Managers are concerned about the reliability of their data storage, but that worry usually focuses on the physical status of drives or from outside security alerts. However, the everyday usage of your computer can result in fragmentation of files, which can compromise the integrity of your data and result in slow performance. This eSeminar takes a look at the problem from a technological and administrative vantage point, and more to the point, what you can do to mitigate the effect of fragmentation.

  • The effects of disk fragmentation on your systems functionality and reliability
  • Usage plans that can be put in place to avoid frequent occurrences of fragmentation
  • Backup plans to avoid loss of full documents should you experience severe fragmentation
  • A review of disk fragmentation software:
