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. This chapter explores the most common issue in disk operations--fragmentation. It happens to all disks on all operating systems (OSs). It can affect the health of the system. And it's easily repairable.
