Diskeeper and Windows Home Server

Today Microsoft announced Diskeeper's planned support for Windows Home Server. You can read more about it here or here.

Windows Home Server will help families with multiple PCs easily centralize, share and protect their digital pictures, music, documents and videos. It simplifies a family's life, connects their digital devices and experiences, and will grow with their needs.

"We are pleased to work with Diskeeper to help provide maximum system performance and reliability possible to Windows Home Server customers," said Steven VanRoekel, director of Windows Server Solutions at Microsoft. "Diskeeper has worked with Microsoft since Windows NT. It's great to see them extend their expertise to our new platform for the home."

Diskeeper Corp is one of the orginal 8 software companies to support Microsoft's new consumer-oriented server system. As a "headless" operating system, the automatic, hands-off design of Diskeeper will be a big asset to maintaining optimum performance on a system that is sure to store large quantities of data.

If you are beta testing Windows Home Server today, you can trial Diskeeper Server for the time being. An official Diskeeper release at a consumer-friendly price will be available in the near future. I'll post a release announcement on the blog when that is available.

2nd place ain't so bad. - a Channel blog

Diskeeper 2007 took second place in Storage Management Software in the eWEEK "Channel Products of the Year".

This was rated by Resellers based on 4 areas: familiarity with product, profit potential of the product to the channel, opportunity the product presents for associated sales, and overall market impact of the product.

It's nice to get this kind of recognition for our company's efforts to support the channel. It's been a major committment, especially in the last few years, and has been a large factor in our current growth and expansion.

Speaking of channel support, several of our Channel Reps and I will be at the QLogic Fusion event in San Diego next week. If you are a Reseller attending this show, stop by our booth!
