Introducing a Revolutionary Way to Change Your Oil:

Regular scheduled defragmentation has often been compared to changing oil in your car. An excellent analogy, because if you fail to address this regular maintenance task, eventually the engine breaks down. The same effect occurs on computers system that aren't regularly defragmented; severe fragmentation can lead to reliability problems.

Yes, the best engine is one that doesn't need an oil change/maintenance, but that product has yet to be delivered.

Diskeeper pioneered Set It and Forget It, decades ago, offering a "regular scheduled oil change". It became advanced enough by the time of Diskeeper 10.0 that those oil changes happened without most users aware it was even happening.

This concept of scheduling has become far more commonplace and Microsoft has recently acknowledged the importance of this activity; following our lead.

Manual defragmentation is an unbelievable pain; compare it in proportion to having to change the oil in the car yourself. Sure you may know HOW to do it, but it takes time and effort.

Scheduled defragmentation was far more livable. It could do this for you. However the problem was that you may have had to schedule this maintenance time outside of production time, because it caused some performance hit, or because that was how the technology was developed (i.e. to be scheduled).

Changing your oil involves flushing out all the current fluid. With the built-in this maintenance time is analogous to "down time" or to follow the analogy, your car was parked in a service garage getting processed (rather than you being able to drive it).

When you think closely, scheduled oil changes also do something else non-optimally. They change ALL the oil, not just what needs to be changed. Is it really true that after 3000 miles every oil particle is equally degraded? Unlikely; but to finitely replace only the worn oil and leave the viable oil is technologically improbable (shy of an oil dialysis machine) if not impossible. It certainly doesn't make much sense given that it would be more work to implement this than just toss and replace all the fluid. Synthetic oils allowed you to delay the scheduled oil change until around 7500 miles, but you still have to get the maintenance done.

Now, what if you could replace just the oil that actually needed replacing and save the oil that was still perfectly good? Now, building on that thought, what if you could replace the deteriorated oil exactly when it was degraded (using new technology); and not have to wait until 3000 or 7500 miles?

That would be real AUTOMATIC oil changes; far better than scheduled oil changes. It would be much like the sun coming up every morning - it just happens! How long you have to wait in between oil changes is irrelevant. It simply is no longer an issue.

Diskeeper Corporation's InvisiTasking is that new technology that allows automatic defragmentation to truly be automatic. It's analogous to a kind of on-the-fly engine-attached device to replace only what oil is worn without affecting the engine in any way. InvisiTasking allows defragmentation to evolve from merely "scheduled" into "automatic".

You can now completely eliminate the concept (and bother) of scheduled maintenance all together; end result true AUTOMATIC maintenance, and the absolute least wear and tear possible on the engine (or hard drive), leading to a longer, more productive and reliable life. Sure, it takes a bit of getting used to as it is still a relatively new idea, but I'm confident when you give it thought you'll agree that it is an evolution of the decades old problem of how to go about solving the problems of poor file system performance.
