Implement Your Own Green Initiative with Green Defrag

Studies comparing the energy usage of defragmented versus fragmented drives show that defragmented drives do not have to work as hard or as long to access files, thus using less energy. Since fragmentation consists of incontiguous pieces of files and free space randomly scattered across a disk in pieces, hard drives use more energy in both writing and accessing fragmented files.

Breakthroughs such as IntelliWrite 2011 data performance software, improve system efficiency by ensuring files are written contiguously in the first place, thus reducing energy consumption as observed by Russell Beam, Network Administrator, Reynolds Bell Thoroughbred Services:

“Data throughput on the hard drive is faster due to less fragmentation. The computer reads & writes data quicker, using less energy.”

Proactively writing most files without fragmentation means lowered disk usage which extends disk life; it also minimizes the amount of energy needed to defrag thereafter, yielding still more savings, especially considering the number of drives used at a typical site.

“I could see and hear less ‘drive thrashing’ with Diskeeper” commented Mark Sills, Technology Coordinator, Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy. “If the drives are not working as hard to retrieve data they are using less energy. Combine that with reduced drive wear, and the resulting extension of drive life, and you have actual cost savings.”

Since IntelliWrite prevents the majority of fragmentation, it not only provides energy savings on file write I/O: it also minimizes the energy overhead of the defragmentation process itself, as there is simply much less to defragment when using Diskeeper.

“Less disk thrashing due to less disk fragmentation results in less energy used in the data center.” ─ Rob Callaghan, The CCITS Group.

While it would be nice to have seemingly unlimited resources with which to implement large-scale, massive green programs, IT managers can cost effectively launch their own energy-saving green defrag initiative and thereby reduce their site’s carbon footprint all while reducing costs by using Diskeeper data performance software.

Puran Defrag 7.2 - Agent Software Download

The files saved on your hard disk may get fragmented due to various reasons. Due to this, while accessing the files, your hard disk has to move a lot to get data from different fragments located at far distances, this degrades your hard disk performance and overall system speed. In addition, the read/write speed of your hard disk is different at different locations and the files on you hard disk are randomly distributed, this makes you loose potential speed gains. Puran Defrag provides the solution. Puran Defrag is a very simple defrag software which defrag the files and optimize your system, which means it collect all the fragments of a file and put them togather, also it moves some frequently used files and all directories to faster disk area, this upgrade your hard disk performance and thus overall system speed. In addition it results in low wear and tear of hard disk and therefore increase its life. PIOZR is a revolutionary technology which makes your computer faster than ever before. It works on simple principle that “things most needed should be placed at most accessible places in order”. This principle applies to our hard disk as well, the outer edge is the fastest and as we go inside reading and writing speed gets slower and slower. So it will be a good idea to place frequently used files in order on the outer edge of the disk. This is what PIOZR do, it places frequently used files in order at faster disk areas and hence boost the overall system speed. life.
