Free Utility - New Disk Performance Analyser for XP Networks Reports severe fragmentation related performance loss on your networked systems! The Performance Analyser provides never before available single-point analysis of systems requiring defragmentation attention to achieveoptimal performance. Overview The Disk Performance Analyser for Networks is a stand-alone utility that detects and reports fragmentation-related performance loss on networked systems. It provides this never before available, easy to use functionality all from a single location. After installing and launching the utility, you are presented with a list of computers on your domain(s) available for analysis. Once you have selected target computers, a small agent is temporarily copied to these computers to begin an analysis. The agent quickly and unobtrusively gathers disk fragmentation information from the remote computers and reports this data to the Disk Performance Analyser for Networks main console. The agent then completely removes itself from remote client systems. After collecting all the analysis data, Disk Performance Analyser for Networks will create and present a comprehensive report showing the fragmentation related performance degradation on selected remote computers. Note: Service Pack 2 for Windows XP (SP2) contains a number of security-related enhancements to the operating system. Some of these enhancements affect the operation of certain network functionality in Executive Software's products.
