Executive Software®, makers of Diskeeper, the Number One Automatic Defragmenter, announced today that in celebration of 19 years of market dominance and overwhelming leadership in the field of automatic defragmentation, they are changing their name to Diskeeper Corporation.

This name change comes on the heels of the highest-ever 4th quarter sales in their 19 year history and continued expansion and profits in 2005. Diskeeper Corporation's strategic vision is to focus its leadership to handle the millions of computers that are still suffering from the destructive effects of disk fragmentation.

According to The NPD Group, the biggest third-party source of sales figures for the IT industry, Diskeeper accounts for over 95% of all standalone defragmenter sales.

Lisa Terrenzi, Chief Operating Officer of Diskeeper Corporation, stated, "Even with Diskeeper's worldwide market leadership, which includes 95% of the sales in the US corporate market and the majority of the Fortune 500 companies using our product, we know that we have more work to do. It is more important than just the sales of our product; it is our commitment to eliminating the performance-robbing and profit-reducing effects of disk fragmentation across the enterprise globally. This is a bold move for an established leader in their field and a company with a 19 year history. We look at it as a further commitment and a statement of what we stand for."

Diskeeper Corporation will continue to expand its relationships and alliances with key partners, including Microsoft, that have recognized and acknowledged that fragmentation is an important issue and that Diskeeper provides an automatic solution to this problem.

Ah, interesting stuff, so thanks for the info. Chugworth as well as the new graphic.

They just had to use a prime number didnt they?

Gee. I'd a thought maybe change it to ..... oh I don't know say Scientology!

screw that, just use OO Software's Defrag 8. it's better than "the number 1!!!" defrager anyway.

Renamed the folder. Thanks.

@Serge666: Well O&O is certainly faster, but I wouldn't call it better than Diskeeper. Besides, PerfectDisk is better than both of 'em, but to each his/her own.

Have to agree with your comment there. Heck, Vopt, O&O and PD are ALL better than the supposedly #1!!

The one I've been using for a loooong time -scheduled defrag each wednesday-
