Storing data on a disk has become less expensive and more convenient in modern times. But with that increase in storage capacity and decrease in price comes a problem of management. There are many common misunderstandings leading to operational inefficiencies when it comes to the management of disk fragmentation and defragmentation.

The Shortcut Guide to Managing Disk Fragmentation will help IT professionals, analysts, and engineers to understand the benefit of a holistic disk defragmentation strategy across the enterprise. The new guide will examine how the pervasive problem of fragmentation affects a computer system and what approaches are effective in reducing these effects. Lastly, the guide will outline the mechanics of automatic defragmentation, and how to select and deploy an automatic defragmentation solution.
