Support for MOM/SCOM:Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) allow monitoring and management of numerous computers interconnected by one or more communications networks. Diskeeper software will provide MOM/SCOM numerous alerts, reports and the ability to manage and control product settings and configurations.
- New! IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6). Diskeeper 2009 Administrator now fully supports communication, such as remote management on native IPv6 networks.
- NEW IN SERVER! Terabyte Volume Engine 2.0 — automatically handles fragmentation as it occurs, providing maximum server performance at all times!
- Exclusive! Real-time defragmentation —Diskeeper’s logic controller, which detects various volume and system conditions and chooses the most effective algorithm, has been re-designed to deliver server defrag performance benefits faster and more efficiently.
- Complete file and free space defragmentation in the most extreme of conditions—even if your systems have only a one or two percent of free space left available, or a files has millions of fragments, Diskeeper 2009 can restore lost performance and save the applications reliant on those files from major reliability failures.
- "Defragmentation Intelligence" enhancements — Diskeeper’s logic controller, which detects various volume and server conditions and chooses the most effective algorithm, has been re-designed to deliver performance benefits faster and more efficiently to keep your server running like new.
- Frag Shield™ 2.0 —boosts reliability and availability by automatically preventing crash-inducing fragmentation of critical system files.
- Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Compatibility mode — only Diskeeper 2008’s new VSS-compatible mode affords you the ability to leverage the data protection of VSS and the performance and reliability of automatic defragmentation.
- THE DASHBOARD —The Dashboard tab, an easy-to-use consol, displays real-time details about your server's fragmentation levels, the health of your volumes, the idle resources being used to run, and other useful defragmentation information which accelerates server performance.
- Exclusive! I-FAAST™ 2.0 (Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology) automatically boosts access speeds for the most commonly used files on your server.
- Automatic online directory consolidation boosts antivirus scans and back-up speed.
- Native 64 bit operating systems support.
- BOOT-TIME MODE safely performs Microsoft®-recommended defragmentation of critical system files.
- Network Management Support — control Diskeeper settings and functionality via Diskeeper Administrator edition or Group Policy.

Quote of the month
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"What amazes me about the new version of Diskeeper is the percentage of performance gain the reports show. I’ve seen as much as an 88% performance LexJetgain on one server. And the total amount of fragments eliminated over 253,000.
In all honesty, without Diskeeper I know that these numbers would be higher because there just aren’t enough hours in a day to manually defragment all the drives. The reports that I can get from the program especially help when proving that the financial investment is truly paying off."

Diskeeper 2009 Server
Your Windows™ server will run faster and more reliably with Diskeeper and it will stay that way without needing any intervention from you. Today’s servers must cope with escalating demands to process more bandwidth and volume sizes without bottlenecking. It is literally impossible to do this effectively without the ability to aggressively and dynamically eliminate fragmentation as Diskeeper is designed to do. Maintaining a stable machine at peak performance regardless of load isn’t a “nice to have”, it’s essential. In fact, thousands of IT pros wouldn’t consider running their servers without Diskeeper.
The Breakthrough Of Invisible Software
Diskeeper is the only defragmenter with InvisiTasking® technology, a real-time background processing technology that allows Diskeeper 2009 to defragment your system as fragmentation occurs, even during heavy traffic times – without using active system resources. InvisiTasking eliminates the need for scheduling and administrator attention.
Terabyte Volume Engine (TVE)
The remarkable Terabyte Volume Engine™ is the only defrag technology with the necessary horsepower to eliminate the rapid fragmentation build-up that occurs in high-traffic workstation volumes that handles millions of files.
Terabyte Volume Engine was initially developed for the highest capacity servers but has now also become essential for the high end power user. Large databases, CAD programs -- Diskeeper 2009 handles the biggest jobs fast and thoroughly. The greater the number of files and fragments on a volume, the more dramatic the benefits will be. In a class of its own, Terabyte Volume Engine makes real-time power computer defragmentation a fact.
Shift Into High Gear With I-FAAST™
Diskeeper 2009 I-FAAST® 2.0 (Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology) accelerates file access times to meet the heavy workloads of file-intensive applications. Utilizing a specially formulated technology, I-FAAST closely monitors file usage and organizes the most commonly accessed files for the fastest possible access, up to 80% faster.
Leave fragmentation-based lags and crashes in the dust - even when demand is at its absolute highest! Zoom into the future of network maintenance with Diskeeper 2008 Server edition.
Hardware Support
Diskeeper runs on the Intel® x86 platforms (including compatible CPUs from other manufacturers).
- functional limits:

- Extended Partitions
- Logical Drives
- Volume Sets
- RAID Arrays (hardware and software)
- Mirrored Disks
- Mounted Volumes (letter-less drives)
Resource Requirements
The disk space requirements for Diskeeper depend on several factors. The Diskeeper installation package is about 60 MB. After the installation is complete, Diskeeper occupies about 38 MB of disk space. If Internet Explorer is not present on your computer, some other needed files (hhupd.exe, 50comupd.exe, and wintdist.exe) may be added. Further, your system may require a new or updated version of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which is less than 6 MB.
Additional Software Requirements
Diskeeper relies on the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The MMC provides a single point of control for system utilities such as Diskeeper. The MMC is used as a central location for a variety of Microsoft and third party administrative tools. The MMC is included in Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer Windows operating systems.
A Note About Firewalls
As a normal part of its operation, the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) acts as a server on your system. If you are running a hardware or software firewall, you may see messages indicating Diskeeper Service is trying to act as a server. These messages are expected; you can safely allow these events. This functionality is designed to allow for support for network operations (e.g. Remote Control) via Diskeeper Administrator.
You may also be notified that Diskeeper is trying to access the Internet. It is important to note that Diskeeper does not access the Internet (except when you specifically use the Check for Updates feature), but it does use Windows mechanisms that may trigger these alerts from your firewall. Again, these messages are expected and you can safely allow the events. If networkability or automatic update checking is not required, you can safely disable this.
