Press Release Body = June 1, 2007 Paragon Software Group, the technological leader in innovative data security and data management technology, announced the release of Paragon Total Defrag 2007, the most advanced hard drive defragmentation utility available. Total Defrag 2007 promises to provide the most efficient disk layout possible, providing the user with faster boot times and fast access to files across the entire system.
The product is designed based on Paragon's original technologies. Total Defrag 2007 will provide a complete and exhaustive defragmentation and disk optimization. In addition, users will be able to select options that will place the most frequently used OS files and data towards the beginning or outside tracks of the platters. This will result in even faster boot times and overall system performance.
"We believe that Paragon Total Defrag 2007 will outperform existing defrag utilities. Most of the defrag algorithms were developed during research into how fragmentation levels affect the size of a disk image," said Konstantin Komarov, CEO of Paragon. "This technology is utilized in our other hard disk management products and now, as a stand-alone application."
The major differences of Paragon Total Defrag 2007 from the other defragmentation utilities are the following:
. Disk monopoly access mode - Total Defrag 2007 uses monopoly access in order to prevent the system from attempting to move already defragmented blocks. . System core components optimization - Using the same monopoly access mode, Paragon Total Defrag 2007 acquires access to all core system components - system files, registry, page file, etc. . Defrag and size modification of the MFT - Paragon Total Defrag 2007 can defragment and change the size of Master File Table (MFT). This directly impacts the performance of the file system itself, since all file operations go through MFT and its location and size can save significant time for each read-write file operation.
The product supports all modern operating systems (Windows 2000/XP/Vista) and FAT32/NTFS file systems. The product can work in boot-time, running from the special bootable CD. Defragging a hard drive from a boot CD excludes the influence of operating system processes on defragmentation, but also allows the application to perform defragmentation on almost full hard drives.
The product is available now, direct from Paragon's website (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/total-defrag) for $29.95.
