Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Server® 2003 systems plagued with defragging issues that may cost Enterprises up to $754 a year per employee

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWeb) December 5, 2006 -- The free disk defragmenter that is part of the Microsoft® Windows® operating systems might prove costly for enterprises. A white paper from Raxco Software, the worldwide leader in disk defragmentation software, entitled "How Disk Fragmentation Affects the Corporate Bottom Line," reveals a host of problems inherent in Microsoft's defragmentation utilities. The utilities are found inside the new Windows Vista™, Windows XP and earlier versions of Windows. With these operating systems, the defragmenter has remained largely unchanged.

With companies accumulating terabytes of data and the size of hard drives growing every year, defragmentationissues are beginning to show up and are potentially a hidden cost to companies. Fragmented disk drives on servers, PCs and laptops can slow response times by 30-80 percent reducing the productivity of enterprise workers--by one scenario, a potential price tag of up to $754 per employee per year.
