Raxco Software, the pioneer in disk defragmentation for virtual environments, today announced the addition of its patent-pending Virtual Aware defragmentation technology to PerfectDisk® 10 Exchange. PerfectDisk 10 Exchange ensures optimal performance in virtual Exchange environments. Licensing also includes a license of PerfectDisk 10 Server Virtual Edition, providing Exchange server systems with a fully automated disk defrag solution.

PerfectDisk 10

PerfectDisk 10 Exchange utilizes new patent-pending technology that is virtually aware of its environment. Typical disk defragmenters available in the market today are unable to distinguish that they are in a virtual environment, resulting in scenarios where a virtual guest will consume resources from the host that are critical to another guest's potentially critical activity. This resource contention can easily lead to a severe degradation in performance for the critical guest. With PerfectDisk 10 Exchange, PerfectDisk is able to determine when it is in a virtual Exchange environment and adjust defragmentation accordingly to eliminate performance-debilitating resource contention. PerfectDisk 10 Exchange is the world's only disk defragmenter to automatically defragment and compact Exchange data stores.

"As organizations continue to implement more virtualization solutions to keep costs and energy use down, Exchange servers are a logical part of that process," said Greg Hayes, manager of technical solutions at Raxco Software. "With this addition to PerfectDisk 10 Exchange, Exchange administrators can be assured that they are maximizing performance in these environments without wasting valuable resources."
