jobs and be more productive.”

Winner of the Windows IT Pro Readers’ Choice award and numerous other awards, Raxco’s PerfectDisk answers the unique needs of users in the enterprise, SMB and home office environments. For IT managers in large enterprise environments, the new Command Center provides a dashboard view of all servers and PCs being managed.
