Help desk calls, hangs, freezes and crashes cut by up to 25 percent with new performance software
London a survey receiving almost 400 respondents carried out on IT and business staff revealed healthy percentage reductions of computer freezes, hangs and crashes, as well as reduced help desk calls when they installed Diskeeper data performance software on their IT systems. The survey also revealed that the automated defragmentation and disk management tools Diskeeperbrings is an essential component of their IT arsenal. The survey, which was broken down into three categories system reliability, system performance and business improvements and benefits, was conducted on IT Managers and Business Development Managers. Questions included specific reliability issues such as I/O activity, system crashes, file corruption, data loss, and help desk issues. Key survey results (400 respondents IT and Business Managers): y y y y y y y 18% reduction in the number of helpdesk calls 26% reduction in system hangs and/or freezes 25% reduction in system crashes 21% reduction in program and/or system conflicts and errors 25% reduced filed corruption and data loss 35% reduction in unnecessary I/O activity 26% reduced hard drive failures

These problems hamper IT managers and companies in one form or another on a day-to-day basis. Any solution which can comprehensively address them should be paramount. Just one of these issues could easily justify implementing some kind of third-party solution. The cost for companies is huge, although it just might be a little camouflaged on first inspection. Thomas Doria, New Business Development Manager at Diskeeper Corporation Europe.
